I hope you are right about Condi calling their bluff and knowing the Palies are going to fold...seems like she has tried that before and now Hamas is in control of Gaza and Olmert is under her thumb....not sure what she has accomplished in the SoS, with Korea, Syria, Lebanon, etc, come to mind!
Ariel Sharon made the decision to withdraw from Gaza. After that was done, Hamas attacked Fatah and drove them out of Gaza or killed most of them. Bush supported Sharon’s original decision. Just a few inconvenient facts.
