By Mazal Mualem and Yossi Verter, Haaretz Correspondents: Olmert to Kadima: Give me time to prove my innocence
Talkback
Title:Olmert, you want time? No problem
Name:Tzfonit
City: Ben-AmiState: Israel
Olmert, you have already proven yourself as lacking credibility in issues that are far more detrimental and devastating to all of us than accepting fat envelopes of cash, watches, and collectors` pens for your greedy selfish benefit.
You have already proved untrustworthy in making fateful decisions before and during the fiasco of the summer of 2006. You have already proved untrustworthy in taking steps to aid and protect the citizens of the north and of the Western Negev. You have already proved you can’t keep your mouth shut regarding highly secure issues, and that you lack the courage to take Israel to the negotiating table.
Sorry, Olmert, you lost your credibility with me on July 12th, 2006, and you have done nothing since then to prove that you deserve it back again.
TIME? Sure, here’s your time Olmert: a day n jail for every rocket that fell on the Galilee and the Western Negev while you sat and mulled what to do, and a life sentence for everyone who died in the last war.
