Breaking: Israeli Prime Minister Announces Resignation
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel Radio says Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has told his Cabinet that he will resign.
The report did not say when Olmert would submit his official letter of resignation to President Shimon Peres.
Olmert made the announcement just days after his governing Kadima Party elected Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to replace him as party chairman. Olmert is being forced from office by a corruption scandal.
Olmert’s departure will clear the way for Livni to try to cobble together a new coalition government.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Tzipi Livni is ex Mossad - favorite quote about her I read last week,
“A former lawyer, army captain and one-time agent in the Mossad spy agency, Livni favors diplomacy over confrontation, even though she said last week that she has “no problem pulling the trigger when necessary.”
Yea, let’s hope that Vice President Palin invites her over for a hunting trip in Alaska next year.
