#1 "because trading a thousand Paleo prisoners for one captured Israeli is Ok if done with Abbas, but not with Hamas, cuz they're....uh...different. They're icky"

#2 If *I* were Olmert, I'd promise 10,000 prisoners but set the condition that all three Israeli soldiers be set free FIRST, as a "good faith gesture". Then once the 3 soldiers are safe in Israel, renig on the whole deal and publicly taunt Hamas/Hezbollah as stupid trusting idiots.

But that's just me.

#3 All of the above.

Go ahead, trade prisoners just this once. Trade 1,000:1, who cares. Get Shalit, Goldwasser et al in safe keeping and then blow all 1,000 of the trades straight to eternal burning hell.

Next time there is a kidnapping or hostage taking, walk artillery through all of the "refugee camps" one block at a time while demanding the release of whomever has been captured.

The time of trusting these skyscraper-sized turds to do anything even remotely close to honorable has come to an end. One look at the endless prinking about over Hamas' recognition of Israel is answer enough.

#4 Israel went to war with the Hezbos over two kidnapped soldiers and eigth soldiers ambushed and killed.

Now, Olmert wants to pull a trade. Go figure?

The only reason Israeli soldiers are being kidnapped is to release 0000s of thugs, as bad a pattern as land for pieces

I'd do almost the same thing, except I'd release the corpses of the jihadis.
