“The only thing that might save us is if John Kerry wins the Nobel Prize and leaves us be,” Yaalon was quoted as saying.

His office would neither confirm nor deny the comments in Yediot, “The defense minister had no intention to cause any offense to the secretary, and he apologizes if the secretary was offended by words attributed to the minister,” the statement read.

not sure what is so offensive about his remarks. can anyone else figure it out?

I'd like to have dinner with this guy in my house.

I like anyone who straight talks, but especially this guy. And I like that he gave Kerry one of his own liberal-type apologies right back in his face.

"I'm sorry that you were offended" That's a GREAT "apology" to send his way.
