Today we had the spectacle of this famed doyenne of print and 24/7 journalism broadcasting from Tel Aviv where she made every effort to force Israelis to agree that Iran is an immediate and existential threat to Israel and that Obama is a gutless p---y who doesn't really love Israel. (another movie reference - "You never really loved the emperor" No?)
There is a tremendous controversy in Israel over these points The IDF general staff is dragging its feet over the wisdom of such an attack without America in the lead and former Mossad chiefs like Dagan and Halevy are doing everything they can to stop Bibi and Barak in their rush toward war. Are the naysayers doing this because they have warm feelings for Iran? Hell no! They can see that Israel lacks the capability to cripple Iran (unless they use nuclear weapons).
The CJCS and Secdef have made their positions clear. No new war on behalf of Israel unkess they are attacked first.
I could not agree more. pl
