    ondo

    saw that art too.

    Don't know if you could call it a "coup" for Olmert.

    US DID abstain-thus prettymuch giving the green though..

    But yeah,I believe fromt eh start..this has been about elections and Zipi wanting to outBibi, out-Zionist him..

    Now they've got the good-cop/bad-cop routine going on...(Livni called for shortening..)

    Have heard they had already planned to wind it up by Inauguration as to not be a distraction...

    Think Ohlmert was jsut vying for some cred..with his posturing...

    I'm beginning to think he's nuts or egomaniac maybe?..
