Israel urged the White House on Thursday to work with Al Qaeda and the remnants of Saddam Hussein's regime to crack down on Iraqi terrorism as a new wave of violence threatened efforts to stabilize Iraq.
"The United States has a right to defend herself but the U.S. needs to take into account the effect that actions they take have on the reconstruction of Iraq," Israeli spokesman Dore Gold told reporters.
Sounds like Israel is just trying to show us what it is like to be on the receiving end of such silly advice, such as when the US urges "restraint" when a suicide bomber blows up 20 people on a bus, or the AP uses headlines like (paraphrasing here) 'Hamas Withdraws From Truce in Reaction to Israeli Strike"
