Commentary;
To Ehud Olmert, words are cheap. And as a result, nothng he says fazes Hamas. Credibility: forget about it! We still recall his pat response to terror and rockets; “We Know What to Do.” And the “brave fighters” who hide behind civilians, women and children will continue being shielded and chayalim will still have to think once, twice before shooting when confronted by clear and present danger for mortal fear of world opinion. The Arabs, the world look on and laugh hysterically and with utter disdain. MB
