He can't manage the to get the army to win battles against Hizbolla, but has a stragey to silence any criticism.

This is a petty issue which is of no interest to or business of the general public. Why is the media making this into something important?

just how petty the COS can be.

I salute you.

It tells a lot about the miserability of Halutz's soul. He had already let IDF officers know that their phone calls would be monitored to prevent any leak to the press. Tsahal is not a professional army, it is the people's army and their duty is to spreak. I am affraid that I have more and more hatred for Halutz. He is hurting Israel and sent the bravest to death. If he declines to resign, I hope he will dye the sooner, the better. And believe me, I am sad to write this about Tsahal Ramat Kal!

Ron Tal sacrificed his " benefits enjoyed by career general, like a car and a generous salary. " to save the country. Much less can be said about the coalition partners who will sacrifice the country for their car, their generous salary, other kickbacks, protexia . Ask your members if they are willing to sacrifice their benefits in order to protect the country from incompetency and failed political policies like "disengagement" "giving away the Golan to Syria and Iran"

no $$ for reservists who need flack jackets, bullets, etc. all of these former generals end up making a fortune anyhow - why should the taxpayer have to pay him for car, generous salary, etc.

...he's the commander who was so enthusiastic to undertake the "disengagement" of Israeli citizens and soldiers from Gaza and who fought the war against Hizballah in a tragically inept manner. I encourage you to do the best thing you can do now, Dan Halutz, which is to resign as soon as possible.

This guy is about to go pension anyway so let us make some noise in order to get a good listplace a some party. Any decent amyman knows that such comments are legitime as long as they are handled INTERNALLY. We only have this one army, they should not start fighting each others, we simply can not afford so. So Tal, SHUT UP!

Let's not forget that Ron-Tal's is a technical criticism, not ideological. Let's not trust anymore the clean-shaved faced atheist secular non-Jewish carrier Jew. We Want Jewish Yisrael! For more see jewishyisrael.org

I think aftre 33 years of service generals deserve cars and perks...just like you get "pitsuim: when you leave regular job! how many years of service did you do or didnt do !

Firing Him Only Makes Him Bigger

What a crazy country the responsible for failure cling on to their seats bringing down Israel to its knees while the true Heroes are punished. I hope the days for Olmert, Peretz and Halutz and the Kadima are numbered for Israels sake.

From the pictures you chose for this article I see a mad man (Halutz) makes me think how he ever got the Position of COS and a thoughtfull General RON-TAL. Why don't they throw out the Mad man which caused so much suffering for the Jewish people plus lost decisively against 700 Hizballah and replace him with the thoughtfull general ???

Halutz should go home too.
