Not publishing this report will therefore save us a lot of money. Olmert's stupidity continues unabated. His order to muzzle the findings clearly indicates that he has a lot to hide... far too much. Something's wrong with the Israeli political system. The system should have been able to pull him and his government out of office a lot sooner than is happening.

unless Olmert explains what vital national interests are at stake, it can only be assumed that he is equating his own political future with the state's vital interests

What are you Afraid of Mr.Olmert? That the Public will know,U send IDF soldiers in to war without the minimum Equipment,i was there and lost 2 dear Fighters cause you did not do your Job!! Your Arrogance is unbelievable and i lost my trust in you,and sure i am not alone. To day the public is more aware of things and that is good ,since the days of your Government are coming to an end.

Dont be fooled by Olmerts tricks. He is making out that he is worried but its all staged. People dont realise that Olmert appointed Winograd himself, so do you really think this report will be that damming?

Maybe Torah is going far slowly slowly from Israel ? Maybe todays Israel = Olmert Atilla Karagözoğlu

that thrives only in darkness and filth. He is afraid that the light of truth will ruin him... and I pray that it happens soon, B"H. He and his cronies are a true existential threat to Israel. Israelis, I beg you, get off your butts and clean out this CHAMETZ government before Pesach!!!!

in which countries could he be pulled out of office sooner ? I'd love to get him thrown out but can think of nothing better than leaning on the coalition parties to finish him by a vote of no confidence ! Mike

What with my superior leadership skills, and an uncanny knowledge in knowing what the Arabs want ( I can now say "I Surrender" in Hebrew English Arabic AND French!), how dre this commission and the High Court question my talents and abilities? Why...without me, how else could Hezbullah and Hamas be in the position they are now?

Arrogant Olmert really does believe he can fool all the people all the time. Everyone now recognizes that, with his string of failures and indiscretions, Olmert is Israel's greatest security threat. He can't hide behind Condi Rice and legal loopholes forever. His days with Israel's electorate are thankfully numbered.

If he think that he act right why he is afraid. Hes hould call for early elections after the report is publish to see if he can stay.

This is like the criminal telling the judge not to tell anybody if he has been found inocent or guilty so he cant be punished. Olmert we all know your a failure along with your friends Livni and Peretz and national interests and personal interests are not the same thing. If your concerned with whats in the national interests then take Livni and Peretz and resign and call for fresh ellections that will help the national interest.
