Olmert dice que los estados que estaban bajo la constante amenaza de Saddam e Irak tienen una perspectiva diferente del efecto que tuvo esa operación militar y que él admira "el sentido de misión" que tiene Bush, su coraje y determinación para modificar el medio Oriente.
In my opinion President Bush will emerge in history as the person who had more courage to change the Middle East than any person before him. I know the war in Iraq is controversial in the States, but for us in the Middle East it has made a great and significant impact. The decision of the President made an enormous impact on the lives of Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians—every country who was the potential target of the aggression of Iraq and Saddam Hussein. The sense of mission that Bush feels about war on terror is of enormous significant. When I think from the perspective of an Israeli and who is the partner, the natural partner who I speak with about fighting terror, it's President Bush
Pero parece que Iran esta pidiendo la invasión, que la necesita.
Mira, mira, no te tengo miedo.
¿Qué le pasa por su cabecita calenturienta?
Y los gringos casualmente van a hacer pruebas en esa región.
Iran has been conducting a sort of grand military parade up and down the Gulf this week, displaying its defensive hardware, test-firing sophisticated-sounding new weapons systems, and proclaiming its readiness to repel all would-be aggressors. Revolutionary Guard General Yahya Rahim Safavi, commander of the "Great Prophet" exercises, declared that Iran was now able to "confront any extra-regional invasion".
Parading its own capabilities, the US has meanwhile made a point of publicising tests in Nevada of "deep penetration" bunker-buster bombs that could be used against underground nuclear facilities. And moving perilously close to "enemy lines", it plans its own naval exercises in the Gulf next month. The codename? Arabian Gauntlet.
