No one forced Olmert to agree to the ceasefire. Why are you blaming Bush? He gave the Israelis more than a month to take care of Hezbollah even taking the political heat of providing them additional bunker buster bombs when they were in the process of bombing downtown Beirut. Place the plame where it belongs with Olmert and his crew. He thought he could win the war from the air on the cheap without committing the necessary ground forces to win. He called up the reserves and then had them sit on his side of the border not wanting to commit to a larger battle. Olmert is a later day LBJ.

Personally, I think we need to be a little patient to see if Olmert has a second act planned.

There is so much more going on here than we see.

He gave the Israelis more than a month

A whole month? Oh boy.

Good thing no one counts the years Iraq is taking.
