Ya'alon: West must be prepared to strike Iran
By ARIEH O'SULLIVAN
IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon indicated Monday that Israel and the West needed to be prepared for using "other options" against Iran if diplomatic pressures don't prevent Teheran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
"We believe that there is a chance of success when talking about the elimination of the Iranian capabilities of weapons of mass destruction, first of all using political and economic resolutions," Ya'alon told a conference on security and economics.
"From my point of view and my recommendation, this has to be used first of all. If not we have to be prepared, and I am talking about the Western community, to use other options in order to eliminate the Iranian capabilities," Ya'alon said.
Ya'alon was speaking at the annual Herzliya Conference held near Tel Aviv.
Countdown commences.
Translation:
West == Israel or the U.S.
Thats exacly what I was going to say!
Dicey situation!
"IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon indicated Monday that Israel and the West needed to be prepared for using "other options" against Iran if diplomatic pressures don't prevent Teheran from acquiring nuclear weapons. "
I sure hope the West (= USA and Israel) are preparing other options! I shudder to think what would happen if the Mad Mullahs in Tehran get nukes!
