Why start a war at all unless you have total certainty that you can free the captives? Surely you could see that at least one soldier would die!

I couldn't care less about the weapon, but the deed must get done.

Omlet is basicly saying openly that he lost his nerve and bottled it. Absolutely shocking. Its time this imbecile was removed. Or as you said, has a Kassam dropped on his head.

Tghis guy is very sick. How to remove this guy?

I cannot for the life of me believe that the Jews in Israel have simply lost their minds. They are on autopilot to suicide. For heavens sake WAKE UP ALREADY! Your leaders will sell you out. They will leave at the first shot. Olmert has prepared himself nicely. His sons are in America. Follow the money trail. 10 to 1 he has taken millions out of the country. WAKE UP ..your very lives are in mortal danger

The mixed multitude. Thus its irrelevant, and must be silenced whether its with votes or through other actions.

He's a foolish leader by any of his thoughts.

You cannot have both much longer.

us see how he is going to fair with iran ithink we all set back relax sip some phatphat tea watch the fire works this is the land of secon chance may a ukrainian cruise not miss his baldhead

Olmert is an expert at respinning his failures as victories. Could you imagine how good he would be at making a real victory look good. But it IS Olmert so we will never know.....

He should not talk less and do more - he should merely RESIGN. He is becoming more and more a liability to Israel. He has lost more than a war in Lebanon he has lost his credibility not only in Israel and the middle east but as well upon the whole of the world stage.

Can anyone believe this self deluded windbag of a PM? IF his draft dodging sons were kidnapped, he would be singing a different aria. In fact, he would have moved heaven and earth to bring them home. He wasn't trying to save soldiers by not bringing them back. Soldiers are tasked to fight, not to retreat. If he didn't tie their hands in knots and allowed them to use their firepower, things would have turned out differently. I could slap his hounddog face. The truth is that he is a blatant coward, and a deluded one at that. He lives in a schizophrenic's fantasy world, full of delusions of grandeur. This is the same PM who said he was tired of fighting, tired of winning, and wanted Israel to be a 'fun' place to live. While rockets rain down, while soldiers are kidnapped, while soldiers are killed, while more than a million lived in bombshelters, Israel's PM wants it to be a 'fun' place. Earth to Olmert - win the freakin war already, and Israel will be a fun place to live!

What a stupid man this Olmert is. His sell by date has long gone and he should out and let others who are not cowards as he is, to do the job.

dodging scumbag cowards for sons! Let olmert and his terrorist gang resign. We will remember all the guilty parties in the next election. The next govt will try all of them including fatboy and his two sons.

If you understood this fact, you would realize why the enemies of Israel will find themselves battling God himself, and losing their souls in the process.

He's not only acting French , but is looking more so each day.

I don't know who you are but you hit the nail right on the head. I could not have stated it better. Thank you. Now if only some more Israelis read this and maybe (I hope) wake up, we can throw this bum out of office. Our survival depends on it.

You like to tease the Jews with your phatphat tea humor. Too many people have been murdered through history, both Jews and Gentiles, because of the evil inherent among mankind in rejecting the God of Israel. We all need to decide whether to accept the second chance God has offered and stand with the Jewish Messiah, not make a joke out of His work to set God's name in Jerusalem, His commitment to save men from themselves.

"We didn't know if they were alive and it is preferable that they spend a little more time in captivity than having more soldiers die,"

of anbody may be ony little humor about arrogance of the man . the MESSiah is not ajew and jesus wasnot and stil not a jew adam and eve werenot jews the name jew is for tribe or tribes but god had onefaith for all human race one faith sinceadam find out donot be scared and have some fun w ill ya
