#6 Oh boy! Is this another ratchet click on the Paleo "cycle of violence"?

If they're now trying to off the really big dogs I say screw the pop corn. It's time to break out the shrimp cocktail and Martinis.

#10 well beat me and call me a liberal, but if I have my druthers, Abbas and Dahlan wont get killed.

But meanwhile a whole lot of thugs ARE getting killed, and thats good enough for me.

#12 Well Mike N. took care of point 2, who's up to take on point 1? ;^)

Sorry LH I want them all to burn, maybe when they get down to the 8th string they'll find someone sane.

#13 what do we want from Abbas?

Nice words. Hes been willing to say nice words since 2001, since even before Yasser died.

Attempt to do certain cabinet maneuverings to get control of the PA sec forces. Well, after Arafat died, he started doing some of that.

Kick Hamas' ass. Thats been our last real gripe. Abbas is a talker not a doer. Says good things, but lets Hamas walk around with guns. Right? Well now Abbas' guys are in the streets killing Hamasniks, and being killed by them.

What the hell more could we ask? What would a sane Pal leader look like, that would be different from Abbas? He should, like, attack Meretz and Avodah for being too dovish? He should give a speech about why Maalei Adumim is a grand idea? He should endorse Bibi's latest book? And you guys think I'm naive?

#15 By the way, the Big Guys called a ceasefire. Which was promptly ignored, the shootings and explosions have started up again.
