Olmert: Israel may target Hezbollah leader
2006-08-06
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has not ruled out an assassination attempt on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah by the Israeli military, in an interview with a German newspaper to be published on Sunday. Olmert told the weekly Welt am Sonntag that the normal rules of war did not apply to Nasrallah, who was not a head of state but "the chief of a terrorist organisation". Nasrallah could not expect to be treated like a legitimate leader, Olmert said, while adding that he was not waging a "personal war against anyone in particular".

Nice to see that Olmert's still firing on all cylinders. Faster, please.

#7  Olmert should never have said that he was tired of war earlier.

“We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies….” -- Israel's Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert

#5  Different language use. I think PM Olmert is using may in the literal sense of is permitted to, rather than meaning might possibly.

#4  Adminadinnerjacket and Pencil Neck deserve the same thing, too, as Nasrallah. They support terrorists---they get taken out. And all these screaming mullahs. Once the leadership is culled, things will get quieter....all over the world.
