Assaulting the Spire

When the top spy agency in Israel says something like this I tend to pay real close attention.

Why? Because Mossad is just that awesome. Not to mention everyone one of their neighbors are pretty much enemies so I’m pretty sure they have a handle on keeping an eye on what the other sides are trying to accomplish. Why would we even question what Israel was saying anyways? Hasn’t the President of Iran come out and said numerous times “We want to wipe out Israel”?  and have they not been enriching uranium and continuously telling the U.N. to shut up and back off because they are just going to keep making the stuff anyways?

Apparently all of this suspicious activity isn’t suspicious to the U.N. at all, but considering we’re talking about the same organization that just sits on its thumbs and pretends everything is rosy while Rwanda was falling in to turmoil and while Darfur is still worse for wear. I don’t expect the U.N. councils to do much but thats because they have a track record of never getting anything done. Ever.

Here is a bit from the article:

Israel’s Mossad spy agency estimates Iran will develop a nuclear weapon within three years and continue to provide rockets to regional armed groups, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Mossad director Meir Dagan, in an intelligence assessment presented to Israel’s powerful foreign affairs and defense committee on Monday, said the Jewish state would face increased threats on all fronts, Maariv daily said.

Face increased threats on all fronts? Considering this is from an Israeli source I find that a bit of an understatement. If Iran was to really gain the ability to launch a functional nuclear weapon I would think that Israel would be dealing with more than just “increased threats”.

Tehran has always insisted its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.

Ok, sure, if you buy that then I have some seriously awesome imaginary real estate to sell you. Trust me….the view is gorgeous.

Long story short, we might need to pay attention when Israel’s top spies are telling everyone to keep a freakin eye on the Iranians because I honestly do believe that they are trying to make a bomb and will do whatever they can to get it completed, and if they do I bet that more than just Israel will have to deal with them.

Honestly, I have to question why we haven’t done anything about them sooner. Why did we go in to Iraq when we should have headed full steam in to Tehran? Probably logistics or some diplomatic event that we wanted to avoid, and even though removing Saddam was a good idea it’s ALSO a good idea to remove Ahmadenijad as well.
