Bibi (Netanyahu) Speaks for Israel and the West
By Binyamin Netanyahu
It is possible to prevent the political and security landslide. Iran can still be stopped.
The government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is rapidly leading Israel to a political and security downfall while Iran is racing towards achieving a nuclear weapons capability.
While Iran's leaders are busy denying the Holocaust, they also continue to announce their intentions of wiping the State of Israel off the map. Israel is like a bus speeding towards an abyss. The bus driver is tired and helpless.
It is true that there hasn't been much bilateral US-Israel talk on the Iran threat. But: silence speaks. President Reagan (May the Holy Ghost Be Pleased With Him) NEVER disclosed his chosen options on defense. He relied on fait accompli. President Bush has chosen an open agenda, but that can change. Ahmadinejad won't see Summer.
Let's examine recent developments, which all have one common denominator: weak leadership.
Hizbullah and Hamas are rapidly arming themselves thanks to the Israeli government's decision to refrain from taking action against them. Since the cease-fire was declared, dozens of Kassam rockets have been fired at the western Negev. The government continues not to react.
Recently, the US secretary of defense said he was unable to rule out a possibility that Iran would launch a nuclear attack against Israel. He also noted that the US would take against Iran only as a last resort. These words raise doubts as to American intentions to bring Teheran's nuclear race to a halt. These words are not to be taken lightly.
Ahmadink does not appear to know that when you make threats, you hand deliver a pretext to the other side.
