Man, I am fuming here. First, I could wring the neck of the head of Hamas for gloating over what he perceives as a victory as Israel withdrew from Gaza. Second, I'm pissed off at Israel's Olmert for caving in and withdrawing due to U.S. "pressure." And thirdly, I'm the MOST pissed off at Secretary of State Condi Rice and her deluded dream of some sort of Middle East peace agreement - for her to stick her goddamn nose into Israel's business of retribution and defense of its people in the name of "peace" , is simply absurd. I don't know what happened to Rice along the way but apparently she entered the same brain washing chamber the jihadists used on Jimmy Carter.
Okay, with that off my chest, here's what the puke, the scum, the misfit of a head of Hamas said today:
And just to make it all worse, Hamas launches more missiles into southern Israel just after the troops completed the withdrawl. Israel is obviously heeding Rice's call for this and one Israeli official has conceded that they are doing this for "two days" in response to Rice's visit.
So here's the deal I'd propose if I'm Prime Minister of Israel. I have Condi Rice come in for her talks BUT we meet in Sderot, Israel. We meet in an unprotected building with no helmets or vests on. And if U.S. Secret Service or State Department personnel say that the meeting locale does not meet the security requirements for the Secretary of State, then I , as Israeli PM, simply say, "Okay, I've made my point and we are going back into Gaza - immediately."
And Israel should be back in there now, Rice visit or no Rice visit. This isn't some damn game of politics or chess, this is war.

Hamas claims Gaza "victory" as Israel pulls back
GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas declared victory after Israeli troops pulled out of the Gaza Strip on Monday following a U.S. appeal to end days of fighting that killed more than 100 Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said despite the culmination of the five-day operation, in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, Israel would take further action in the Gaza Strip until cross-border rocket fire was cut significantly.
The withdrawal came in time for a two-day visit, beginning on Tuesday, by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a driving force behind peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that have so far shown little progress.
"The blood of Gaza's children has achieved victory and occupation will be removed," Hamas's Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement.
Hamas, which seized the Gaza Strip from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction in June, vowed to continue firing rockets into Israel. It launched one into the main southern city of Ashkelon shortly after the troops withdrew, wounding one person.
"We are not willing to show tolerance, period. We will respond," Olmert said in broadcast remarks.
A senior Israeli official said, however, there would be a "two-day interval" for Rice's visit.
Israel had been under pressure from its allies in Washington to halt the violence after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas suspended U.S.-backed peace talks in protest at the bloodshed.
