Israeli PM hurt by his own bombast


Sounds to me like he is ranting NeoCon talking points and spinning like a top.

Israeli PM hurt by his own bombast - World - theage.com.au:

THOUGH his wartime bombast may not yet be in the same league as that of Saddam Hussein's information minister, Ehud Olmert's inflated accounts of Israel's progress has attracted growing criticism.

While trying to deliver a consistent message about Israel's imminent victory, the Prime Minister has demonstrated one of his most glaring weaknesses as leader: he is unable to refrain from overstating his aims and raising expectations of improbable triumphs.

On Wednesday, a day after declaring Israel's military successes 'unparalleled' and 'unprecedented', Hezbollah achieved milestones of its own, firing a record 200-plus missiles across northern Israel.
