Now that Bush and Rice have quit meddling with their

Hamas probably isn’t interested in dealing with Netanyahua.

That all depends on what the meaning of the word “truce” is.

The ONLY reason this is happening is that Hamas knows that if Netanyahu is Prime Minister they are toast.

18 months needed for re-armament, recruitment, and training of more genocidal terrorists.

Jimmy Carter said that Hamas could be believed and trusted. That must make it so. Jimmy learned everything he knows about negotiations from his great uncle, Neville Chamberlain.

One more thought, Jimmy Carter should be believed because he was the winner of the Noballs prize.
