#5 AAMB not enough? AAMB isnt loyal to Abbas, Dahlan, et al. Its defied them for some time, its only diff from Hamas is over religion. Looks like a 3 sided battle - Abbas, Dahlan and the other members of the "Pals who know cause and effect" group, the secular crazies (AAMB) and the Islamist crazies (hamas and PIJ) Abbas/Dahlan were counting on the sec forces outnumbering the Hamas "militants" Since Hamas is trying to take over the sec forces, Abbas/Dahlan need to counter by having their own militia.

Basically everyone is mobilizing as much force as they can.

I wouldnt count on quiet.

#6 Can't we just set aside some very large area, maybe somewhere in either Iraq, Afganistan, or the surrounding area, Move all civilians out (Bribe them with having the Corps of Engineers build them new, modern, mortgage free homes) and then just herd all the baddies into the now deserted area.

Seal the borders and watch. Make no effort to deprive them of any weapons, let them take anything they want and can afford inside with them. Supply clean drinking quality water, but no electricity. Provide a "Trading Post" at points around the border, allow ahything to be traded EXCEPT, Weapons, Ammo, Poisions (Etc).

Inform them that they can do anything they want inside the area, but try to leave and die.

Kinda reminds me of the stories I read about the Warsaw Ghettos, but for deserving murderers, not just hated Jews.
