First, something we can all agree on, that this clusterf&$% is Bush and Condi’s gift to the middle east.
You remember, first they insisted on elections in the territories, and then when Hamas won, because the PA is corrupt and incompetent at governing even by the standards of the Arab world, they proceeded to encourage Israel and the PLO to go after Hamas, which led to Hamas kicking the PLO out of Gaza, because the PLO is the worst army ever.

Also I have one report of a ground offensive starting, it’s an eyewitness account, but it has since been corrected to say that tanks are shelling from over the Green Line.
