Yes...fear mongering! the time tested Ronald Reagan method of achieving power ( those evil Russians!).
" Dagan said he believes the Iranian regime is a "very rational one," including firebrand President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."An attack on Iran before you are exploring all other approaches is not the right way," Dagan said.
"And (President Obama) said openly that the military option is on the table and he is not going to let Iran become a nuclear state, and from my experience, I usually trust the president of the US."
The Obama administration maintains that tough sanctions on Iran and diplomatic efforts need to be given more time before any resort to bombing raids.
Israeli leaders however say time is running out for any pre-emptive strike. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that sanctions against Iran have not worked, and "none of us can afford to wait much longer."
Dagan, who retired in January 2011 after eight years as director of the Israeli intelligence service, has repeatedly warned that an attack could fail to curb Iran's atomic ambitions while risking engulfing the region in conflict.
In the "60 Minutes" interview, he said he did not believe the Iranians were rushing forward to produce a bomb as they understood the consequences.
"But no doubt, they are considering all the implications of their actions," Dagan said. "They will have to pay dearly... and I think the Iranians at this point in time are... very careful on the project."
US military commanders say they have drawn up contingency plans for a potential attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta confirmed as much in an interview Thursday."
In North America, anyone who criticizes Israel is labelled a racist. But what would Fuji label this guy????????
