Israeli soldiers demand Olmert resign – "Hundreds of Israelis, including soldiers back from fighting in Lebanon, gathered last night outside the Knesset to demand a state inquiry into the government's management of the war and to call for the resignations of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz. Earlier, reserve soldiers signed a petition that slammed Olmert's handling of the war as "indecisive" and accused the Israeli leadership of changing course several times during the country's military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, placing soldiers lives at risk."
