BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.15 post the following, " Hamas says the four-day pause in fighting between it and Israel in Gaza, announced overnight, will begin at 10am on Thursday "
Lets Get Real:
Call this blog cynical, we shall see if the terrorists keep to the pause, after they have gotten their people back, they know that each hostage will be worth more, and thus will want more. Talking to terrorist groups or States never ends well, just ask Jimmy Carter, after American hostages were kept for 444 days, and only released after Ronald Reagan become President. President Reagan had Iran - Contra, he got through it, but his polls were hit for a while. It should be Western policy NEVER to talk to terrorists, they will ask for something you cannot give. It's an open invitation to take Western hostages and exchange them for something, with Reagan it was arms, the funds for them went to help the Contra freedom fighters, thus Iran - Contra. Let's see how long the truce lasts and who starts firing first.
