    Israeli Defence Minister in binoculars gaffe

    Israeli newspapers have printed photos of Defence Minister Amir Peretz trying to watch military manoeuvres through binoculars with the lens caps still on. According to the photographer, Mr Peretz looked through the capped binoculars three times, nodding as Gen Ashkenazi explained what was in view

    obviously they're special anti glare filters. very effective apparently.
    Actual morality is doing what is right regardless of what you're told. Religious morality is doing what you're told, regardless of if it's right.

    Minister Peretz: Tell me General how does the overall situation appear to you?

    Gen Ashkenazi: It's not as Black as it looks.

    Minister Peretz: Well it sure looks Black enough to me!
