Gabi Ashkenazi completely revived and rejuvenated the army after the disastrous term of Dan Halutz and the 2nd Lebanon fiasco. <br /><br />Ashkenazi is probably one of the only men who deserve to be Chief of Staff, and who should remain in that position until the Iranian threat is clarified.anniehttp://discardedlies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-46864827343593578992010-08-13T00:42:19.690+03:002010-08-13T00:42:19.690+03:00Gabi Ashkenazi is going to walk out of the door so...Gabi Ashkenazi is going to walk out of the door soon anyway.

If Islamists tried to bring religion into the public sphere they would stage a coup, make the Islamists "disappear" and put a new secular government in place.<br />Erdogan and his thugs countered this by neutering the army, wiping out its secular upper echelons and Islamisizing it.
