here is some math for you [in support of my pet theory ;)]

at every decision making point in your post, one of the options is "Olmert is a twinkie". So, given the limited spectrum of time in which this conflict takes place there is a 50/50 shot of Olmert being a twinke by your account

Now lets look at all points in time prior to this conflict, and i'll wrap it up nicely in one of Olmert's more infamous quotes:
"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies."

Now do the math.
