AP Story Seemingly Seriously Mirepresents Ariel Sharon on Iran:
[1]Brendan Loy reports:
The Associated Press reports, in an article that's currently being
given top billing by Drudge, that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon told CNN he has ruled out a preemptive strike against Iran's
possible nuclear facilities.
Sharon Rules Out Attacking Iran Over Nukes
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel will not mount a unilateral attack aimed at
destroying Iran's nuclear capability, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon said Wednesday in a CNN-TV interview.
Sharon said he did not see "unilateral action" as an option. He
said Israel did not need to lead the way on the Iran nuclear
weapons issue, calling for an international coalition to deal with
it.
The only problem is, reading the actual transcript of the interview
in question, I don't see where he says any of that . . . .
Thanks to [2]Kausfiles for the pointer.
