Walid Phares believes the cease-fire will last but says don’t be surprised if there are rockets launched in the first few hours of the cease-fire. Egypt has guaranteed a cessation of rocket fire from Gaza and have made themselves accountable for it and because of that, Phares says, Morsi has become a king maker in the region and now can ask anything of the United States he wants.

So basically Phares is pointing out that Morsi allowed rockets to be smuggled into Gaza and then becomes the one who is responsible for keeping Hamas from launching rockets and thus becomes vital to ‘keeping the peace’. He gains a lot of leverage against the US, guaranteeing that we keep sending them money.

Have we just been played like a cheap fiddle?

Yeah, using the Chicago style "protection Racket" pay-off of $ Billions every year, they promise not to send rockets and bombs into schools and restaurants.

That'll teach 'em not to mess with the good old USA!

Like the unions, they'll want more next month.

We sure have some smart politicians, don't we?

Real victory alright. Israel lost five heroes and Gaza lost 150 terrorists. "It's only a flesh wound".

Morsi, the muslim brotherhood leader of Egypt is the big winner. His ability to bribe and blackmail the west has now been established and enhanced. He gets even more U$ taxpayer $$$,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$. His primary competitor to be the new leader of the new muslim world caliphate, the islamist (islamofascist) leader of Turkey just got left in the dust.

How long before he demands the release of the blind sheik terrorist?

Have we just been played like a cheap fiddle? SCOOP, I think you Nailed It! It is looking more and more like we have been played.

There has been saber rattling about cutting off their funding and now Morsi saves the day.

It also appeared Hamas also got to test using facebook and twitter as guidance system, along with multiple launch to overcome the Iron Dome.

This is why the US needs to stop sending money to Egypt. SCREW THEM! They are supplying weapons to the enemy.

I like the fact that Israel will still do what is necessary to protect itself...cease-fire or not.

Obama and HC gave Morsi the platform and microphone. they had better hope that doesn't blow up in their face but I think it will.

Four years time is awful long time for Muslim Brotherhood to behave.

He expects the hudna to last? Really? Way to think like a Westerner Walid. Oh and you might want to put down whatever the heck you're smoking.

We will know by some signature concessions (see Revelation), that we are in the 7 year Tribulation when a peace treaty is signed between Palestine, Israel, the UN and the US.

I personally think that the treaty that is being pushed for Israel to sign by December 2012 will not be signed until after WW111. I think Israel and the world will be so tired of war that is said to end up killing 1/3 of the world population, that they will be very motivated to sign the peace treaty described in Revelation.

So even though, we are hearing about cease-fires and treaties, I seriously doubt that they will lead to the peace treaty that brings the 7 year Tribulation.

I only hope that nobody is going to praise Hillary for this "pseudo" negotiation as she is friends with Morsi and both knew exactly what they were talking about: taxpayer money from the U.S. for the Muslim Brotherhood. Once again people had to die and Israel got the blame. So, Hillary the game is over....... come back home.......and tell us something about Benghazi.........and how much blood you have in your hands!

You also recall at Benghazi that witnesses heard the miltants saying "Don't shoot, we're from Morsi". This whole business stinks to high, high heaven.

Never try to reach a bargain with an arab. With Obama and Clinton, you may as well stay home they are so very much out of their league. These people literally invented bargaining and haggling roughly 3,000 years ago. And Obama and Clinton are going to out-bargain them? Please, give me a break. Stay home. Given everything Israel needs for its defense and let the Israelis bargain with the arabs. They seem to have the stomach for it. I certainly don't.

Right. The Hebrews are good negotiators too. They could Jew the Arabs down, or blast the Ishmael out of 'em..

"Walid Phares believes the cease-fire will last but says don’t be surprised if there are rockets launched in the first few hours of the cease-fire".

That's about the most idiotic line of double talk I've ever heard. This guy has been hanging around with Obama too long.

Well, we and Israel have been played by the bunch in Washington and the terrorist in Egypt. I expected nothing better than this, and I knew from minute one that we would be tricked into some silly ceasefire that means absolutely nothing. I'd love to know what this cost us in American dollars to Egypt and "Palestine". Billions and billions. Flushed down the toilet, just so that our president can look good before his next stupid inauguration. Yes, I'm cynical - so much so, that I believe Obama would blow up the state of Texas if it meant he would come out looking good. Real people are dying, and the heads of state are playing chess. I'm just surprised that Netanyahu signed on to this. Money and weapons from the U.S. are one thing, but the future of his country is at stake.

Cheap fiddle. That says it all right there Scoop. Mr. Phares is one to listen to. Dear leader has been working for his brotherhood, and now all look good to the world, but Israel gets s#*@ed again.

Egypt, Turkey and many of those Muslim nations over there are NOT our friends. Defund them NOW!

Things would be different if we didn't have a child on the thrown who also seems to be a Muslim sympathizer.

The wrath of God will be terrible.
