There is the possibility that some of the Likud renegades in Kadima, rueing the day on which they decided to throw in their lot with that ill-starred political creation, will return to the ranks of the Likud. And that some of the Labor rejects, now eating humble pie, will be mercifully accepted into the ranks of Labor. And that a politically reshuffled Knesset will bring down the Olmert government and vote confidence in a new prime minister and his government. Or else, perish the thought, new elections. This political uncertainty is painful to contemplate at a time when Israel faces a most serious crisis, which is the direct result of the Olmert government's handing Hezbollah a victory in Lebanon. Voices, silent for many years, are being heard in the Arab world that Hezbollah has now again demonstrated that it is possible to defeat Israel by the use of force. It is a relatively short distance between this conviction and aggressive action against Israel. Some advocates of the Olmert government already argue that just because of the approaching danger, the Olmert government should remain in power so that it will manage the coming crisis without wasting any time. That would be a grave error. Israel can certainly not afford another mistake like the mismanaged Lebanon war.

Ping!
Unfortunately Ha'aretz seems to be the LA Times of Israel. In tactical terms the Hezbos lost land and much valuable equipment. In the press, the Hezabos did much better; but the press, especially the Western liberal media, are sycophants to any anti-American, anti-Israel terrorist. The problem with the situation in S. Lebanon is that now the UN is involved and the largest contributors of troops so far seem to be Islamonazi countries.

Bs, you don't have a clue what I am. I said what I believe in my post, apparently you didn't read it. I said there was a perception of loss, and there is. What Olmert should be shot for is leaving his 3 soldiers in terrorist hands. I stand by that, Olmert, and anyone who thinks he did right in this little set to, are the ones who should be ashamed! And yes, having been in a situation where my buddies came and pulled me out of a situation, I would volunteer to shoot this worthless POS for leaving his guys out there to be tortured and killed.
The whole war was fought because of the kidnapping and killing of Israeli soldiers but he let it end without retrieving them. This is the loss Israel suffered.

Who are you? Besides that you want someone to kill Olmert.

They are my favorite Fairly Oddparents characters, of course since they are voiced by the greatness of Ben Stein.
