More Israel war talk about Iran

Headline: Ashkenazi in U.S.: IDF must prepare to strike Iran.

Story:

The IDF chief told Ross that Israel would not tolerate a nuclear Iran. He said that a diplomatic approach to Iran's contentious nuclear program must be taken first, but said Israel must also prepare for other possibilities.

It would really be better if there was less public talk about this, as every such utterance is echoed by anti-Israel forces in the US who think the major problem of US diplomacy is how to preventIIsrael from attacking Iran. It is doubtful that Israel has a concrete plan for an effective attack.

While in New York, Ashkenazi attended an event sponsored by the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces and attended by some 1,500 donors.

 The dinner mentioned in this report was supposedly cancelled because of Ashkenazi's early return.
