He's a carter hold out, what else would you expect that sorry ass to say.

FWIW, Israel has seen no terror events coming from the West Bank since day 3 of the incursion. The terrorists have lost several belt factories, countless weapons, and the military wing of Hamas in the West Bank is almost completely decimated. Jihad has lost significant amounts of its manpower strength and several leaders, while Al Aqsa is being hit hard as well.

If the first two weeks can bring this kind of success, imagine what we'll see in weeks 4-8. The conclusion of this event should culminate in the creation of a Palestinian state in Gaza, providing they keep the violence down in that region.

Gus, the only reason the middle east is important right now is oil. That reason is diminishing with the development of oil sands in Canada that have reserves vaster than anything in Saudi Arabia. Of course this oil will be too expensive for Europeans to import so you will be stuck with the middle east. I suggest you develop some creative solutions rather than U.S. intervention.
