I posted a more recent follow-up to this report, which points out that
Olmert is a corrupted leader whose popularity is waning fast.
Bush - hugely unpopular
Olmert - ditto
Blair - ditto
Maliki - ditto
Ahmadinejad - goin' down the slope, too, with more clerics voicing
opposition.
Hmmmm...what do you suppose might happen with all this political
desperation? (as the Comet runs...)
And, if you caught Blitzer's interview with Dickie C. yesterday, this
immensely unpopular grump lost his temper over a question about his gay
daughter and new granddaughter. Sure, it was a set-up to get him to
react on a sore issue, but he has much to lose now...NONE OF THEM DO.
Jeeeez...scary leaders, scary times....

PM: Israel will act vs. Iran 'with all our means'

The Associated Press

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 01.25.2007

HERZLIYA, Israel =E2=80=94 Prime Minister Ehud Olmert devoted one of hi=

important policy speeches of the year Wednesday to a single topic =E2=

Iran =E2=80=94 saying Israel would respond to a nuclear threat "with al=

means at our disposal."
Addressing an annual security conference in this seaside city, he said
the international community has no choice but to act forcefully against
Iran and its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly called
for the Jewish state's destruction.
"When the leader of a country announces, officially and publicly, his
country's intention to wipe off the map another country, and creates
those tools which will allow them to realize their stated threat, no
nation has the right to even to weigh its position," Olmert said.
"It is the obligation of every country to act against this with all its
might."
Iran has insisted its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but
Israel believes its goal is to build nuclear weapons that could
threaten the Jewish state's existence.
Olmert has made similar declarations before. But Israel has been vague
about whether it would be willing to carry out military strikes against
Iran, though it has not ruled them out.
"The Jewish people, with the scars of the Holocaust fresh on its body,
cannot afford to allow itself to face threats of annihilation once
again," Olmert said.
"Anyone who threatens us, who threatens our existence, must know that
we have the determination and capability of defending ourselves,
responding with force, discretion and with all the means at our
disposal," he added.
