Ehud? I guess Perez blew it, he did not surrender to the Islamics. Ehud would not make that error.

Barak was OK as Chief of Staff and he's definitely moved to the right in his views since losing the election to Ariel Sharon. Olmert has to replace Peretz from Labour in order to keep Labour in the coalition. Of what Labour has to offer Barak is probably the best choice. The only other viable choice would be Binyamin Ben-Eliezer.
Personally, I'd rather see Olmert bring Likud into the coalition and jettison Labour if need be, but that won't happen. Bring back Dr. Moshe Arens as DM would be appropriate for the current situation. Israel needs someone tough and experienced in the position. Barak is at least experienced.
