Day After War Report Most Israelis Want Olmert To Resign
So we told you the Winograd Commission Report came out and guess what?
56% say they want him to go, and 41% say they want elections held early.
I say bring back Bibi, he’ll kick some ass.
Some 41 percent want an early election. The prime minister claimed he was vindicated by the Winograd panel’s final report, which was released on Jan. 30, and would carry on - although he was awarded a low mark for his management of the 2006 war against Hizballah. Popular opinion and a long line of Israeli figures, political and military, think he should make himself accountable for his mistakes and step down.
At the prime minister’s pep talk to his Kadima party Wednesday, Jan. 31, a senior member Avigdor Yitzhaki signified his disapproval by resigning his Knesset seat.
Olmert’s mouthpieces say: He made the mistakes; it is up to him to correct them.
War protesters, spearheaded by reservists and bereaved families, are turning up the heat on defense minister Ehud Barak to make good on his pledge to take his Labor party out of the government coalition, or force the prime minister to call an early election before the 2010 schedule.
All the military leaders and some of the politicians held accountable for the flawed conduct of the Lebanon War have stepped down. This Olmert consistently refuses to do. His Kadimah ministers are working hard to generate a climate of business as usual in the prime minister’s office.

How much is Olmert to blame?
