Yousseff Ibrahim sees the situation correctly. If Bush and Olmert focus on the fortunes of Abbas' they will be escaping the major problem i.e. Hamas takeover in Gaza. For Bush this is just one front in the global -war on terror, but for Israel is the backdoor. Israel must find the way to prevent Hamas from having any kind of military option against it.
