| [Haaretz] Publication of commander's name and picture looks like a signal his life may end soon. But can Israel really stop Iran from becoming a regional superpower? What the Israeli army calls the "war between the wars" has undergone a radical change in recent months. The idea of the war between the wars was developed late last decade and involved the need to operate, even far beyond Israel’s borders, to contain enemy terrorist and guerrilla organizations in the hope that such steps would postpone the next war ‐ or at least weaken these groups when war did break out. These operations usually were conducted with a "small signature": late-night bombings and ‐ at least according to foreign sources ‐ mysterious deaths that no one claimed the credit for. Former air force chief Amir Eshel told Haaretz in August that in recent years, Israel has operated almost 100 times to prevent the arming of enemy groups. |

| #1 But can Israel really stop Iran from becoming a regional superpower? Given a simpatico (one who won't order US air assets in the region to actively protect Iran) POTUS, why not? |
