Someone's got a fan

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert finally has a fan reports Arutz Sheva:
Hizbullah Chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says he hopes Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will remain in office. "If we have to choose between a foolish prime minister and another who is strong and capable, we prefer that the fool remain,” he told Lebanese Al-Safir newspaper Tuesday. Nasrallah made the comments when asked about the prime minister’s recent claims - themselves based on Nasrallah’s statements - that Israel had won the war.

"I don't mind that Olmert is benefiting from [my statements that we did not expect Israel’s response],” Nasrallah said. “Olmert says he achieved something because he put me in a bunker. All his objectives in the war amounted only to my being in a bunker.”

Nasrallah said that Hizbullah will remain fully armed, retaining its thousands of missiles for use against Israel in the future. "They will be used only when there is a wide-scale military assault on Lebanon," he said. Nasrallah added, though, that the group may attack Israeli positions in the Har Dov (Shaba Farms) region at any time. "We are coming out of a war now and are not in a hurry to carry out operations at the [Shaba] Farms, but this is our right and nobody can give the Israelis any security guarantees," Nasrallah said.
I am not a fan of Nasrallah, but on Olmert; he's on the money. Speaking of Ehud Olmert, here’s a short list of all the various and sundry investigations currently underway concerning his activities in Israel - apart from his "war effort".
