a point you made just before the break, the palestinians have said that they're prepared to bring hamas into government. could you ever imagine any kind of workable administration with hamas? >> can you imagine a peace deal with al qaeda? of course not. hamas has a constitution. if it tore it up and the constitution calls for the annihilation of israel. if they got rid of that, yes. if they stopped firing rockets or importing rockets to launch on our cities as we just intercepted some iranian rockets yesterday that were intended for hamas. if they stopped terrorism, if they stopped calling for eradication, yes, of course we'll be happy to talk to them. but hamas has not stopped being hamas. they continue to call for liquidation. so what am i going to negotiate with them, the method of them exterminating us? of course not. any country would take a stand
