How many times have we heard Israeli generals and politicians say that we wouldn't let Iran get nuclear weapons, that we would NEVER allow another Auschwitz?  There is NO DOUBT that the Islamo-Nazis of Iran would launch their nukes against Israel (G-d forbid)...and we have NO strategic depth, remember.  So, what is it we keep talking about to the American government?  They won't even give us the IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) codes to fly over Iraq (to prevent Israel from having to shoot down American planes on the way to Iran). 

But still we meet....the Zyklon-B is being loaded, and this time, we're just watching it happen...And, the reason that Israel doesn't fire their nuclear arsenal is???? 

Maybe there's something I'm missing....but I didn't miss anything with the surrender of the Sinai, or the Oslo Accords, or Gush Katif, may it be speedily rebuilt.  Are we waiting for the Assyrians, oops...I mean the Americans to change their minds and save us????  American "military intelligence" has become an oxymoron, so what's left to discuss with them?

IDF to US: Israel Closing In on Taking Military Aim at Iran

(IsraelNN.com) IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi gave United States officials fresh intelligence information on an Iranian nuclear facility during his “working visit” this week, according to the Saudi Arabia daily Al Watan.

The newspaper quoted sources that claimed Lieutenant-General Ashkenazi told American officials that Israel is preparing for a military attack. He added that the government still prefers to see if the Western world’s diplomatic pressures can succeed in stopping the growing threat that Iran soon will manufacture a nuclear weapon.

The new information concerned the facility in Arak, where a heavy water nuclear reactor is estimated to be operating. Iran also is building the Bushehr nuclear reactor at Natanz, where scientists will be able to enrich uranium that can be used for a bomb.

However, Lt.-Gen. Ashkenazi met only with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Special Middle East Envoy on Iran Dennis Ross and National Security Advisor, General James Jones.

He did not meet with his counterpart, Admiral Michael Mullen, or with Defense Secretary Robert Gates. He cut short his planned five-day visit ostensibly to attend the Cabinet meeting on the collapse of negotiations for freeing kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit.

The IDF general’s trip coincided with the publication of a report by a Washington-based think tank that Israel could use “Jericho” ballistic missiles to destroy or at least damage Iranian nuclear facilities at Natanz, Isfahan and Arak.

The missiles can hit a target with an error margin of only several feet. The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated that Israel has 42 Jericho missiles, and that their use is “much more feasible than using combat aircraft.”

Iran has buried its nuclear sites deep underground, making them a difficult target for aerial bombing.

However, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner told the Reuters news agency that the Natanz facility is so heavily fortified that an effective attack would require the use of bombs dropped into a hole created by a missile strike.
