The measure of every classically great Israeli success in the 20th and 21st centuries has been the perfect silence of her leaders whenever something big, vital or strategically important was involved. One can palpably measure the comparative weakness of today`s sad Israeli leadership because, every day, either Olmert or Barak; Barak or Olmert bleats on about how much is being done to get Shalit back; or how prepared Israel is for any necessary conflict. It would hearten those of us who believe in your cause to hear way less noise from you and just see the kind of brilliance and action we remember at Entebbe or the Six Day War; the Syrian Nuclear Site and even the Mossad role in Betancourt`s release from FARC. The secret of success is slience, mixed in with quiet, perfect intelligence and faultless military skill. Words won`t get him back. Neither will Germany, Egypt or France. Ehud and Ehud time to stop talking and start doing.Stop yattering for a day; you might even find your resolve
