Analysis: Hamas desperate for lull, but wants to show some type of 'victory'

Let's see...how long ago was it that Hamas was aggressively shouting to the world that the truce with Israel was over? Three weeks or so? What a sweet turnaround...

[Dallas59]

If the Israelis’ accept any “truce” with Hamas...that’s a Hamas viceroy.

"The gunmen on the streets are now in charge," he noted. "This is a dangerous situation, because they don't report to anyone at the top. This has created a state of anarchy and confusion."

Someone actually said this...

Analysis: Hamas desperate for lull, but wants to show some type of 'victory'

In other words, the cowardly terrorists do not want to face justice: extermination.

[webschooner]

Hamas said before Israel invaded that “it would be a cemetary” for the Israelis.

So, like towelhead tunneling rocket scientist dewds, like when does that happen?

"Hamas desperate for lull, but wants to show some type of 'victory'."

B.S. If Hamas is on the ropes, Israel must pursue total victory, meaning total defeat for Hamas. Then the moderates in Gaza can finally have a chance of getting their voices heard without being summarily executed.

Democrat leaning Israel supporting Jews unhappy with Bush, and thinking of McCain but terrified of Palin as a conservative Christian voted for Obama in droves(77% of Jews). Israel is the spike that breaks the democrat party apart. Where is the know-it-all Biden on this conflict? Is he banned from Meet the Press by Obama ,after years of being a guest and monthly second guessing Bush for not solving the conflict. Democrats need our support on both sides:

Logon DU and tell our liberal peace-loving Bush hating brothers and sisters that you are outraged at the terrible unprovoked atrocities by Israel

Democratic Underground :Moderate American Jews Need to Take Back the “Israel Lobby”

Contact DEMOCRATS FOR ISRAEL LOS ANGELES and tell them you are concerned that the head of our party (Obama) has not shown his outrage and demanded the immediate halting of criminal terrorist activities by Hamas on Isreal(after all look at the name) :

Gee. I thought Hamas said Gaza would become a “graveyard” for the IDF.

Maybe Hamas can call on the man they supported for the US presidency: B. Hussein Obama.

Keep up the good work, Israel. Show the world how terrorists should be eliminated.

“The analyst said that according to his sources, the embattled Hamas leaders... “

Is he talking the dead ones or those about to die?

So help me Israel better not stop now. I say its time for the genocide of all Hamas members!!!

Give’em a taste of their own medicine.

conflicting messages... reflected the state of confusion in Hamas and raised questions as to who was calling the shots in the Gaza Strip. While some Hamas leaders have been openly signaling their readiness to accept a new cease-fire, others are still calling for pursuing the fight against Israel "until victory." ...Hamas can't accept a new cease-fire without having proved to the Arab and Muslim masses that it was capable of making Israel pay a heavy price for its military offensive... its leaders know that their collapse would constitute a severe blow not only to the movement, but also to its patrons in Teheran and Damascus... "Hamas's political leaders have disappeared after throwing away their mobile phones. No one knows exactly what Hamas wants." ...embattled Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip were no longer in direct contact with their colleagues in Syria... the decision to dispatch two senior Hamas envoys to Cairo for talks about a cease-fire came as a surprise to the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip. The two envoys are based in Damascus and report directly to Khaled Mashaal... the political leadership of Hamas has given the movement's armed wing, Izaddin al-Kassam, full freedom to take any measures it deems necessary to prevent the collapse of the Hamas regime... the general feeling was that Hamas does not exist any longer as a governing body... the Hamas leaders in the Gaza Strip have virtually vanished, the armed wing was receiving its instructions from the movement's leadership in Syria... Mashaal, the Damascus-based leader of Hamas, was in direct contact with commanders of Izzadin Kassam in different parts of the Gaza Strip.
