Talkback

"Peretz interrupted" (Halutz) "him - "that`s not in the plan I submitted to the cabinet""

Olmert: "the cabinet should accept the defense establishment`s proposal"

The tiniest inkling about basic management will tell you that in between these two statements is not a crack but a chasm. Nothing that has happened since Olmert made a lightning decision to eschew diplomacy and go for broke on 12 July, is purely the defense estabishment`s proposal.

If, as a technocrat or an ex-union leader, you choose war, you have to let those who know about it prosecute it.

The brave and the innocent are paying a dreadful price already. See sense Olmert and call it quits.
