Why would Kadima take the chance of unseating a good Israeli Prime Minister working out a peace settlement with our Arab adversaries? We`ve seen that Talansky legitimately gave money order transactions from bank accounts to PM Olmert`s legal campaign funds - where`s the cash in envelopes? That`s the crux of the corruption case and we see total misleading reports in the media which let the politicians to insist on primaries - Barak, Livni, Mofaz. Holding the primary in September is not only going to hold peace negotiations back and bring little confidence in any newcomer Kadima candidate or bring about a Likud government once again. Taking the stance of what`s better for the country supercedes any other political ambition. At least postpone the primaries to the end of 2008 at the minimum. Oy Gevalt!
