A possible conversation on war in Mideast
This is a conversation I can imagine occurred between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Joe Biden:
PMN: Hey, Biden, where are those bombs you promised me?
JB: They're on their way, Mr. Prime Minister. But, listen, Bibi, don't use them on civilians, OK?
PMN: *#@#* you, Biden. You can't tell me what to do. And I need more artillery shells.
JB: Yes, of course, but, Bibi, it just doesn't look good when you use them to flatten hospitals. Please, don't do that.
PMN: Get lost, Biden. They're my shells, or they will be when you send them, and I'll use them any way I want. And I'm running short of air-to-surface missiles. Make sure you send me some more.
JB: But, Bibi, please say you won't use them on ambulances and food aid trucks. If you do, I'll have to speak sternly to you.
PMN: Ooh, the big bad president is going to talk to me sternly. I'm shaking in my boots. While you're doing it, send some more tanks. There's only so many buildings I can flatten with the ones I've got.
JB: Well, OK Bibi, but-----
