The commanders of the IDF, especially those in the Air Force, are making "increasingly loud" demands to strike Iran's nuclear program, a German news source reported Wednesday.
According to Der Spiegel, the question of how Israel will eventually deal with the threat of a nuclear Iran depends in part on a battle of prestige between the military and the Mossad – the latter being in charge of assassinations, and favoring them as a result. Mossad is behind the killings of three Iranian scientists in the last 18 months, the paper claimed.
A fourth scientist was wounded and subsequently appointed to head Iran's nuclear commission.
According to "sources in Israeli intelligence," the targeted assassinations are part of a campaign to sabotage or slow down Iran's nuclear program. The alleged campaign also involves the Stuxnet computer virus.
"But for hardliners in the Israeli military, the covert action does not go far enough," wrote Spiegel's Ulrike Putz. "The calls for bombing Iran are getting louder and louder, especially among Israeli Air Force officers." She added:
"Until now, Mossad experts have been able to convince decision-makers that the construction of an Iranian bomb can best be delayed through attacks on key figures and nuclear facilities. But it is unclear how long Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will continue to follow this advice. Politicians in Jerusalem know well that Mossad is also pursuing its own interests when it argues that its agents should play the leading role in the struggle against Iran."
"As long as Mossad is leading the fight against the bomb, it will get the big budgets," the source told the newspaper. And the question of whether Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities will partly depend on the internal power struggle between the IDF and Mossad.

I’m inclined to nuke Iran.
If we had a responsible government, we would have our planes standing in reserve to help protect Israel.
I could fly a mothballed F-117. Been in the cockpit once.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Its too bad the “west” is relying on Israel to maintain peace, freedom and democracy.
Perhaps the rest of the world does not see the threat. Maybe the muslims have masked it for us.
The “free world” better wake up, cuzzz, whatever happens to Israel happens to the west.
If we had a responsible government, the Shah would still be in power and the world would be a VASTLY different place.
The correct answer is all three.
1. Mossad should continue to assassinate as many Iranian nuclear scientists as possible.
2. The Israeli military should take down the Iranian nuclear weapons program in a more spectacular and large-scale manner than what Mossad can accomplish.
3. The United States military should stand ready to back Israel up (except we have an anti-Semitic bigot in our White House who is cheering for the other side).
Right now Mossad is probably the better way to go.
A strike on Iran - I don’t think the average American has even contemplated how much worse everyday life is going to be here once that happens.
I’m inclined to nuke Iran...
It worked in Japan. (a little poetry)
“The “free world” better wake up, cuzzz, whatever happens to Israel happens to the west.”
But first it happens to Israel, and the usual suspects say,”well, it serves them right for occupying the west bank,” or “Joooz! are always having things like that happen to them. It doesn’t affect us, though.” Socialists believe that the masses are “mystified” by the power elite. They oughta know.

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."Those words actually mean something.
“If it is true that they failed to get him the first time, they’ll get him the next time.”
It’s like being the Darth Vader’s Admiral.
No, but I flew F-16s for a decade and still train US pilots on how to use certain targeting systems (and consequently I am flight-checked for the F-15 and F-18).
If at first you don’t succeed...
in that case, thank you for your service!
