"You know well as I that this withdrawal from the West Bank is premature. That some Pallie killers and terror mongers will escape the reach of the IDF. Israel really needs two more weeks to clean up this mess. "

Maybe, but you have to go back a couple weeks and Israel said they need two weeks and we're close to that now. Bush and Sharon made this plan when Sharon was in the US last month.

Last week their defense minister said they said they needed 4-6 weeks and two days ago on Fox they were saying 2 weeks per town X 160 so you see it can go on for years. This ain't gonna happen no matter how much rope the US gives them.

They will enter another phase next week and this is where Bush will have to stay tough. I think by Rice's comments a few days ago where she said "The Bush Plan" takes priority on terrorism will mean Yasser will have to act or he's toast !

I wish. But the toaster is being maxed out in Afghanistan.

Not trying to mess with you but I don't remember this two weeks you talk about. Not at all. But could be true. My own feeling is events take on a life of their own....And this is what has happened with Israel's massive incursion into the West Bank. This has TREMENDOUS support within Israel and is a real morale booster. 
Something that really should have been done a year ago or more.
