#1 Be our guests wormbrains. Have you heard about the new toy we're supplying to IDF? Precision guided 155 shells. Accurate to within a few yards. I believe IDF is going to bring up a whole line of heavy artillery and start non-stop barrages very soon. Have you seen those really small toy planes over your heads ? Got your GPS locations and sent right back to those gunnies, doncha know ? Have fun.

#2 He wants many things in return for agreeing to a cease-fire.

Politics of the souk.

Abbas is either a real dunderhead for not recognizing this, or this is just another thespian production for the benefit of the infidels.

#3 It was getting close to the time to retake Gaza and clean out the Iranian backed Hamas anyway.

#4 I vote for thespianism. An odd choice for a gentleman of Mr. Meshaal's age and putative character, but I try not to be judgemental in these situations. ;-)

#5 Take one square kilometer for each rocket fired, and vow to NEVER "give it back". Once they start firing rockets from Egyptian and Jordanian territory, tell the Egyptians and Jordanians the deal applies to them, as well. Screw Hezbollah - just push north until you reach the Litani, and annex everything south of there. Warn Syria that any military action OF ANY KIND against Israel will result in the nuclear destruction of Damascus and Baalbek, and keep that promise. Flush ALL Arabs - Christian, muslim, druse, pagan, etc. - from reclaimed territory. Get rid of all Arab Israelis the same way. First, of course, is retire Olmert to an isolated weather station somewhere in the Negev, so he can't screw anything ELSE up.

#6 I'd support your plan, Old Patriot.

Unfortunately the world we live in doesn't have the kind of balls in the leadership that that would require.

We can dream though....
