Something has to happen

soon to stop the killing. If

Hamas thinks they are winning

they have a perverted sense of

what victory is.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert stood within Hamas rocket range Monday and warned Islamic militants that they face an "iron fist" unless they agree to Israeli terms for an end to war in the Gaza Strip. Hamas showed no signs of wavering, however, with its leader, Ismail Haniyeh, saying the militants were "closer to victory."

Despite the tough words, Egypt said it was making slow progress in brokering a truce, and special Mideast envoy Tony Blair said elements were in place for a cease-fire.

Those living in exile or in bunkers have no problem making others martyrs, including Hamas foot soldiers and civilians.  Indeed, they are perverted.

They do seem to want to be safe while sending others out to fight.

You may want to check further,  I have found 5 or 6 blanks from him on my stories.  I hoped a response might get him to actually say something.
