Hamas not done yet A cease-fire may have been called on Israel’s end, but Hamas is standing strong. “A unilateral ceasefire does not mean ending the aggression and ending the siege,” said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum. “These constitute acts of war and so this will not mean an end to resistance.” source

22%? That’s it? George W. Bush goes down as having the lowest final approval rating of any president in the last 70 years, when they first started polling.
