"We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want that we will be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies."-- Ehud K. Olmert to the Israel Policy Forum, June 9, 2005
"Our entire national existence… depends on our willingness and ability to defend ourselves... to battle the enemy..."
-- Ehud K. Olmert at Mount Herzl Memorial Day Ceremony, May 7, 2008.

With Olmert, its all about political survival. No one believes a word the man says. It all comes across as calculating and self-serving even at a moment of what should be national reverence for the dead in Israel. That's the real tragedy.
