#1 Begging Steve White's pardon, but the headline is not what the general said.

The headline was written both in this article and in the original article deliberately to misrepresent what the general actually said.

In fact, what the general did say was what most decent militaries should say in these times of military tensions. The general should be lauded for his prefessionalism and his personal restaint.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's all well and good, but...

The Israeli government's authorization of the acquisition of bunker-buster bombs and long-range fighter-bombers has fed speculation that Israel might use force against Iran if international diplomacy or the threat of sanctions do not stop it from producing nuclear weapons. When asked if there was such a plan, Shkedi replied, "You know that for obvious reasons I won't say even a word."

OK, Israel..

We heard about the "new" weapons...

Now go and microwave those mullahs and the nuke facilities... Good huntin'!
