Do You Remember Where We Parked the Tank?

This is scary !!! According the Jerusalem Post one of its reporters were able to climb into a fully stocked IDF Armored vehicle left in the middle of a deserted field near the Gaza border. And it was the second time this week that a reporter found an abandoned armed vehicle. Granted reporters are supposed to be good at sneaking into places, but so are terrorists. Hey Olmert, how bout remembering where you parked the tank !

A Jerusalem Post reporter was able to climb into one of 17 armored fighting vehicles left unguarded barely half a kilometer from a Gaza suburb and half that distance from the border fence - with ammunition and various other military equipment inside - start the engine and move it a few meters without being interrupted on Thursday.

……This is the second such case reported by the media this week. On Monday, Channel 10 showed two AFVs that were left untended near Tel Faher, on the road leading up to the Golan Heights.

This case, however, is much more serious, due to the large number of vehicles abandoned so close to Gaza at a time the IDF units is operating there.

According to the report, the officials said that during her recent trip to Israel, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice raised the issue with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, adding that US diplomats have also recently complained to the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

"They are being treated as Arabs and not Americans," one senior official was quoted by CNN as saying. "They basically treat them as second-class citizens."

I don't know what they are complaining about...They won't let Jews up to the Temple Mount to pray.
