Olmert's Accountability Moment

Rosner's Blog
April 30, 2007
The Winograd report: first reaction
The Israeli public stands to learn from the Winograd report what the American public has learned following the Iraq War: Successful leaders require good judgment, moderation and farsightedness. In lieu of these, they must produce victories on the battlefield."

. . . Olmert's survival kit has just one tool left in it: Israel's public is not at all sure that there's someone else they want as a replacement. Namely, Benjamin Netanyahu, leading the polls as the possible successor, is both the threat and the lifesaver.
