Meir Dagan: Don't attack Iran's nukes
There's been a lot of speculation here in Israel about why former Mossad chief Meir Dagan has become the pied piper for not attacking Iran's nuclear facilities. The consensus seems to be that he is angry at Prime Minister Netanyahu for not renewing his contract after the Mahmoud al-Mabhouh fiasco, in which the Mossad got their man, but the Mossad was shown to have used Israelis' passports from other countries to get into Dubai.In the latest installment of Dagan's revenge, he is being interviewed on 60 Minutes Sunday night, and he says that Israel should forget about attacking Iran's nuclear program.
I have a preview of the interview that has been posted by CBS. I hope to have the rest for you first thing Monday morning Israel time (if not sooner).
In the meantime, let's go to the videotape.
There is no way that Iran is rational. And there's no way the Saudis are going to convince anyone to attack Iran or that Obama will attack Iran. No way.
YNet claims that Dagan wants to foment regime change in Tehran.
"It's our duty to help anyone who likes to present an open opposition against their regime in Iran," the former head of Israel's intelligence service stated. He refused to say whether Israel had supported the youth groups that held demonstrations across Iran after the last round of Iranian elections.I'll have more for you Sunday night or Monday morning.

Ah, well. I have devolved into being a cynic. Anybody in Israel (or the U.S.) who defers to Obama on your national security... I would check their investment portfolio to see whether they will personally benefit from the Obama billions in stimulus ca$h that is being thrown at Israel's "green energy" companies. Also, will their investments benefit from Obama's use of the U.S. regulatory regime (EPA, DOJ, DOI, etc.) to shut down and dismantle existing or identified traditional U.S. energy sources (O&G, Nuc, etc.) that compete with the "renewables" that Israel is promoting (although your own drill baby drill offshore is revealing). I'm all in favor of, and have in fact promoted these new sources, but you guys have no idea what is happening out here and it is a disappointment to see Israel's involvement in it.
It is important to note that Meir Dagan’s opinion on Iranian mullahs’ and Ahmadinejad’s rationality runs counter the opinion of leading scholars of Islam like Bernard Lewis and Raphael Israeli and former CIA spy Reza Kahlili who spent 10 years among the Revolutionary Guards. Since all four have authority whose opinion should not be taken lightly, what is one to do? Well, take the worst case scenario. Since the stakes are so high ( destroying 2/3 of humankind in order to bring about the return of the Mahdi) even a 5 percent probability that they are irrational is unacceptable.
