#1 Par for the course in much liberal civilian leadership.

#2 This is what would have played out if Igor had been Prez on 9/11. The Taliban and Al Qaeda would still be in power in Afghanistan and god only knows what more terrorist acts would have been directly carried out against Americans in their homeland while we all awaited the next non-event at the UN.

#3 Don't see this as a crisis. Israelis know they've been hosed and will find good leadership. Their lives depend upon it.

#4 I recognize that plan from someplace a few weeks back...

All that aside, if we can come up with it here on the Burg, Israel has no excuses, but only blame to apportion. If Olmert were given this plan and an army ready to execute it, and he then turned it down for the piece-meal crap he put into operation, then Olmert deserves to be bundled up and dropped into the middle of Teheran. He deserves to stay with them more than with the nation he is supposed to, but faield to, defend well.

#5 They needed and need a national coalition.

#6 I'm wondering if Olmert and the IDF strategy is to let the Hezbugs filter back in, let the kak begin again.... then hit them on the rebound.

#7 I hope to God so, Besoeker. The alternative is that they haven't any plan, and then we have to pray that Bibi gets elected really, really soon.

#8 It seems that Olmert didn't want a victory.

Olmert loves defeat: so, Israelis, make him happy, defeat him in the next elections.
