Why the Olmert Gang Must Go

Time to hear from Caroline Glick, the woman who should be Israel's Prime Minister.

Unable to decide what sort of war it was waging, for 34 days the government moved from tactic to tactic, strategy to strategy, never following through with anything, never realizing that there were consequences for what it was doing. And today, it follows the same model of incompetence in Gaza.

For the past two and a half years Israel has taken no effective action to end the rocket and mortar offensive against the Western Negev from Gaza. And rocket and mortar attacks have quadrupled over this period.

When Hamas seized power in Gaza in June, Israel failed to develop a strategy for dealing with the fact that an Iranian armed, trained and commanded terror group was perched on its border with Gaza and threatened to destabilize its largely undefended border with Egypt.

Still led by Olmert and Livni, who are now joined by Defense Minister Ehud Barak — the engineer of the unilateral withdrawal strategy of ceding land to terrorist groups — Israel cannot figure out what it is supposed to be doing. It has no strategic goal and so it can formulate no coherent plan.

Hat Tip: Seraphic Friend, Joel Weisz

Karen and I wish all our friends a beautiful and profound miracle in Shabbat.

The Jewish Press in New York, picks its candidates for Super Tuesday. Seraphic Secret has a great deal of respect for this fine weekly. It's one of the few Jewish newspapers in America that does not shill for the far left or the Democrats. It's also one of the few Jewish newspapers in America that's truly Jewish and not just some dopey, whatever makes you feel good at the moment pathetic excuse for Judaism that infects most American Jewish journalism.

Please sign this petition.

Here's a fine essay by screenwriter Andrew Klavan The Lost Art of War, about Hollywood's shameful spurt of anti-war, money-losing films. Via our friends at Libertas.

The New York Times will soon join Pravda in the graveyard of Jew-hating newspapers.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

1. No profanity.

2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
