3. I'm reassured Olmert not fit to Rule
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.19.07)
Even a pathological liar like Abbas reassures this lunatic at the helm. Thiose who have placed their faith in fools instead of Hashem .You will soon get the reward for trusting in cursed fools. "Thus says the Lord,Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength,and whose heart turna away from the Lord.Jeremiah 17:5 There are many in Israel today who are cursed.

6. "Olmert gets a wonderful welcome everywhere" ?!
redmiike ,   tel aviv   (10.19.07)
This is such obvious PMO propaganda! Israelis wish that Olmert hadn't come back! Is the message so hard to understand? "Olmert, Israelis want you to step down - now!".
7. This is a load of .....well, you know the word.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.19.07)
The only thing true is that Iran is going for nuclear weapons. The Iranians are experts at playing one power against the other for their benefit. I'm sure Russia does not want Iran armed with nuclear weapons. That being said, they also want the money from the sale of arms, the money from the sale of nuclear reactors, they want to show their "great power" status, they love annoying the Americans, they want more influence in the Middle-East, & last but not least, they like tensions that keep the price of oil higher. They also are afraid of Islamic terrorism within Russia, sponsored by Iran. They think they can control Iran's nuclear program - & this is their mistake. The Iranians are expert cheats & liars. If Olmert is reassured he is more delusional than I thought. He is trying to present himself as some kind of statesman, showing that he is doing something when in truth he is doing absolutely nothing. We should make no mistake - if military action is not taken against Iran, they will obtain a nuclear capability. Sanctions will not work, diplomacy will not work, & Russian assurances will not work. If America doesn't do the job, then we will be forced to do it using whatever means we have. The risk to our survival is unacceptable.
8. Reassurance
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (10.19.07)
Neville Chamberlain arrived from his talk with Hitler reassured.
9. Olmert Reassured= Israeli’s Deeply Troubled
Yoni ,   Nahariya   (10.19.07)
Olmert is a “contraire” meaning he has the exact opposite reaction every normal Israeli should have. He is also a lying, thieving political hack who would sell his and all Israeli’s inheritance for a few shekels in his bank account when he moves to France.
10. Olmert in Moscow
Scott Bailey ,   Los Angeles. Calif   (10.19.07)
If there was a thought bubble over Putin's head it would read ... " I cannot believe this guy swallowed that ! "
11. FACT
(10.19.07)
Russia is indeed intrested in seeing Iran turn into nuclear super-power so it will stand against the US !
12. Olmert is a GENUINE CLOWN
Malcolm   (10.19.07)
Putin is forging a new course for the Soviets and is banking on the Iranians. Last year he looked Olmert in the eyes and stabbed him in the chest. This time he just smiled and will stab him in the back short order.
13. #10 ROTFLMAO
Porky Pig   (10.19.07)
14. #11- the last thing Russia wants is for Iran to have a bomb
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (10.19.07)
Why do you think Russia has been withholding fuel? The very last think that Russia wants is a rogue Muslim state with nuclear weapons sitting on its doorstop. Russia has done more than anyone over the last 12 months to prevent Iran advancing its nuclear ambitions. It's playing a very clever game that has cost it a lot of money! Pretending to be a friend but withholding what they they need.
15. meeting of the used car salesmen
Craig   (10.19.07)
great, no problem then - now let's move on to priorities like bashing Jews in the head and preventing them from living in Israel - in other words, the things 'orrible Olmert does best.
16. Pres Bush will make Olmerde sit on the "naughty step" for go
Alan ,   SA   (10.19.07)
17. Is Olmert really this naive?
Barry ,   Tokyo   (10.19.07)
Putin sells everything the Syrians and Iranians ask for and he think he has a friend in Russia? I wonder what chemical Putin slipped into Olmert´s glass.....
18. #14 redmike
benny ,   begin   (10.19.07)
niave one ,and you are smarter than the majority of Israel Did you forget the weapons coming into Iran Syria and Lebanon from Putin ?. They are only aimed at Jewish faces. It's no wonder Israel fell for Oslo and then Road Map. You've fallen into the Putin trap as has Oldmerde.
19. Hope this isn't like Chamberlin in ww2
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (10.20.07)
When he came back to england after a meeting with Hitler waving a document in his hand that had hitlers assurances on it..... keep your eyes open and don't blink !
20. putin stance
marcel ,   toronto   (10.20.07)
Olmert's reassurances are worthless as he is totally gullible. Putin has been arming Iran for all these years in the nuclear field. Olmert's wonderful private contacts did a lot for israel: Israelis got killed in Sderot, Israel was not prepared in Lebanon war, and now Olmert wants arab rockets in Jerusalem and most of the west bank. Then he will move to the US. What an embarrassment!
21. Why do you all think that Olmert believes Putin
Chaim ,   Canada   (10.19.07)
Olmert is very intelligent. What he says in public is a calculated part of his strategy. I think he is handling things quite well (especially considering all the personal attacks on him and the legal accusations). Even the war in Lebanon was a brilliant strategic move. The execution was not good but that was not his fault.
22. olmert
braso ,   brasil   (10.20.07)
i think olmert had one too many cocktails on his trip to russia, believing a russian president that provides weapons for terrorists, however russians wants the money honey, cant blame a bro for trying to earn a dolar right
23. putin
alan ,   kell bay, alaska   (10.20.07)
Putin is not on good terms with W but is on good terms with Olmert. This "leak"has to be pure bull.... Russia has a port directly defending Syria. Why should that move make Israel feel safer/ Why should Israel truct Iran at all?
24. Reassured by whom?
Brod ,   USA   (10.20.07)
By the very people who are supplying Israel's arch enemy with high tech weaponry, rockets and nuke technology. Russia is doing business with Iran at the expense of Israel's destruction, since Iran is hellbent on the destruction of Israel. Iran is also feverishly working on their nukes so that they can accomplish their evil goal of vaporizing Israel. Without Russia behind the belligerent Islamist-Jihadist states in the Middle East, there would be no Middle East conflict. Olmert should not take their assurance as biblical truth.
25. Olmert meant 'conned' not "reassured" - a slip of the brain!
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (10.19.07)
26. #18 - hi, you are mixing apples and oranges
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (10.19.07)
"Did you forget the weapons coming into Iran Syria and Lebanon from Putin ?.". One is nuclear and the other is not. Russia is trying to upgrade it's status in the ME but that has nothing to do with wanting a nuclear Iran. Mike
27. sitting on the fence=lukewarm.
jaded   (10.20.07)
28. Reassured ?
QmAn ,   london   (10.19.07)
Do not be so naive Mr. Olmert, How can you trust him ?! Remember that he was a spy n you can never trust a spy if you don't know ask Mossad.
29. Omlette Fudd Doing Shots of Vodka
Marcus Justice ,   New Orleans, USA   (10.20.07)
while gilad wastes away in some ishlamic hell-hole look at that sh-t-eating grin on the criminal olmert's face
30. Anxiety...
Lior ,   London   (10.20.07)
If Olmert returns from Russia reassured, my levels of anxiety rise accordingly.
