"BiBi's the man!"

Actually it's Olmert. Bibi's just being his usual self. Olmert is the equivalent of FDR in that country, in the sense that he is fighting for its survival and to heck with the media and others (as witnessed by the attack last night).

But Olmert is better than FDR. He's not interested in being a dictator (i.e., great society), at least not now. He's determined to kick some butt. He was elected as dove - saw a threat - and has been kicking butt. Remember, 2 Israeli's were kidnapped - that's all, and look where he is now. There wasn't a 2-front attack like 1973, just a couple of hostages - they were meant to be bargaining chips by the Hezbos - so as to get their terrorists back from Israel. The last thing the Hezbos wanted was a war, they were not quite ready yet.

Compare it to Jimmy Carter with Iran, or even Reagan with Lebanon. Israel has shown guts. Olmert has class, thanking Bibi - something a Dem could never do. And Bibi has been his usual kick-butt self, putting his country first (something Dems have NEVER been able to do in the US), and worrying about politics later.

I am so glad to see lots of pro Netanyahu posts here this morning. I've always held him in high respect and feel that he is one of the greatest Israeli leaders ever.

If the second news report is true after reading the first news story concerning the 140+ Iranian rockets slamming into Israel, Mr. Olmert is not the best leadership while Israel is fighting for her survival.

No truce with the murderers of the Jewish people.
