Back When Olmert Made Sense

Ehud Olmert

I know it's been a long time...but there was a time, once, when Ehud Olmert actually made sense...

• We simply cannot afford to make Israel [9 miles] wide again at its center. We can't allow the Palestinians to be a couple [miles] from [Tel Aviv's] Ben Gurion Airport in the age of shoulder-fire missiles with the capacity to shoot down jumbo jets.
  
• “[Palestinian militants] started this terror, they have made the use of human bombs, those suicidal attackers, as frequent as possible, ...
  
• “We are in a war, a very brutal war that has been waged against every Jewish person in the heart of Jerusalem, ... My city is bleeding, day in and day out, with tens of civilians killed.”
  

Maybe the day will come again when Ehud Olmert will once again make sense...when we will stop talking in terms of surrender, defeat, and rewarding terrorists...or maybe not....
