excerpt

Olmert, who was a major force behind Israel's summer withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, has said he intends to pull Israeli settlers out of heavily populated Palestinian areas in the West Bank while fortifying major settlement blocs and holding on to the West Bank's Jordan River Valley. His original timetable had called for a pullback by 2010, but a top aide said last month that Israel planned to conclude the withdrawals by the end of U.S. President George W. Bush's second term in office, at the end of 2008.

Asked how long the withdrawal would take, Ramon judged that it would be possible to complete the process in 18 to 24 months.

They could give Hamas-loving Paliwhackers until the end of the millenium to end their killing, it's not going to happen. Any group willing to strap bombs to their kids cannot be negotiated with.

A proper solution....give them till the end of the week, then clean house!

" "Through the end of this year, 2006, there will be honest attempts to talk to the other side"

Procrastination, never solves a problem. Israel should act now.

"Hamas wasn't immediately available for comment, but even the cutoff of hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid and Israeli transfer payments hasn't been able to pressure it to renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist."

'Course not. They're getting funds and guns from elsewhere while their hospitals run out of medicine.

The twits in Israel are going to give the pallies land whether they cooperate or not. What incentive do the pallies have to talk to Israelis? It will all be theirs anyway. Its too bad Olmert cant see it either.

Israel, you are the most patient county in the world. You keep turning the other cheek and you get nothing in return. If you keep doing the same thing, you will continue to get the same results in hoping to reason with profoundly evil terrorists.
