Olmert yearns for “safety net” for himself

Cowed down by corruption allegations and Winograd report, Olmert signals the left he’s ready to follow their agenda. On Tuesday, Olmert asked Peretz for a plan to destroy the “illegal” Jewish settlements, outposts. The leftist appointee Olmert-baiter Mazuz triumphantly announced the change in government policy about the settlements. Ariel Sharon was provided a “safety net” against corruption allegations in exchange for withdrawing from Gaza.
