Actually if the US has to move in to Gaza because it is/has become a place that harbors terrorists of the Al Qaeda variety, then PM Sharon will have proven the worth of Disengagement.
Have you ever seen the movie "The Mouse that Roared?"

I am more cruel. Once Gaza is isolated from Israel, drop a nice strain of Ebola on the ground during a HAMAS rally.

could also attack the United States. Americans tend to not have a very high bull$#!+ tolerance. No Muslim would be able to leave their house for the next 50 years.

The timing of this announcement seems to be VERY suspicious, coming so close to the planned pull out from Gaza. Having Al-Qaeda in Gaza would be the perfect cause to make the Israelis stay.
It makes no sense for Al Qaeda to issue such a message like this? If they had established a base in the Gaza Strip, why would they risk their foothold by making an announcement that could make the Israelis stay in Gaza.
The timing is so close to the pullout from Gaza it can't be coincidental. Whoever is behind this for some reason probably doesn't want the withdrawal to go through for some reason- it's probably best for Sharon to go ahead with the withdrawal plan.

Al Qaeda already had a sister org in Gaza, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and a cousin, Hamas.
The Muslim Brotherhood (Jama'at al-ikhwan al-muslimin) spawned a number of terrorist organizations including Egyptian Islamic Jihad (Al-Jihad). Al-Jihad went international, forming a subsidiary in "Palestine", which for a time was run out of Florida. Palestinian Jihad has since effectively merged with another break away from the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
In the 1990's, Al Jihad, run by Ayman Al Zawahiri since 1991, broke with Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, the rival Egyptian Islamist group formed from the Brotherhood. Zawahiri's Islamic Jihad joined with Pakistani and Afghani Salafists and the remains of Sheik Azzam's MAK under the nominial control of Osama Bin Laden. While Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda in 1988, it was not until this merger that it became a major international threat.

I disagree. This is the best reason for Israel to leave Gaza.
