Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen wrapped up his lightning trip to Israel on Monday, leaving the IDF with a feeling that Israel does not stand alone in the face of the Iranian nuclear threat, despite a recent American intelligence report.

--
Throughout the day, Mullen received briefings from IDF brass, including OC Military Intelligence Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin and OC Planning Maj.-Gen. Ido Nehushtan.

Mullen also received a briefing from OC Air Force Maj.-Gen. Elazar Shkedy on the recent Israeli air strike on what foreign reports say was a nuclear reactor in northern Syria. He also met with OC Ground Forces Command Maj.-Gen. Benny Gantz, who will be leaving for Washington in the coming weeks to take up his new position as IDF military attaché to the US.

--
Despite the recent National Intelligence Estimate that claimed Iran had frozen its nuclear military program, the US still perceived Iran as a major threat to the region, Mullen's spokesman said. He said Mullen was aware that the NIE report claimed Iran had tried to develop nuclear weapons in the past, was enriching uranium and was a key supporter of terrorist groups in the region.

2. Not Israel, But It's Warmongering Leadership

It's time these folks stop hiding behind their nation the way they do. Conflating their desires with that of a nation's populace is pretty damn transparent.
