#1 Peres, in a statement quoted by Israel Radio, called Ahmadinejads comments a direct threat to Israels existence.

So "clear and present danger" isn't far off. This could start moving quite fast, quite soon.

#5 "Irans president will end up like Saddam"

Not really. Unless you're talking about the future Sad-ass.

The Iranian ~~dictators~~ leadership will end up DEAD.

Hope they enjoy their 73 demons.

#6 Peres is no wimp...

"The cost of surrender always exceeds the cost of a military risk. The food of terrorism is success. The end of terrorism is failure."
Shimon Peres, Israeli Defense Minister
on the Entebbe Raid, July 1976

The Operation: On July 3rd, the Israeli cabinet convened to discuss whether or not Israel should cave in to the terrorists demands. Yet, when the cabinet opened, the Israeli Chief of Staff began outlining the plan for Operation Entebbe. At that time, four Hercules aircraft with IDF soldiers on board, took off and headed south. The discussion at the cabinet meeting continued on and at one point Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister of Israel passed a note to the Israeli Defense Minister, Shimon Peres telling him that they should begin the operation, that they could always call the operation off. Peres smiled and Rabin realized that the operation was already in process. Within an hour, the cabinet had voted unanimously to approve the operation.

Israeli Nuclear Program Pioneered by Shimon Peres

In 1953, at age 30, Shimon Peres was appointed by Israel's first prime minister, David Ben Gurion, to become Director-General of the Ministry of Defense. Within three years, Peres had laid the foundation for Israel's nuclear weapon program. He picked France as the major supplier, arranged the sale of a nuclear reactor, and spent the next decade overseeing the construction of the Dimona nuclear weapon production complex.
