Israeli newspapers have printed photos of Defence Minister Amir Peretz trying to watch military manoeuvres through binoculars with the lens caps still on.

Mr Peretz was inspecting troops in the Golan Heights with the Israeli army's new chief of staff, Gen Gabi Ashkenazi.

According to the photographer, Mr Peretz looked through the capped binoculars three times, nodding as Gen Ashkenazi explained what was in view.

Analysts say it is a new blow for the embattled defence minister.

Mr Peretz's popularity has fallen in the wake of last year's war against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.

But one Israeli paper pointed out that he is not the first prominent official to make this mistake.

According to daily Yediot Ahronot, US President George W Bush and former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon have both done the same thing.

What a prick - Why did he not just say, "I can't see anything"Huh?

It's like when George Dubya was asked what the name of the Pakistani Foreign Minister  was. Instead of saying that the name escaped him at that precise moment in time, which would have been ok really and pretty much all he could say, he came out with, "I know the answer but I don't want to tell you".  Total cock. :roll:
