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.
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
I think it more likely that it was disinformation. However, we will just have to wait and see. I would point out to you, however, that the Israelis don't do a bunch of leaking, unlike the American government, particularly the STATE department.
