Hamas does have a plan that is long term, they want more Grads, they want world opinion to pressure Israel and they want the ability to continue to fire rockets at a time of their own choosing. Hamas has acheived its goals. Olmert, of course, still has it wrong, allowing a convoy of food and medicine, electricity and fuel only allows hamas to continue warfare. Going to the courts in time of war for permission to target rocket crews from wherever thay are is insane. The rocket crews of hamas have no hesitation about trying to kill as many Israelis as possible. Hamas does not care about a few casualties; and as nuts as they are, blood, money, misery mean nothing-they have rockets. Israel needs to finish hamas off, not feed them.
