Deputy IDF chief, top US military official discuss Iran
Source: Ynetnews

IDF Deputy Chief of Staff Major-General Dan Harel met this past weekend with the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, to discuss the Iranian threat, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.

The meeting took place as part of the Meeting of NATO and Partner Chiefs of Defense in Brussels. According to sources, new information regarding Iran’s nuclear efforts cancel out the conclusions reached by the American National Intelligence Estimate, published in December.

<...>

Political officials in Jerusalem said on Saturday, that Israel and the US agreed on vigorous activity against Iran’s nuclear program. According to them, the treatment of the Iranian threat will be much more effective after all the options are placed on the table and the Iranians need to be much more worried now.

The officials added that Bush’s declarations are backed-up. “The strategic coordination regarding Iran is at its peak. In face-to-face meetings, issues of utmost importance were concluded and will always be kept secret."

3. I always have the same question.
When is Israel mobilizing? It never seems important enough to make Israel mobilize, just America. Strange that. It almost makes me think that the whole thing is a chimera, and Israel just wants to be the hegemonic power, we want oil, and everybody in the International elite wants to make money by war profiteering. If your state was hanging by its fingernails, the first thing you would rationally do, is mobilize.

God Bless America.
