1. what are his qualifications?

not that Olmert is so great, but Barak's administration was rife with back stabbing, corruption (both electoral and governmental) and also Barak unilaterally fled from Lebanon, and did nothing to address the danger of a terror group controlling the northern border and also completely failed to contain the outbreak of the 2nd intifada. In fact his kid-gloves approach to the 2nd intifada closely mirror's Olmert's kid-glove approach to Hezbollah this summer... in short... Ehud Barak was a monumental failure as Prime Minister.

Finally, some good news for the Likud. Barak might lead Labor.
5. Do you recall Barak making a liar of himself?
robert ,   usa   (01.07.07)
Before the election against Sharon, Barak insisted that he would refuse to participate in Sharon's government if Sharon won. Then when Sharon had won, Barak made a chump of himself by ignoring his "promise" and offering to consider Sharon's offer that Barak take the Defense Minister post. As far as i'm concern, until he apologizes for the lying, Barak is just as unreliable as Olmert. These men should value the honor of their word more than their ambitions.
6. STUPIDITY
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (01.07.07)
It does not cease to amaze me the stupidity of the israelis in general.Barak who"s tenure as PM was a failure(in a long line of failures including bibi)is still burning up our tax money at a alarming rate. And it shows in his gutspah to be still running for leadership,how selfdelusional the israeli ego is. In general the israelis are blinded and have lost any sense of reality.In just reading ynet and its published articles one senses total lack of direction and moral fiber. We are sinking faster and faster and it seems that our leaders(hard word to write) suffer serious mental diminished mental capacity.I think we have reached a point were the public does not care any more which incompetent fool gets up to steer us into the abyss.So in short left ,right or religious they all are pretty much the same,without any care for us.

11. INCOMPETENT MONKEY WANTS A SECOND CHANCE TO CAUSE MORE DAMAG
Bruno ,   austr/telaviv   (01.07.07)
wHEN WILL ISRAELIS LEARN THAT CLEANING HOUSE MEANS GETTING RID OF PATHETIC, INCOMPETENT, CORRUPT AND WEAK PERSONALITIES. keep this guy as far away as possible from our TROUBLED GOVERNMENT.
12. Sounds like a joke
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (01.07.07)
What sheer unadulterated gall to stick this dummy up as a candidate for Defense Minister. Those of us who suffered, and survived, the beginning of the second intifada in 2000 remember how totally useless this man was as PM, and how he freaked out when the arabs attacked. Thanks to him we lost Kever Yosef and had to turn Kever Rahel into a fortress which Jews are afraid to visit. What a disgrace and humiliation for the Jewish people. Not to mention the long history of bloodshed that ensued because the government did not quell the uprising as any normal government (such as the USA) would in the circumstances. (Only Ben Eliezer spoke sense about the security problem, but now he seems content to remain in obscurity for some reason. God protect us from such a man as Bareak. If Natanyahu wins the next election I just hope he doesn't choose Barak as Defense Minister.
13. THE LOSERS PARTY.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (01.07.07)
They should merge Labour with Kadima & call it the Losers Party. That way, it will be more convenient NOT to vote for them.
14. Smolanim in labor are such clowns.
