Hamas: Abbas' illigitimate rule -Ibrahim Barzak
Hamas will cease to recognize Mahmoud Abbas as Palestinian president after Jan. 8 and replace him with one of its own leaders, according to a resolution approved by the Islamic movement's legislators.
If Hamas does withdraw recognition from Abbas, it would sever another link between the two sides and also undermine Abbas' legitimacy in the eyes of many Palestinians.

Not that Abbas was doing much good, nevertheless, this would seem to ring the death knell for peace in the MidEast in any near term.
But no one is holding the funeral.
W. Bush and Rice will; this was their only shot at a legacy not completely filled with disaster.
