Chins are wagging over the what is being called a slip-up by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. According to the New York Times, during an interview with a German cable news channel, Olmert reportedly said-
“Iran openly, explicitly and publicly threatens to wipe Israel off the map. Can you say that this is the same level, when they are aspiring to have nuclear weapons as America, France, Israel, Russia?” [Italics by Th' Gaussling]
Oops! How do you say “Faux pas” in Hebrew?
It’s kind of silly that this is even an issue. For quite some time the only real questions have been- 1) How many coats of Turtle Wax are on the bomb casings? And, 2) Did they buy the extended warranty?
It’s an open question as to whether or not speaking publicly about its nukes enhances their deterrent effect for Israel. Look at that fetid Stalinist shrimp, Kim Jung Il. He waves his nuclear capability around like a brain damaged test monkey with a turd on a stick. And, of course, we afford him the courtesies alloted to a brain damaged test monkey. A’hem.
