#1 Concessions: Maybe turn the water and electricity on and bury the dead--only maybe if they play nice. Snark, snark.

#2 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert plans to ask the cabinet Monday to free hundreds of Palestinian Authority terrorists in Israeli jails before the summit. It appears that the Prime Minister will release between 400 and 500 more terrorists.

Idiot! You free prisoners in exchange for something not as a gesture before the fact. Quid pro effing quo, Olmert. Got it?

Lt.-Col. (Res.) Meir Indor, Director of the Terror Victims Association, is not optimistic that freedom for terrorists will mean PA compliance with Step One of the Road Map, which calls for a total end to terrorism against the Jewish State.

Which will never happen no matter how many alphabet soup proxies the Palestinians have to invent so they can retain plausible deniability.

"We saw recently in the case of the PA terrorists who were plotting to kill Prime Minister Olmert,that the PA set them free a few days later. The PA doesn't view terrorists as law breakers. Their arrests are meaningless," he pointed out.

Which all points to how releasing any of these thugs is a really, really bad idea.

Why is it that this world remains perpetually blind to how Arabs continually issue demands without ever making even marginal concessions themselves? It's like playing cards with someone who refuses to ante up but still insists that you must do so.
