Talk About Lack of Guts...

Here is an interesting one out of Israel National News. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is apologizing for killing terrorists - terrorists killed as they actively engaged in killing members of the Israeli military (Israeli Defense Force, or IDF). No, I am not making this up.

On behalf of the State of Israel, I would like to express my deepest regret over the incident that occurred over the weekend in which two Egyptian security personnel were killed. We have initiated a joint committee to investigate the incident; we will consider its findings. Similarly, we have instructed our security and intelligence forces to cooperate on the issue and to make every effort to prevent a recurrence of such incidents in the future.

The IDF had a different story:

Today [Friday] at around 6 AM, our forces stationed here [Mt. Saguy, close to the Israeli-Egyptian Negev-Sinai border] were attacked by a 3-man terrorist cell, which opened fire at them. They quickly took positions of cover, opened fire and killed two of the terrorists. We later found that the terrorists were dressed in uniforms of a foreign army, and were equipped with radios and Kalachnikov rifles, and undoubtedly crossed the border in order to attack our forces.

An investigation found that the terrorists had infiltrated
150 meters inside Israel. They were the first to fire and started the gun battle in which they were killed. Nine magazines of bullets were also found alongside their bodies.

I have no clue why Ohmert issued an apology to Egypt - he should apologize to his own troops.

We see so much stupidity in our Congress and among our leaders, it is refreshing to observe that other countries have their share of idiots too.
