Defense Minister Barak: 'Israel is preparing for all-out war'
In this tape, the translation "concise and decisive" is incorrect. It should have been "decisive and unequivocal."Let's go to the videotape.

About Me
- Name: Carl in Jerusalem
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.

Barak's best line: "Words don't stop missiles, and [in any case,] there's nothing to talk about."
Barak talks a good game, but when push comes to shove, he is a surrender monkey.
Nein! Nein! Nischt gut!
Barak kicks butt. They even named the F-15I 's after him.
As a politician there are too many conflicting forces pulling a person in so many ways it is too difficult to judge a person in that position. Never judge a prime minister until you are in his/her shoes.
I personally prefer to see him in a defense minister role where he is more free from political pressures, free to kick some hamass.
Guys,
I agree with J. Lichty. Barak pulled the IDF out of southern Lebanon, which is what spurred the Oslo War. And when the Oslo War started, he kept shaking his fingers and doing nothing.
As a soldier, friends who served under him told me he's way over-rated. In fact, the rumor is that on the night of the battle of Sultan Yaqub - the most decisive battle of the 1982 Operation Peace for Galilee which he commanded - Barak went to sleep and no one could find him when they needed orders.
