Sharon wake-up – Olmert’s in a coma!

I was told this joke made the rounds of Israelis while the Israel-Lebanon was raged. I am reminded of it now after reading this report from the Jerusalem Post:

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Monday that he would consider allowing Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to beef up his loyalist forces with troops stationed in neighboring Jordan.

Palestinian officials said last week that Abbas wanted to bring in the forces ahead of a possible showdown with Hamas. Israel has objected in the past to letting members of the Jordan-based Badr Brigade enter Palestinian areas. But on Monday, Olmert told the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that he would consider allowing such a move, said committee member Ran Cohen.

I have heard of turning the other check but this is like slicing your own jugular and saying; watch me bleed out! I have no idea if the Israelis have an impeachment process but the idea should be taken under serious consideration before there is no state left.
