« Whatever | Main | Mere Rhetoric Prepares to Read About Disengagement »

Boooo

What the hell is he thinking:

Israel's upcoming pullout from the Gaza Strip is not a "trade-off" for keeping the West Bank, and the government is ready to resume negotiations with the Palestinians after the unilateral withdrawal based on the internationally backed 'road map' peace plan, Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Wednesday.

Lynn-B - totally justifiably, we might add - is in an I told you so mood. Because, well, she told us so. Repeatedly.
Our support for disengagement is predicated on two things: (1) the inevitability of Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and (2) the possibility that Sharon might be able to trade Gaza for parts of the West Bank. Now that the Israeli government has out-right denied the latter, we sincerely hope that they don't come out tomorrow and say something like "really, we don't have to withdraw - we just kind of want to".
