#1 Actually, they will agree to a cease-fire within days to save themselves.

#2 Hmmm,looks like targetting Hamas leadership is having the desired affect.

#3 "...to save prospects for peace in the Middle East."

Peace? Hell, they're just trying to save their asses!

The best thing for peace right now would be to keep the missiles raining down on Hamas day and night. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Sharon has the guts to do it.

#4 Must suck sleeping in cellars, and a different one every night. Also must suck pissing your pants everytime you hear a helicopter.

#5 It will be easy to agree to a ceasefire...since they won't feel bound by any agreement.

#6 This quote comes from a post from last week...

...The organization, which has carried out dozens of attacks during the past 33 months of Israeli-Palestinian violence, called the attack "the beginning of a new series of revenge attacks . . . in which we will target every Zionist occupying our land."

If Hamas were to backpedal and not pursue this eloquently stated policy, could they possibly be able to save face? What could they tell their ~~lunatic~~ passionate followers that would not make them look like the sell-outs that they accuse Abu Mazen of being? Should be interesting to see what results from this new attempt to buy time.

Israel should continue to play wak-a-mole on any hamas-er who shows his head above ground, and not let up for a moment.
