These headlines seem to come right out of fortune cookies.  An editor needs one; snaps his fingers.  And, whalla.  Abbas is ineffective, again.And, going round in circles, continues.Meanwhile, what&#039;s this with Talansky&#039;s &quot;envelopes?&quot;I read Arik Sharon&#039;s WARRIOR.  In it he describes trips to America.  Where he spoke (usually on the East Coast), to Jews who loved Israel.  And, yes.  He&#039;d be given &quot;envelopes.&quot;In one case, though, a man suggested he come to LA.  Which cost him thousands of dollars.  To speak to West Coast Jews.  Where, alas, he got only one envelope.  Which he put inside his jacket pocket.  He was so curious!  Dreaming that he was carrying around thousands.  But back in his hotel room, when he opened the envelope, all it contained was one check for $25.Something stinks when you can assassinate a prime minister you don&#039;t like:  Rabin.  And, you can collude with the media to try and take down Olmert.  Since his ideas aren&#039;t particularly popular.  Nor, in reality, are they workable.  Still?  They&#039;re good for tourism.  And, Bush has been willing to play with Olmert, without finger-flapping and pushing Israel around.  (At least the &quot;pushing&quot; is either inneffective, or just doesn&#039;t work at all.)So, today, it&#039;s pointed out yet again that Abbas isn&#039;t going to come through.  And, given to reading &quot;between the lines,&quot; it seems obvious that Abbas is &quot;angry about something.&quot;The real deal?  Abbas keeps waiting for the IDF to move against gaza.  Because, here, he knows Israel can really kill off hamas. But they can&#039;t &quot;keep the territory.&quot;  So after sacrificing troops, the &quot;yarisha&quot; goes to Abbas.But Abbas seems to think this won&#039;t happen.Hmm?Now why would Ehud Barak send in troops to gaza?  It&#039;s all downside.  While tourism thrives in Israel.  And, yes.  You can kill the head of the snake.  One by one.  With a small missile (maybe, weighing 3.5 pounds); carefully aimed at a traveling car.  Hmm?  When a car travels you can measure speed.  Until?  Well, you get to see a CAR SWARM.  Those Palestinians haven&#039;t learned yet, that the drone&#039;s sound isn&#039;t a Bumble Bee?The monsters at the top aren&#039;t worried about survival?  You think they count on the Jerusalem Post, and other fishwrap, to ease their worries?  I think not.What I have noticed, though, is that those &quot;Friday prayer rug shots,&quot; with Abbas giving a stare into his hands, have all but stopped.  How did somethiung so &quot;religious&quot; fall out of favor?  (Okay.  Abbas is afraid to show up in gaza.  And, the pictures of him praying, and/or sitting on the floor, used to come from there.)Now?  He quits!  He farts.  And, Bush bombed, by the way.Good luck to Olmert.  Sure.  Talansky is &quot;left field.&quot;  But a Likudnik who can&#039;t stand it that the public hasn&#039;t given Bibi a &quot;mandate.&quot;  Not yet.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does it matter?
