Gush Katif Spokesman Declares Victory
Excerpts;
“Eran Sternberg, thrown out of his home in Gush Katif last summer, says that the reports of ‘concern in the IDF’ over lack of motivation among future officers are a sign that his approach is correct.”

There is a huge fraudulent BUT here. Barak of IRIS explains.
For context, read these posts …
In our Parsha Tetzaveh, the laws regarding the annointment, the vestments and the Avodah (service) of the Kohanim are enunciated for the Jewish people. But wait! Stop the music. Something seems amiss.
Our Parsha, unlike any other place throughout Torah (including Sefer Devarim where Moshe himself speaks to the Jewish people in one continuous Mussar shmooze reviewing the laws and the events of the 40 years in BaMidbar and where each of the Parshiyot are distinguished only by the sections Halachas enunciated) from the time of his birth through Vezos HaBeracha, omits any mention of Moshe Rabbeinu.

“‘The Gaza evacuation was an operation conducted against legal settlements, while Amona was about enforcing the law and order against illegal construction. Therefore I see no room to compare the two events at their base level,’ said Halutz.”
Olmert: Kadima Has Already Won the Election Campaign
Excerpt;
“‘The question of who will win has already been decided. Now the question is if we will be strong and big enough in order to do everything we need to do. We thus need as many seats as possible,’ Olmert said as a conference of immigrants in Rishon Letzion.”
Commentary;
Ehud Olmert’s pre-mature pronouncement of victory reminds this author of “Red” Auerbach, the former coach of basketball’s Boston Celtics when the established a long-running dynasty in the NBA. It seems that whenever the Celtics seemingly had a lock on winning the game in it’s late going, Auerbach would light his victory cigar. And much to this author’s dismay, anger and dislike of “Red” Auerbach, he was seldom, if ever wrong.
