Sure...you pick first!!

Olmert is pulling the same stuff as he did with the "ceasefire" from Lebanon...it doesn't get him brownie points with the terrorists, that is for sure.

Palestinian gunmen fired a Qassam rocket from the northern Gaza Strip into Israel Friday morning, the thirteenth in two days.



The rocket landed in an open area near Sderot. No one was wounded and no damage was caused. (Shmulik Hadad)

And Bibi is not happy!

Netanyahu Says Olmert is 'Tired and Passive'
07:01 Dec 22, '06 / 1 Tevet 5767

(IsraelNN.com) Likud chairman and former Prime Minister Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu told a Likud gathering Thursday night that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is tired. "A leader needs to be an active authority, not a passive one [of] restraint and inaction," Netanyahu asserted.

The Likud Knesset Member called on the Prime Minister to "free the IDF's hands" and resume counter-terrorist operations. "It is not the nation that is tired. Olmert is tired. There is only one thing worse than a nation that has lost faith in its leaders, and that is leaders who have lost faith in their nation," he added.

IsraelNN.com) The IDF spotted rocket launching cells firing on Israel Thursday but held fire in line with the government's policy of restraint, WorldNetDaily reported Friday. Several Kassams were fired shortly after the citing, two of the weapons exploding in Sderot and causing damage to a community center and one landing near Ashkelon, a port city and home to oil and gas pipelines and a large electric generating station.

"We are frustrated just watching the rocket launchers being set up. There is nothing we are allowed to do," a military source told WorldNetDaily. "So far we've been lucky, but soon one of the rockets will kill someone and then questions should be asked about why we were not allowed to do anything."

Something's going to have to give soon. Olmert cannot keep protecting Abbas when so many people are angry that nothing is being done.

Australia warns of terrorist risk in Indonesia at Christmas

Published: 12.22.06, 07:40

The Australian government has information that "possible specific terrorist attacks" are being planned around Christmas in Indonesia, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Friday.



He did not give any details of potential specific attacks, but said churches and other places had been targeted in the past during Christmas time in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation. "There have in the past been terrorist attacks, particularly on churches and on other religious institutions, during Christmas," Downer said. (AP)

Is Olmert getting ready to blink?


08:15 Cabinet to meet next week to decide whether to continue cease-fire (Israel Radio)

(from the news clips I've been seeing, I think most of the cabinet is ready to pounce on the rocket launchers starting yesterday, although I don't think they're ready to send in troops in the numbers they did before the cease fire, but I'm guessing.)
