War report blasts Israeli PM for 'serious failure'
A government commission on Monday blasted Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and top army brass for "serious failure" in handling the Lebanon war, dealing a heavy blow to his flagging leadership.
Reading from partial findings of an investigation, retired judge Eliyahu Winograd held Olmert, Defence Minister Amir Peretz and former chief of staff Dan Halutz principally responsible for the failures of the 34-day conflict.
