Addressing an enthusiastic audience, the Likud leader opined, "Olmert said long ago that we are 'tired of curbing the attacks.' It's not the nation that's tired - Olmert is [the one who is] tired. There is only one thing worse than a nation that has lost faith in its leaders, and that is leaders who have lost faith in their nation."

He then called on the prime minister "to vacate the position for a responsible leadership."

Without good leadership, the good people are lost.

The bad guys can prevail out of sheer insanity and swarming and will thrive under any lunatic who happens to get in front of the mob.

But good people need good leaders or they simply cannot prevail.

the people of Israel need to let the powers that be know that they need a change NOW.

Otherwise Ahmadinejad's call for the destruction of Israel will become a reality...

.....Dont be like THIS GUY

Maybe when several more children are injured or dead, then Olmert will act, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't imagine the military is tired of curbing the attacks. I think they are tired of being told to sit around and watch them without responding. Olmert is tired. Too tired to run the affairs of a country under seige.

Is it simply a case of being tired?

Or is there something else at work here?

I'm not saying that Olmert is in cahoots with the Palestinians.

I just find it odd that he's doing nothing at all.

Is Olmert under some sadly mistaken impression that if Israel does nothing, that Hamas and Fatah will stop launching attacks?

Israel needs a man of strength and vision, and his name is not Olmert.

While I agree that Bibi is a way better leader than Olmert, caution is currently required. In Lebanon, you have Hezbollah fighting the Lebanese government, and in Gaza, you have Hamas and Fatah fighting each other. All they need to stop fighting is a common enemy, and Israel is wise to not interfere while its enemies are destroying themselves.

When I look at the picture, I can't tell whether it's an attempt at a smile or an attempt at a sneer.
