The blinded Defense Minister /a head tax on polluters

FROM EVEN BEFORE HE WAS APPOINTED,I EXPRESSED MY DEEP RESERVATIONS ABOUT APPOINTING AMIR PERETZ TO THE POST OF DEFENSE MINISTER.
His record during the war was less than admirable!
However one picture is worth a thousand words.This past Friday,Israeli papers had a picture of him at the frontlines with Syria.Three times he looked through his binoculars and nodded in agreement,as the professionals explained the landscape.
THE PROBLEM!
The covers were still on the binoculars,and all he saw was darkness.
ENOUGH SAID!

===========================================================================

Beware of the United Nations placing a carbon head tax on each American.=The goal redistribution of wealth-a global socialism.
Each candidate for President,should be forced to sign a pledge that they will never agree to such a tax.
In addition, I do not understand the concept of allowing companies,countries or individuals who pollute the environment,be absolved by buying credits from less active polluters.It sounds like a trick to allow the wealthy to get away with pollution.
The savings acrued by conservation,should go to the planet's benefit,not to some fat cat with an SUV who can afford to purchase credits.
