FOX NEWS ^ | Jan 14, 2009 | FOX NEWS

[Islander7]

No details, reported on Fox

[edcoil]

Need time to reload?

[Pox]

Now is the time to finish them off if they’re squealing for an ‘unconditional’ cease fire, IMO.

[Unlikely Hero]

Agreeing to a ceasefire is one thing; them living up to it when it’s no longer convenient is another

[VR-21]

In other words...”we need time to re-arm and re-group.”

[Vigilanteman]

But they're crossing their fingers, so it just means they've agreed to holler uncle for now until they have time to rearm.

[slumber1]

This means they want the IDF to stop attacking them until they can regain their strength - then the rockets and mortars against Southern Israel will resume

[mrs tiggywinkle]

UNconditional?! Hm.

[r9etb]

Not sure what an “unconditional ceasefire” actually means — is it a surrender? Do the IDF get to confiscate their weapons? Do the IDF occupy the entire region?

[dirtboy]

Need time to reload?

My thought exactly.

[thecabal]

They have a specific word for it: hudna.

[Badeye]

Tells me the Israeli’s are winning, Big Time.

I hope they don’t let up, because if they do we will be watching this play out once again within 18 months, tops.

[thefactor]

this will only hinder israel. it will give hamas more time to re-arm. but israel will have no choice.

[agere_contra]

Not interested in “unconditional cease fire”.

Unconditional surrender, on the other hand.

[tioga]

so they can regroup.....until Obama comes into office.

[marron]

Hamas leaders who have left the country should be denied reentry.

[Sig Sauer P220]

The surest cease fire is to kill them all dead.

[Dallas59]

Unconditional for about 24 hours.

[Abathar]

Time out!

[tioga]

Exactly right! Let them surrender.

[romanesq]

Yes but has Iran and the Hamas “leadership” signed off. Otherwise it’s a ruse.
Iran was threatening to pull the plug on the monies to Hamas if they did agree to the Egyptian ceasefire plan.

So let’s wait and see. Besides, have the Israelis reached their objectives? We don’t know.

[Carry_Okie]

How many rockets fell on Ashkelon and S'derot during the last "cease fire;" wasn't it about 7,500?

[TChris]

Israel must reject this and finish them off. It will only give them time to regroup and re-arm.

[ClearCase_guy]

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't grasp the concept of an unconditional cease-fire.

Unconditional surrender? Sure, that makes a lot of sense.
Unconditional cease-fire? "Uhhhhh, we will stop shooting but we haven't lost -- OK?" What kind of concept is that?

[cripplecreek]

I’m sure a Hamas declaration of victory will be forthcoming soon. (Yeah I’ve seen this movie before)

[svcw]

FOX news can be so funny sometimes.

[avacado]

"HAMAS AGREES TO UNCONDITIONAL CEASEFIRE"

All 2 of them left agree to this?

[Rennes Templar]

Theyr’e getting their butts kicked, that’s why they’re stopping. But oh those evil, merciless Israelis, how could they do this?

[theDentist]

They need time to see who is left to promote into leadership roles. Ought to be done and promotions effective by Saturday. See you then!

[Lurker]

Fine. The conditions are as follows:

Every hamas member reports to the first available IDF patrol unarmed with his or her hands up.

hamas disbands as an organization.

Pvt. Shalit is released immediately.

All rockets, mortars, bombs, guns, ammunition, knives, pointy sticks, etc possessed by hamas members or any of their designees are turned over to the IDF immediately.

That'll do for a start.

If these conditions are not agreed to publicly, in writing in Arabid-no ceasefire.

[Uncle Ike]

“But Bullwinkle — that trick *never* works!”

[Enterprise]

LOL - out of ammo?

[kc8ukw]

Do they mean it, I wonder? Or are they just trying to give the international community one more way to criticize Israel, assuming they continue the operation?

[F15Eagle]

Yep, ‘cuz they’re just going to come back and their charter is to destroy Israel.

[Dallas59]

What does Iran have to say about this?

[Captain Rhino]

Agree. With these types, just surviving is reason to declare victory. Hamas needs to be destroyed utterly.

[PowderMonkey]

"Not sure what an “unconditional ceasefire” actually means."

They obviously don't know either. "Agreeing" to an unconditional cease fire only applies if your opponent has offered one. The Israelis haven't.

[McGruff]

To misquote Sen. McCain,

"bombs has consequences".

[The Anti-One]

Cease what? Guys. Did you hear something?

[LibWhacker]

Not good enough. Lol, they think Israel is as big a bunch of fools as they themselves are. Keep killing them, Israel!

[RobFromGa]

must be out of rockets... need time to reload...

if Israel goes along with this, it should be with the understanding that a single mortar fired under the cease-fire will unleash hell...

[rickylc]

Won’t work, they said “unconditional” which means Israel doesn’t get to set any conditions.

Hoping Israel insists on very specific conditions.

[The Anti-One]

ROTFLMAO @

Priceless! HA HA HA HA HA....

[lady lawyer]

No ceasefire, just complete and abject surrender.

[chemical_boy]

If true, there will be an multinational international force in gaza, like there should have been from the very beginning.

[misanthrope]

Nothing short of unconditional surrender.

[Grunthor]

“BREAKING ON FOX: HAMAS AGREES TO UNCONDITIONAL CEASEFIRE”

Keep bombing, keep firing. Never trust a jawa.

Out of ammo?
And the UN can’t get through with their paychecks, either.

[MrB]

Hmmm... unconditional, eh?

OK, sign this treaty stating that the Israeli state is a legitimate entity and will be recognized as such, and that any rocket attack from a Hamas controlled area will be deemed to be an authorization for complete extermination of ever member of Hamas.

There ya go.

[Joiseydude]

They have a specific word for it: hudna.

EXACTLY!
