Israelis ask PM to step down after war report
By: Ahmed Hammadi
HELD JERUSALEM: Israeli legislators have called on Monday for Prime
Minister Ehud Olmert to resign after a government inquiry blasted him
for "serious failure" in handling last year's Lebanon war.
The Winograd Commission held Olmert, Defence Minister Amir Peretz and
former chief of staff Dan Halutz principally responsible for a litany
of failures of the 34-day conflict after a seven-month investigation.
"If each or anyone of those would have acted better, the decisions and
the results of the war would have been different or better," retired
judge Eliahu Winograd said, presenting the commission's first partial
report on the war.
The severe criticism immediately prompted calls from critics of the
beleaguered premier for him to step down.
About 1,200 Lebanese were martyred and 160 Israelis were killed after
Israel launched operations against Hezbollah.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
