On another thread, when I expressed my disgust at Israel's apparent complete capitulation to terrorism, another poster said that this is actually a brilliant move to shore up their line of defense before attacking Iran (the settlers in Gaza would be too poorly defended in the event of a counterattack). Does that theory hold water with anyone else?

I hope a group of crazed gunmen don't start firing into the air so the bullets fall down and kill a large number of the celebrants. That would be too bad.

"The impoverished Palestinian leadership will spend more than $2 million on the spectacle.."

Wonderful.

Well, if it is limited to ululating, then it could be worse than that.

Their last "carnival of victory" was on September 11th.

I have not forgotten, nor forgiven them.

You can't win the hearts and minds of the heartless and the mindless...

Logically speaking, it could very well be the only reason Sharon agreed to withdraw from Gaza.

Makes perfect sense. If Hamas attacks with rockets from Gaza there are will be no Israelis in the way of a massive IDF response.
