Pressure mounts on Olmert to quit

Similar to America with Senate Armed Services Committee and President Bush, Israel's former military chief launched a devastating attack on the country's leadership on Thursday, calling for the prime minister and the top general to quit over failings in the Lebanon war.
The challenge from Moshe Ya'alon, who was Israel's chief of staff until June last year, comes as several senior figures, including the prime minister, the president and the justice minister, face accusations in a series of embarrassing scandals over corruption and impropriety.
