File under: Hamas

#1 Maybe now we will find out of Shalit is actually alive. I'm still betting not.

Amusing that one Jew is worth 230 Arabs.

#2 These folks are total idiots, make them produce Shalit BEFORE anyone at all is "Released."

#3 No doubt once the 230 are released Ham-Ass will find some trivial reason to refuse to release Shalit -- all with the U.N.'s Blessing as they blame Israel...

Has Hamas ever, in it's entire existance, fulfilled even one of its obligations?

#4 I'm betting he's dead as well. Make the offer contingent on him being alive and well. Perhaps a condition that the 230 will be turned over in the same condition Shalit is in?

#5 sad but he prob is dead, if they do realease any of the prisoners lets hope they "tagged"them before hand. so as too folow them up and see where they go

That should be understood.

Sadly, it won't be.

My feeling is that if the exchange occurs and Shalit is dead, Hamas's leaders will follow him into the grave shortly afterwards.

#8 The should wipe Hamas out of existence anyway. Failing to do so is a massive failure on the part of Israel.

#9 A better trade would be to let Hamas shoot Shalit in exchange for not complaining when Israel shoots those 230 prisoners.

Rinse and repeat. See how long Hamas stays excited about kidnapping.
