Nu ?

In the Entebbe days, our boy would have been back by last Shabbat.
In Ben Gurion’s day, Hamas would have been flattened by now (see quote below).

So why is time a-wasting?
It’s the same IDF then and now.
The only logical explanation is that Olmert is holding them back.

The longer he waits, the greater the chance of world condemnation.
Which he holds to be so important.
So why doesn’t he just let the IDF get on with it?

Here's that BG quote:

"Let me first tell you one thing: It doesn't matter what the world says about Israel; it doesn't matter what they say about us anywhere else. The only thing that matters is that we can exist here on the land of our forefathers. And unless we show the Arabs that there is a high price to pay for murdering Jews, we won't survive." David Ben-Gurion's advice to Officer Ariel Sharon following the controversial and much-condemned raid on Qibya, as relayed by Ariel Sharon during an interview for the documentary "Israel and the Arabs: 50 Year War".
