"He was for it before he was against it."

Unfortunately this is what passes for a statesmanship nowadays.

LOL!!!

Ehud Olmert tries manfully to save himself from a vote of No Confidence before the month is out.

I will bet you that this is being coordinated with the WH. If there's a "de facto" ceasefire, the Arabs and the Russians will dig in their heels at the UN. Bush and Condi need the Hezzies to start screaming for a ceasefire. That means the IDF needs to start inflicting real pain on the ground.

Good call by Olmert, but four weeks too late, I'm afraid.

Be Seeing You,
