Meir Dagan, head of the Israel Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (Mossad), predicted today that Iran was liable to obtain full nuclear capability in 2006, and operational nuclear capability within a year or two.
Dagan warned against Iran's nuclear capability in an annual review in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. He also warned that Al Qaeda terrorist units were coming close to the borders of Israel and the territories. He disclosed that these units included terrorists who had fought in Iraq, and were now attempting to undermine the stability of the regimes in Egypt and Jordan. The head of IDF military intelligence also stressed this threat in his recent briefing for the committee.
Israel is sounding the alarm about Iran, warning that it will have nuclear weapons in 2006. This is much sooner than anyone else is reporting. Israel has the most to gain from military action against Iran. Sounds to me that they are beating the war drums in hopes someone (read that Bush) will come to their rescue.
Using Bush's magic word, he also notes that "Al Qaeda" is setting up in Eqypt, Lebanon, and Syria. They describe these people as the next generation of terrorists recruited for Bush's war who are now turning their attentions towards Israel, weakening it's borders and attempting to spark conflict between Israel and it's neighbors.
