with a whimper

Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman (Avigdor is, of course, Hebrew for "Joe") recently said, in public, that the US and EU had given Israel the green light to bomb Iran.

The response in the Western media was immediate, strong, and unequivocal... silence. A Google News search for "avigdor lieberman iran" turned up a whopping 39 articles, only 15 of which dealt with the revelation, and the only non-Israeli one being - I am not making this up - Wonkette.

So we are about to watch the Middle East burst into flames, and the only coverage here is in the ass-fucking blog.

Sweet.
