The end of the Olmert era for Israel

[Lemon law]

As somewhat an overdue development, Olmert has announced he will call for new leadership
elections for his party on 9/17 and not stand as a candidate.

Then depending on if the new Katima party leader can retain a ruling coalition or not, Israel will have a new leader or new elections with Olmert in lame duck control a little longer.

As an optimist I can hope that Israel will finally help pave the way for a Palestinians State and a general defusing of tensions, but your guess is good as mine on what will end up happening.

Good riddance.

I wasn't aware that he'd been in long enough to call it an era.
Good grief man he's only been in office since 2006 and only because the Bulldozer went into a coma. I don't think anyone even anticipated he'd last these two measly years.

Perry404, maybe you dismiss only two years as not an era, but Olmert is still the dumb MF that sucked into the Cheney brainfart to rape Lebanon. And now at the same time GWB is descending into lame duckery, as a Ron Paul advocate, I would expect you to to take some optimistic or pessimistic position.

Exactly how long does it take to screw the pooch?
