Noon Update:OLMERT bends over and grabs his ankles By the Bear

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has accepted an emerging Mideast cease-fire deal and informed the United States of his decision, Israeli officials said Friday.-ABC News
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was the wrong man at the wrong time to lead Israel at this moment in history. Olmert and his cabinet were indecisive and unsure of what they where doing, their fear of taking casualties led to their undoing. I would not be surprised if his government collapses and is replaced by the people of Israel.
Israel is still the most formidable army in the region, but if you don’t use it, it doesn’t matter.
This is a serious blow to the West and most certainly will embolden the terrorist. A cease-fire is only a temporary end to the hostilities and the fighting will start again another day.
This is another chapter in the West’s inability to have the fortitude to defend itself.

Should this cease fire go forward as voted in the UN security council, then clearly it is a defeat for both Israel and the U.S. I believe it is quite possible for the current Israeli government to fall within the next ten days to two weeks.
Will B.B. Netanyahu become Prime Minister? Hopefully. Will the fighting stop? Will Hezbollah allow the Lebanese armed forces to disarm them? Doubtful. Will Iran and Syria stop supplying military arms and equipment to Hezbollah? In a pigs eye!
Will Hezbollah stop indiscriminate attacks against Israeli citizenry? Doubtful. Will Nasrallah declare Hezbollah the winner? Damned right! They are!!! Iran too! U.S. and Israel are the losers. Hell, Kofi didn’t even mention Hezbollah in his statement to the UN security council!
Will the French disarm Hezbollah with the use of force? BwaaaaHHHaaaaahaaaaaaaa!!!

Hezbollah Wins by Andy McCarthy
Hezbollah wins this big just by being legitmized. Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, not a country. The resolution we are signing on to, however, addresses it as if it were a country. The resolution doesn’t purport to direct any UN member nation to make Hezbollah cease firing — least of all Lebanon, the purported sovereign of this territory. Instead, it appeals to Hezbollah directly — in the same paragraph in which it addresses Israel, as if there were no difference in status between the two — and “calls on” it to stand down.
How do we sign onto that? Didn’t we just say about 24 hours ago that we are dealing with “Islamo-fascists” who cannot be reasoned with? Yet, recognizing that no one is willing to fight them, we are joining the “international community” in calling on Hezbollah terrorists to stand down? And when they don’t what happens? Will we write them a strong letter?
Maybe we should vacate Iraq but have the new Iraqi army and the UN guard the country while we call on al Qaeda to disarm. That’s apparently a winning formula, right?

Walid Phares sounds an alarm
“As soon as a cease fire occurs, the ‘Hezbollah Blitzkrieg’ will crumble the ‘Lebanese Republic of Weimar’ and install its own ‘Khumeinist Republic’ on the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. The consequences of such a development are far beyond imagination for the region and the world. Hezbollah would have paved the way for Iran to create the mother of all world threats since Hitler.”

Although it would seem as if Olmert had decided to give the [belated] go-ahead to the IDF to raid Lebanon and go as far as the Litani river, his acceptance of the “cease-fire” draft in the UN security council is still more or less an act of surrender…
