The One Hour Cease-Fire

Those Palestinians sure know how to run a cease-fire. This one lasted nearly an hour:

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has instructed Israel's security forces to show restraint Sunday despite repeated Palestinian violations of a cease-fire that came into effect earlier in the day.

Olmert, speaking at an inauguration ceremony for a new high school in southern Israel, said he wanted to give the cease-fire a chance to succeed.

Olmert "gave the security forces instructions to show restraint and to try and give the cease-fire the possibility to succeed," said Miri Eisin, Olmert's spokeswoman.

Olmert still hasn't figured out that restraint will get his people killed. Look at all the good it did them in Lebanon earlier this year.
