No wonder Peres is so happy. Barak's lust for power may actually exceed his. And great line by Hasson. Kadima and Livni are coming out of this smelling like a rose.
2. condeming Barak now is Livni oportunism
zionist forever   (03.24.09)
Barak has 2 problems the first one being he wants to be running things. He can't be PM but at least he can be part of a coalition govern as defense minister which everybody mistakenly thought he had done so well. His second problem is Livni she has 29 seats compared to Baraks measly 13 and she is the high profile one. Barak condems the government the public attitude is ok we know what you have to say but its what Livni thinks that interests them. In opposition he is like the little baby overshadowed by his big sister so he ignored and big sister knows best. At least if he is in government he is still visible and he is in a position to say to Livni youo don't know what your talking about. She is the oportunistic one because she is the one condeming Barak for no good reason other than to make herself heard. Netanyahu went to her on his hands & knees and begged her to join him but she knew unless Bibi agreed to let her be the PM or have some kind of rotation then she had a better chance of being PM in about 2 years time. Netanyahus small majority has everybody infighting, it rubs off on him, policies are harder to push forward so Livni who is whiter than white because she has never been PM and all her failings as foreign minister was rubbed onto Olmert, he was the fall guy for everything while she kept a low profile most the time so nobody ever noticed her involvement in failed or unpopular policies it was 100% Olmerts failing.
