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.

But, one Israeli paper pointed out that he is not the first prominent official to make this mistake. According to the daily
Yediot Ahronot, US President George W Bush and former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon have both done the same thing.
These guys have been accused in the past of having "
tunnel vision," but this beats that by a country mile!
