#1 Golan is more valuable to Syria (more correctly, to the Assad regime) as a Israeli hostage than as a reintegrated part of sovereign Syrian soil. For one thing, it's full of Paleos.

#3 Maybe Nancy brought this little message to Pencilneck from Olmert during her recent junket to the ME.

#4 the eyes look deranged.

Before the war last year I thought Olmert was a schmart customer, but with a style that was purposefully slo and unflashy... holding his cards close so to speak.....but.... we waited.... and waited... for a great Springing of the Grand Trap on Hezbollah!

Olmert 'offers Golan Heights in peace deal'

This evening i think he's more like a autistic simpleton.

#5 Bull. Not to give too much credit to Olmert, but he must know that even trying will cost him the PM position.

#6 The Golan Heights rise from 400 to 1700 feet in the northeastern section of the country. Israel's highest mountain, Mt. Hermon, is located here. The plateau was once actively volcanic and the northernmost points remain weathered and desolate. The Golan overlooks the Hula Valley, Israel's richest agricultural area. The area of the Golan is roughly 38 miles long and varies in width from 9 to 16 miles (444 square miles). The Banyas River flows through the region and the Yarmuk River separates the Golan from Jordan.

By 1970 there were 12 Jewish settlements on the Golan Heights and in 2004 there were 34 settlements populated by around 18,000 people

#11 Give away strategic high ground that allows for devastating artillery shelling?

As the Israeli graffiti goes:

SHARON, WAKE UP, OLMERT IS IN A COMA!

It's difficult to imagine Olmert getting any stupider but this new development certainly puts the lie to that notion. This jerkoff seems ready to give even our own moron politicians a run for the money in the national suicide competition.

#13 Before Israel took the Golan Heights, Syria lobbed artillery on the settlements below. Olmert is brilliantly setting a "trip wire" so that Israel is justified in attacking Syria (although I shouldn't think they need much justification)??? His brilliance is overlooked for some reason. Must be the Lebanon thingee or that he is just kind of a dumb arse. Israel wil have no peace and no land. Israel has a lot of lefties as does the U.S. that don't seem to care much about survival. For example, Nancy Pelosi going to Syria to suck up to Assad.

#14 Look at the terms of the deal. "In return Israel wants Syria to end its support for Iran..." That's like Charley McCarthy to ignor Edgar Bergen. Maybe it's even like asking Geraldine to ignore Flip Wilson.

#15 How much is Syria paying this goof?
