Don't You Wait Up Now!

Olmert tells Israelis as he leaves for the Sharm el-Sheikh summit

Olmert said in remarks quoted by The Associated Press people should not expect a major breakthrough at Monday's gathering. "Don't wait impatiently tonight for the outcome as if at the end of the day you are going to see us sitting and signing a peace treaty. It will take time," he said.

First of all, we are talking about Olmert here. Is there anyone who seriously expects--on the basis of Olmert's past leadership and expertise--that there will magically appear a real peace treaty?

Olmert gives himself far too much credit.

Isn't it more likely that many are terrified at the thought of the 'painful concessions' that Olmert will take the liberty of offering--all in the name of a chimerical peace with terrorists?

What in the world is he thinking?
