Warning, Geulah speculation. That's "speculation", got it, spec-u-lation, "conjectural", "surmise", "contemplation".

Much of our past geulah speculation has indeed headed in the estimated direction, just consistently slower than anticipated. This is a great blessing, more time to absorb the situation and react appropriately. But it leaves enough time to second guess the situation and wonder if things really are happening...

- PM Olmert declares the Jews of Judea and Samaria will be evacuated to the Negev. (Before he leaves office? This would seem impossible.)

- IDF says it doesn't like plan to bring NATO troops into Judea and Samaria!!! New US security advisors recommend it. (What plan???)

- Pope-a-dope plans to visit Jerusalem in May, 2009.

The hints are there, we await their progress - only for the good!
