Dempsey Claims Israel Satisfied The US Will Use Military Option Against Iran. DEBKAfile: Israel Doesn’t Say This -- Debka
Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint US Chiefs of Staff, flew out of Israel Wednesday, April 2, from three days of talks with Israeli leaders, asserting: “I think they are satisfied we have the capability [to use a military option against Iran]. I think they believe we will use it.”
Debkafile sources tracking his talks did not receive that impression from Israeli officials. They did not subscribe to his statement that “Israel and the United States are in broad agreement about the threat that Iran poses to the region and how to deal with it.”

My Comment: I sometimes post stories from Debka .... and I am always voicing my skepticism on what they are reporting. But this story is more detailed than usual .... and from my vantage point I have the impression that someone is sending out a message that these U.S. - Israeli talks were not as successful as it is being portrayed .... including (maybe) even accusing America's top General that he actually lied and/or was deceitful on the critical issue of Iran.
I read Debka all the time and yes you really do have to take it all with a pinch of salt but they have been spot on for a lot of things, with many a scoop before anyone else so it can't be dismissed as all pure sensationalism...
ReplyDeleteHowever, there is no way in hell Israel would put complete faith in any country but their own.
If this is what it takes for the US to satisfy their own concerns, fine...
I am sure Israel is satisfied that the US has the capability [to use a military option against Iran].
Equally Israel is satisfied that they too have the capability as well but in a different way..
Are they satisfied the US will use it?
Hah, that's the joke of the times isn't it...
The powerful phrase 'Never again' springs to mind..
I'll chime in on Debka, they've been spectacularly right and just as wrong, but you cannot ignore them. I think Israel has an awareness of what this Administration is capable of doing to it's allies. I just hope Bibi knows what he's doing.
