Chief of Staff Dan Halutz resigns

IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz (finally!) resigned this evening over his dismal handling of the war in Lebanon last summer. We can only hope that Ehud K. Olmert, Amir Comrade Peretz, Tzipi Feigele Livni and the entire government will soon follow.Halutz informed Olmert and Peretz this evening, and planned to tell the IDF General Staff tomorrow morning, but issued a statement just after midnight
