Barak on the ball

Defense Minister and former prime minister Ehud Barak is a difficult, problematic figure but there's nothing wrong with what he says here. There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza; the "crisis" is the ongoing arms buildup and the ongoing unspeakably cruel captivity of Gilad Shalit; the flotilla is an unnecessary provocation and "I ordered the IDF to block the ships. If there is a conflict or damage, it will be the responsibility of the flotilla organizers."

And: "The Iranians have missiles that can reach far. They are continuing to develop abilities to attack. We are following the[ir current] drill and its influence."

Even some generally realistic analysts say Israel should let Iran go nuclear and then deal with the situation through a combination of missile-defense systems and deterrent threats. They say Netanyahu and Barak don't see it that way. Sure hope that's true.
