Oligarchs like Omert who want Israel to cave in.

Olmert was not elected by any voters, and his power is the result of a judicial fiat based on an assumption that Sharon would recover quickly. You do not know Israeli law, but in the case of a PM becoming incapacitated, the acting PM must come from the party that was elected. Olmert (or "all merde") was 14th on the list of a party that never won a single election.

Olmert's views are not significantly different from Sharon's. In any case, is there any real doubt that Kadima will win the upcoming election?

As luck would have it, I received this in the e mail today:>>>>>Subject: Churchill& Olmert

Winston Churchill, June 4, 1940; speech before the House of Commons

"We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old."

Ehud Olmert; June 9, 2005; speech to Israel Policy Forum in New York.

"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Yep polar opposites indeed. Good observation.

That or the political powers that be stepped in because Sharon was not going fast enough for them or something to that effect ...they got a schedule to keep after all, as all good thieves do.
