Brilliant!

And to all the nay-sayers: whether you like it or not, (sadly to say) all-out-war is coming, and it cannot be avoided, even if Israel doesn't attack Iran. The satanic hatred of Israel goes back eons; its culmination will , soon, come to head--the end-result will be another devestating defeat for the Muslims; Israel stands victorious. So, stop worrying! The true God of Israel stands watch. Some friendly advice: Israel, as a whole, needs to stop being fearful for what's coming, and put their faith in God (but, that's what you get for a mostly secular society); He won't fail you! And its not for Israel's obedience, but more so for His faithfulness...promises made to the Forefathers'. God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem! Christian Zionist

Israel anymore and Hamas is the quietest it has ever been. Apparently whatever Olmert did, however crudely, has worked. As to the subject at hand, I do believe Olmert's remark was inappropriate indeed. Today is not the time to appear undecided and conflicting.

Israel's worst prime minister does not have the decency to keep his pie hole shut and to remove himself from public life.

Wow you guys would be in tons of trouble if this clown was in charge now. Could you imagine him and Obama working together...ouch Long Live Israel

belongs behind bars. why is he allowed to speak out for or against Israel and its leaders??????? why is he even allowed to travel abroad??????

There is no hidden agenda when it comes to Olmert, Dagan and Diskin expressing their opinion. The opinions expressed reflect the fact that Israel is impotent in facing Iran, period...

As I said in my previous talkbacks, the last of your questions is the affirmative. "They deliberately create an opposite view inside Israel to confuse the Iranians of Israel's intentions visavi the Iranian military nuclear program."

#29 CORRUPT is not the word. he is a thief, a liar, shrewd and his entire family is involved. He "forced" people to purchase his wife's "paintings" and "sculptures".

This country already showed exactly what it thinks of Olmert's opinion in the last elections when it voted out that sleazy leftist corrupt coward by a landslide.

Actually Mr.Pardo is Israel's new-Mossad chief... .

Isn't he a convicted criminal? A failed politician? A cheater? He was a disaster as PM.

Ever since Olmert The Great bawled out a very pro Israeli journalist (Olmert did not know that) writing for The Netherlands leading newspaper for posing an intelligent but slightly critical question and 25 years later having the sister of a service man in Olmert's Lebanon war beg her friends for donations to buy the fighting men clean undies and food, I have only but contempt for this man who is nothing but a huge corrupt loud mouthing ego with no brain.

The man has no shame, but shames Israel.

Mr Olmert has shown his Qualities, as has also his Buddies. God bevere !!!- Arn.Sweden.

There is always two Main sides in every People. What this side is in Heart aginst is Messianic Rule. Arn.Sweden.

The man disgraced himself, the office of PM and his negligence got soldiers killed. The man belongs in Samir Kuntar's old jail cell not trying to make a political comeback. As for Iran, either Bibi has done a deal with Obama whereby the US will attack Iran after the election or Bibi will try something and drag Obama into it. In an election year Obama cannot sit back allow Iran to retaliate against Israel and do nothing so Bibi only has to put things in motion and the US can use all their hardware Israel could only ream of having to finish the job and put Iran out of action for good. Now we just have to hope Bibi can hold his right wing coalition together until the US election when it comes to Iran I prefer the tough talking of Bibi & Barak than the lets just do what America tells us to do attitudes of Shelly Y, Shaul Mofaz & Yair Lapid. It would mean an end to Israel's determination to do something about Iran

It is beyond believe how in Israeli politics, criminals, serial bunglers and other incompetent hacks, keep on getting back their chairs in the knesset. Olmert who was for sure the worst PM we ever put up with, is still free the roam around no matter how many corruption charges he has outstanding. Meanwhile the people like Dagan and Diskin who were supposed to cover our backs,turn out to be the biggest back stabbers of them all. Just shows you how money and power attracks the biggest rubbish from among us. Frankly none of these people including Bibi have a clue and are mostly concerned about their own agenda's at our expense as usual. Meanwhile Iran is on a steady course to achieve its nuclear goals, while we are at the mercy of a bunch of inflated ego trippers, vying for media attention ,putting up a show of the absurd.

pay off to keep out of jail? He is a disgrace and a shame to Israel. Just seeing his face makes me sick.

Has the press nothing to writeabout except fot the daiky orocedure of a criminal. Olmert is a underhand crook provrn in court

you tried, you failed, now just keep your mouth shut and get trialed for bribery.

from a world famous military strategist. I'm glad you're here to add some real straight talk to the mix.

What a useless, irrelevant, spineless, incompetent man... This marketing strategy of aligning himself to the left is disturbing.

Mofaz will not win the elections neither Yahir Lapid. The problem is that u dont have a better one than Netanyahu. At least not in this moment.

Is the press (including (YNET, JPOST) promoting the thoughts of this corrup loser and other malcontents. Take a pole and find out how little we care about olmert's thoughts

to anyone else- in last 50 years.

All these ex-Mossad and Generals which abuse the system and exploate their experience for political reason. The historical facts show that is catastrophic for Israel which pay dearly. The political leader which stem from these sources have not the wisdom and experience to run a social - economical system.. They should be laid off for good.
