It's true that many want to get rid of Olmert, including those who oppose further territorial concessions at this stage. However, that's hardly the root of it, as there seem to be mounting evidence for wrong-doings spanning over years and years.
I'm afraid, together with many others, that Olmert could rush into hasty political decisions in order to deflect the growing criticism of his personal conduct. When similar allegations against Sharon surfaced he ended up pulling out of Gaza, which we have since learned was a mistake at least in the way it was carried out.
