If Ohlmert believes anything he is saying, he is totally delusional! How has he helped the situation by what happenned in Lebanon? He has to go! It doesn't matter when the next election is scheduled. He should resign! King Saul had the decency to fall on his sword. Now Israel is led by a complete buffoon who fails to realize that he is leading Israel to disaster.

Shmolmert likes the power, he will not leave by himselve. Only mass demonstrations can solve the crisis.

This is not the only place that you are very unpopular. You should call an election, you will lose. Call it now or wait for your non confidence vote in the Knesset. As an outsider, Im thoroughly disgusted at what has transpired in Israel over your watch.

It looks like Israelis feel defeated and will leave this loser running the country. He will ruin the country further, as he did when he was mayor of Jerusalem, and I don't think he will be re-elected. Then again Israelis have been known to make very suicidal mistakes before. Who would've thought that Peres would be the Israeli #2 after the Oslo disaster. I guess miracles really do happen.

only for such words he must be thrown out from his chair,instead of resigning by himself cause of the disaster he brought to country he is showing that the chair of PM is the most important for him than captured & killed soldiers

Your butt will be out of the PM chair before you know it. You failed.

I would not be surprised if olmert refused to leave, but I would be surprised if he remained as PM or a member of any government. he will be evicted kicking and screaming. ALSO: olmert, the political scientist, admonished his critics that the gov't could not be changed every monday and thursday. given that olmert changes his position every monday and thursday, it can reasonably assumed that a change in gov't would result in greater political stability. on a good day, olmert is a disgrace.

SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE FOR THE SAKE OF THE PEOPLE (AS GOOD LEADERS DO) AND GO AWAY BEFORE YOU GET EVERYONE KILLED. WE KNOW THIS WON'T HAPPEN BECAUSE HE IS NOT A GOOD LEADER.

Israel will be named Hizballah- Hamas.

Why are you subjecting us to a punishment that we do not deserve, do not want and do not need. Please respect the will of the people and go home. Nobody wants you as PM.

Israel your undoing is at hand. Has the population been so dumbed down that this menace to Israel's survival will continue his mission unchallenged? Where is the opposition? The tragedy is for the last generation of statesmen, warriors,and pioneers. The current malaise and indifference afflicting Israel is revolting to watch.
