Unite against Iran? Is he trying to have one of those "Nixon Goes to China" moments?

Peres is nuts, he is so hell bent on appeasing the Palestinians that he is willing to sacrifice his own homeland to do it, and he thinks he has the political capital to mobilize popular will against Iran? Good grief!

Peres is like the tree that falls in the forest when no one sees it. Does it even make a noise? Peres and Olmert will fall in a few weeks in a change of government.

I know one way to make the world take notice...

Tell anyone and everyone that if Israel is attacked, ALL of Iran’s oil fields will be destroyed and made permanently uninhabitable. Too many others, who are dependent on Iranian oil would certainly have reason to smack down Ajchmedinanutjob.

A threat of destroying Iran’s oil fields if the world won’t stand up to its responsibilities would certainly get every bodies attention. Do something or oil goes to $300 a barrel....

If only that were true. Ohlmert is the Richard Nixon of Israel. He does nothing right but keeps himself in power. He is shameless. Peres is worse. And the Israelis are stupid enough to put up with them. Sadly a marriage arranged in hell.
