Olmert offered wide-ranging peace concessions to Palestinians on Monday if they turned away from violence.
...and their response, within two hours, was to fire more rockets at Sderot, violating the cease fire once again. Enough concessions! Enough with the kid gloves! Hamas made their intentions clear once again -- they mean to destroy Israel. Iran wants the same. The time now is for action, not talk, Mr. Prime Minister.

If Netanyahu was in charge, Iran would be reduced to rubble right about now.
To: anotherview
LOL. Olmert is WAY too much of a pu**y to even consider attacking Iran.

Olmert is a far leftist who is turning over israel's security to egypt, france and italy.
Olmert loves to talk big and do nothing.
He is a liberal.
He is the worst prime minister in the history of israel.
I am so sick of his stupid face.
To: anotherview
He could not rule out the possibility of a military attack against Iran Olmert might not rule out an attack but cold hard reality does.
Israel can't carry out a meaningful strike on Iran with out using nukes.

Two characteristics of liberalism that defines Olmert.
Talk big and do nothing instead of not talk and take action.
Flip flops all the time. He was against un in gaza now he is for it. The fool actually thinks the un will go after hamas there.
There are no checks and balances in israel. Olmert can do anything he wants. The opposition has no say.
Israel will be a far different country by the time olmert leaves in 8 years than the one it was before he came onto the scene.
Olmert finished 60th in a race for pm and had to have sharon jumpstart his career.
He is awful.
To: ASA Vet
Disregard Olmert he is a fraud.
He talks big to make people think he is strong on security.
He is really weak. He sells out israel's security while talking big.
Real leaders don't talk much and take action olmert is just the opposite.

All I want to know is did ElMort serve in Vietnam? He has the Kerry routine down pretty good, except for reminding everyone of his war record every two minutes.
I have every faith that ElMort will attack Iran. It will be timely but not just now. It will be severe but measured. It will be comprehensive but targeted. It will put an end to the Nuclear weapons desires of Iran, but will leave the peaceful development in place.
Blah, blah, blah, blay...
ElMort, let someone who's got a backbone give 'er a try.

Prime Minister Olmert spent his entire political career in Likud (the closest thing Israel has to the Republican Party) before following his mentor Ariel Sharon when Kadima was formed. He isn't a leftist or a liberal. Weak, yes, he's proven that. A liberal, no.
I just hope the Prime Minister surprises us. I think he is misunderestimated (sic.). The fact is that with 78 seats in the Knesset behind him Prime Minister Olmert isn't going anywhere. Rather pray for a sudden attack of wisdom, something he clearly has lacked up until now.

I appreciate the comments. I'm sure what you say is true. I'll have to admit to being less than impressed with the two previous Prime Minsters of Israel, and now ElMort.
Israel has gained very little for bowing to European and United States pressure in it's dealings with the Palestinians.
I still say that if the Palestinians had truly wanted a peaceful coexistence with Israel, it would have achieved it in 2000. Instead it chose the Intifada.
Those who wish to give land, make allowances and dream that peace is only one more concession away are absolute fools. The Palestinians haven't made guarantees. They make no bones about what they want in the long term, or if they do, it's transparent in the extreme.
Israel must resolve to have an iron clad foreign policy, that states it will destroy those who wish to destroy it. Anything less is to commit suicide. Israel is in the process of giving it's enemies the rope with which to hang it.
Well, at least that's the way I see it. Get Netanyahu back in there while there's still a nation left.

The time now is for action, not talk, Mr. Prime Minister.If Israelis intend to survive as a nation they must face up to the need to gird their loins for battle. It's life or death, as it always has been, hopes for some "peace process" notwithstanding. Israel must somehow revive the spirit of 1967.
To: monkapotamus
LOL - very fitting, monk. Hopefully, Israel will have a different Prime Minister when it's time to throw down - one with the b*lls to do what must be done to save the state from annihilation once the Iranians get their hands on a bomb and the means to deliver it.

Absolutely, it's all the Neanderthal/muzzies understand, overt force. Anything less, anything, is seen as a sign of weakness.Bomb the Shiite out of them.

Absolutely,the only hope Israel has is to blast the hell our of hamas or anyone who threatens them each and every time it happens. When they get struck strike back ten times more,then the idiots will get the picture.
And giving back terrorists for one Israeli is not too smart either, it only sets up a precedent for more of the same.
Israel is not respected by the Arabs, they will never be loved but need to be respected.
