I'm hanging in there with you, DCP, but just by a (this) thread. We haven't heard yet if or how the orders for IDF have changed. Whether Olmert is truly the twinkie he appears to be or adapting to changes, I do not know, but he is the lightning rod now for all who wish to see an Israeli victory, and he has lost trust and faith.
I cannot believe Israel is going to back off. I have to believe this is not over. Not by a long shot.
