You know, that's very poor sportsmanship. You should just admit you misread him. I have read NOTHING which indicates he had to be forced into any of his actions.

A lot of people probably thought George Bush was a weenie, too. Do you think he had to be forced into responding to September 11?

Last weeks security council meeting where Olmert said he wasn't expanding ground ops despite the IDF's objections otherwise. Unless that was purposefully leaked for disinformation purposes, i'd say he was pressured into this move. Its bad form to publish discention among the ranks during wartime, so if it made the press it was likely ugly in that security council meeting
