According to Olmert's office the two leaders talked about regional and bilateral issues and looked to advance relations between their nations.

The conversation came after Syrian President Bashar Assad arrived in Russia Wednesday for a two-day visit during which he is seeking to purchase weapons, including long-range anti-aircraft missiles. Assad has reportedly offered to allow Moscow to deploy Russian Iskander missiles in its territory. The Iskander (known by NATO as the SS-26 Stone) is a short-range, solid fuel-propelled missile system.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall when Medvedev calls the new Israeli PM in 6 months.

Hello, is this Mr. Netanyahu?

Yes it is you stinking commie bastidge. Do you see any bombers approaching your position yet? No? Look out the window!

[ConservativeMan55]

Netanyahu.

Can’t wait for him to be back in office where he belongs.

He is an excellent leader.

I still remember the address he gave after 911.

“And, uhh, by the way, Dmitri... Since you seem to be having a major population decline which is probably why you’re in this PR mess to begin with... Whaddya say we put an end to all this “let our people go” nonsense and send back some of y’alls KBa3N EBpeN ?” (no4TN EBpeN: Quasijude.) /s.

Israel looks out for Israel (as they should, since that is their job).

And I believe him! Medvedev has a nice paisley tie, and Olmert has a nice noose tie, as in rope, hemp, neckbreaker, the old dropknot.
