Nah, more likely he read the Editorial in haaretz calling for him to step down because he's a coward...
good timing, olmert.

The way you win a war is kill and destroy until they say "I surrender", then you take their land. I don't understand the term "limited war".
You watch, we will have trouble there again someday, just like we didn't finish Korea, Viet Nam, Cuba, at the Bay of Pigs, Lebanon, and Iran in the '70's, It all comes back to bite you. The Germans and Japs are "our friends"( I know, I know, but at least they ain't shooting at us), Because we killed their asses until they said "That's enough". In Korea, we got a UN ceasefire. Yeah, that worked. Lebanon will be the same until the Jews go in and topple the government, arrest the Hessbolah's, shoot Nazralla, and change the name to North Israel. Then you can negotiate whatever you want.
You see that Egypt, Jordan, and Syria don't want to take Israel on. They want someone else to do it. They got their butts kicked and don't want to do it again.
