Um, you know, Israel is tops

Joe the Plumber, celebrated by conservatives as an average man simply wanting to report on “jihad”, says while in Israel that he thinks the media “should be abolished from war reporting”: North Korean officials would be most pleased with this result.

Anthony H. Cordesman, Centre for Strategic and International Studies, January 9: What is the strategic purpose behind the present fighting?
