NUCLEAR WAR-FEAR
Impatient Mossad warns
of 'monster in the making'
'This is what we know and this is what
we'll do if you continue to do nothing'

If the visit to Washington last week by the head of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, was not enough to communicate Israel's growing impatience with the international community's failure to deal with Tehran's unchecked development of nuclear technology and bellicose threats to wipe the Jewish state "off the map," Ehud Olmert, prime minister designate, made it clear yesterday by denouncing Iran's president as a "psychopath" and comparing him to Hitler.

Mossad chief Meir Dagan, in Washington last week in preparation for a visit to the U.S. by Olmert on May 23, held secret meetings with U.S. officials to discuss Iran's nuclear program, reports the London Times. While details of the meetings were not revealed, it is believed Dagan met with his counterparts at the CIA, the Pentagon and the National Security Council.
"Dagan is not given to small talk and niceties," said an Israeli intelligence source, who believes Dagan's message to Washington policy makers was simple and blunt: "This is what we know and this is what we'll do if you continue to do nothing."
The revelation of the briefing comes in the wake of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) admission of alarming "gaps" in its knowledge of Iran's centrifuge program to enrich uranium and the level of involvement of Iran's military. Many intelligence experts believe Iran is operating a parallel nuclear program where military applications are secretly under development. Mossad reportedly claims to have evidence of enrichment sites in Iran hidden to IAEA inspectors "which can short-cut their timetable in the race for their first bomb."
"When I read the recent reports regarding Iran, I saw a monster in the making," said Dr. Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Israeli parliament's foreign and defense committee.
Steinitz, who oversees Mossad's activities in Iran, fears Iran's first nuclear bomb is just one year away. "There is only one option that is worse than military action against Iran and that is to sit and do nothing," he said.
Publically, at least, the Bush administration is still talking diplomacy and economic sanctions to achieve a "peaceful solution" following last week's IAEA report documenting Iran's non-compliance.
The U.S., Britain, France and Germany will face off this week against a resistant China and Russia over a resolution from the U.N. Security Council mandating Iran suspend its uranium enrichment. Given President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's scornful dismissal of resolutions from the U.N., something stronger, like sanctions could follow.
Russia and China, however, may scuttle any U.N. efforts to stop Iran. China just announced a $100 billion energy deal with Iran, with Beijing's ambassador declaring, "No country can prevent the deal." If the U.N. fails to act, the U.S. will seek Iran's economic isolation at the July G8 summit in St. Petersburg.
But given the fast pace at which many intelligence experts believe Iran's nuclear program is advancing, July is a long time off, especially for the Israelis who, as WorldNetDaily has reported, are already being targeted by Iran's missiles and rockets stationed in Lebanon under the control of Hezbollah surrogates.
"If we do not see any progress on the political or economic track that convinces the Iranians to back down, one of the parties will use the military option," a senior Israeli source said in Washington last week. Dragging out the negotiations indefinitely is not an option.
"Ahmadinejad speaks today like Hitler before taking power," Olmert said. "So you see, we are dealing with a psychopath of the worst kind — with an anti-Semite. God forbid that this man ever gets his hands on nuclear weapons, to carry out his threats."
Most weapons systems are improved after they've had actual combat testing.
Calling what's his face a psychopath and then doing nothing about it just make Olmert look impotent. Which he probably is. Not that Israel can't do something about it, but Olmert won't.
Powell is in wonderland if he thinks nobody will use a nuke in this century. Has he been living on the same planet as the rest of us or is he living on Fantasy Island.
Interesting, but keeping in mind it's the World Nut Daily I'm not sure it's worth a list ping. What say you guys?
The west will be more hesitant to act.
And, this has put the USA in more jeopardy.
It will take another 911 before we will act to protect our selves, it would be very hard for the President or the congress to be preemptive at this stage.
The only way to stop Iran will be through Israel, and I would think greater heads are working on this presently, or, I sure hope so in any event.
Welcome to the Hotel Armageddon.
It's never really served Jews well to rely on Gentiles for their protection.
Nor should they start to now.
They should also quit demanding that others spill their own blood and treasure on their behalf.
And he doesn't take shit from anyone.
G-d Bless Israel, India, and the United States.
Where do you see such a demand?
I have problems believing that the Mossad and others talk to World Nut Daily.
I've read articles here and there quoting Israeli Defense officials saying the US hasn't "done enough" to stop Iran.
And, did you read the entire article?
A quick search brings up 2 threads:

How many airliners were deliberate flown by hijackers into skyscrapers prior to 9/11?
Say what you will about Russian and Chinese Communist leaders, at least we must admit that we were dealing with evil but sane humans that valued their own lives and not religious fanatics who believed that dying in a fireball would earn them Paradise as long as they killed infidels like us in the process.
Sorry, describing the situation as: "... demanding that others spill their own blood and treasure on their behalf" betrays either a fundimental misunderstanding of the dynamic, or is an active attempt to find fault on par with a teenage girl attacking the girl she caught her boyfriend kissing.
Israel "demanding that others..." is no more out of line than demanding the police do their job. If the leader of the free world won't lead, it is not improper to tell that leader to "get the hell out of the way."
That is precisely what Israel is doing.
Am glad he was invited OUT by President Bush.
He sat on his rear end in D.C. and promoted telephone diplomacy.
Dr. Rice is out there, everywhere, cementing personal relationships and getting in the face of those who would attempt to harm this country's national security.
In the beginning of the first Bush term, he wanted to make head of the NSA a cabinet position but Powell balked because he did not want Dr. Rice his equal.
IMO, she's his better in every way. She even has bigger ba))$.
So it is your contention that the US has done enough to stop Iran?
I read this as being very significant!
I suspect he was invited to attend high level meetings to plan an attack on Iran. When things get hot, personal visits are made so communications will not be compromised. This is big!
