General Udi Adam resigns |
2006-09-14 |
(KUNA) -- The Israeli general who was in charge of the northern command during the recent attack on Lebanon has tendered his resignation, Maariv Israeli paper said on Wednesday. The paper added that the Northern Command Commander Major-General Udi Adam requested to resign because of disputes with the higher command of the Israeli Army, considering the resignation a sign of Adam's disagreement with Army Chief of Staff Dan Halutz. During the Israeli offensive on Lebanon, Halutz replaced Adam with another general, the west command, a decision that was unapproved by the former. Many Israelis interpreted Halutz' decision as a way to appease soldiers, stationed along the Israeli northern border with Lebanon. According to Maariv, Adam believed he did his best to prepare the northern command for the lastest war with Hezbollah. |

#4 A badge of honor for Adam, especially as Olmert is keeping Halutz. Let's hope this means he's top dog after the next election. |

#2 Olmert's sin-eater. Any resignations should start at the top. |

#1 I have to give Adam credit for having the integrity to resign. There are surely others (more deserving, and higher ranking) who should follow his example. |
