I've Been Thinking:

Khaled Mashaal, the true leader of Hamas, is going to visit Jordan this week.

Until now Mashaal has not been permitted to even enter Jordan.
Now he has agreed to abide by the terms set down by the Jordanians.
One of those terms is the promise not to foment hatred against Abdullah, King of Jordan.

What does Mashaal get out of this visit?
Mashaal will have official meetings with government figures and with intelligence officials.

What do the Jordanians get out of this visit?
The Jordanians will have the opportunity to truly assess the vision, objectives and capabilities of Hamas in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Gaza and the West Bank.
That information is crucially important.
That information will not be easy to exact because Mashaal knows exactly what the Jordanians want.

Hamas does not operate like other organizations - that point must be made perfectly clear.
Hamas has no day-to-day plan and Hamas has no short term plan.
What Hamas does have is a long term objective.
Hamas has nothing in between.
