Translating Israeli leaders

Ira Glunts just read an AFP story about the settlements and offers his translation:

Olmert — I offered to evacuate 60,000 settlers. [It was easy to do because I will not be Prime Minister long enough to implement it, but it makes me sound so reasonable. Plus my wife loves this kind of talk. By the way, have you seen Bob Simon?]
Livni — Distanced herself from the statement. [What did I tell Bob Simon on 60 Minutes? You know there is a slim chance I may be Prime Minister one day.]

Netanyahu — "I will not keep Olmert's commitments to withdraw and I won't evacuate settlements. Those understandings are invalid and unimportant." [I will be the next Prime Minister. F— Bob Simon]
