The Perfect Metaphor For The Lebanon War

Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz scans the horizon, keenly surveying the front.  Watch out, Hizbullah–he’s watching you! Or not, as the case may be. 

The jokes about Olmert’s government and its foreign and military policies write themselves.

Update: I half-expect one of the usual suspects to write an article saying, “See?  Compared to defense ministers in other countries, Rumsfeld is a genius!  We should feel blessed to have had someone as SecDef who was relatively so much more competent than Amir Peretz.  Obviously, this episode proves that the Rumsfeld-haters are evil traitors–as we always knew they were!”
