These are the same aides that Peretz complained about a couple of days ago that they failed him.

Peretz would do well and look well if he were to resign immediately and make Sneh Defense Minister. Doing so would give him a chance to survive politicly.

He is an idiot and a clown not a defense minister

He deserves great respect for taking this step, unlike Peretz who obviously has no shame & no honour - just a self-serving jerk politician trying to salvage a failed career. What a creep!

God punished him and made him loose his job bec he did the same to the 10k people of gush katif. he was a legend in the air force...but from disengagment through lebanon he went straight down hill, which will be his memory....Peretz is just as guilty....as is sharon and olmert... WIth gods help the gvmt will change soon to a normal stable educated government that doesnt given weapons to the enemy

Please resign ! You forgot Sedrot You forgot the three Israeli soldiers Now , resign for good !

and well being.?????

get new elections. That seems to be possible now.

Seems like Peretz needs either reading glasses or a hearing aid. He is not wanted by the vast majority of the population and is the backrunner in Labor. What needs to be enhanced here ? Let him resign and retain a little dignity for having done the right thing. Wouldn't being booted out in a few days of weeks be much worse ?!

they all will go. no matter how much right or wrong they are THERE IS GREAT BIG NEGATIVE ENERY ON THEM BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE. no need to fear any more, no way to run from it. maybe in far future, they will be remembered as good ! (to be the reason of the great days after their time)

...for all the wrong reasons. They are inept ,self-serving and pander to the "do-gooders". Who don't have the welfare of Israel at all in mind. They will be remembered as WEAK.

is corrupt and must resign!!! The only solution would be to replace it with politicians who deeply care for the good for Israel and not arrogant scumbags such as Olmert and Peretz. Where are the politicians of the stature of a Golda Meir? Now that would be nice for a change!

contempt for Olmert and Peretz

Too bad you had to wait till you saw Halutz's blood written on the wall instead of all that of the dead soldiers and civilians. Livni, With Ehud almost out the door, what's your fear factor? Oh yeah, you are the prime minister in waiting and now it's your turn to put YOUR ass in the PMs seat.

Peretz you and Olmert are far more of a disaster for this country than Halutz could ever have dreamed of being. I voted for you and I regret it. Deeply and pervasively. Resign. Now.

during 2nd world war in the north african campaign unsuccesful generals were fired or resigned. winston churchill the prime minister did not resign or was not fired. why this orgy of hate on olmert. if olmert knew the army was unprepared he should resign,if he was told that an attack would be a walk in the park then those who told him so are responsible.
