IDNS: Cabinet Meeting On Iran Dramatically Adjourns Over Media Leak
September 5, 2012 13:38 by Pesach BensonIranian Atomic Urgency
Michael Hayden
• Ex-CIA director Michael Hayden told Haaretz that the US is the only country capable of successfully striking Iran. The interview’s behind a paywall, but the Daily Mail summarizes:
He explained that because any thorough attack on Iran would not be a one-time event and would require repeated efforts, the United States would be better equipped because ‘Israel’s resources are more limited’ than America’s.
• AP, Reuters, CNN and Jeffrey Goldberg look at the Israel-US disconnect.
• Ahmadinejad admits Iran’s “having some problems in selling oil.”
• The Christian Science Monitor rounds up the who’s who of Israeli opposition to attacking Iran. Capsule soapbox summaries of Meir Dagan, Yuval Diskin, Gabi Ashkenazi, Shimon Peres, and Shaul Mofaz. I wonder if they’ll offer a parallel roundup of the Israelis supporting an attack.
Arab Spring Winter
• According to the NY Times, Iran resumed flying military to supplies to Syria over Iraqi airspace.
The Obama administration pressed Iraq to shut down the air corridor that Iran had been using earlier this year, raising the issue with Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki of Iraq. But as Syrian rebels gained ground and Mr. Assad’s government was rocked by a bombing that killed several high officials, Iran doubled down in supporting the Syrian leader. The flights started up again in July and, to the frustration of American officials, have continued ever since.
• Egypt replaces tanks with armored vehicles in Sinai.
• Tsk tsk. Pro-Assad hackers attacked Al-Jazeera’s Arabic web site.
• Turkish public opinion is turning against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his AKP party for their handling of the Syrian uprising. The Wall Street Journal explains why:
- “More than 82,000 Syrians have now sought refuge in Turkey, at a cost of around $300 million to the Turkish government.”
- Emboldened PKK terrorists have stepped up bombings and kidnappings.
- The public hasn’t forgotten hawkish promises to oust Assad.
• Time wonders if Egyptian secularists can take back their revolution.
Rest O’ the Roundup
• Israel Electric Corp. chief to cyber summit: We’re hit with 10,000-20,000 cyber attacks every day. YNet coverage.
• For the anniversary of the Munich Massacre, the BBC remembers the tragedy with archived images and recordings from the time.

A question that will probably show my ignorance. I’m just checking the story about ‘Palestinian’ protests at cost of living on the Maan site. The piece finishes with a list of people who were arrested by the ‘Israeli authorities’. Is this invention? It doesn’t seem to make sense given the rest of the report.

BBC headline and article on Munich refer to Black September as “militants” rather than terrorists. But the 7/7 bombers are terrorists.

That’s because the term “terrorist” would apply only if the cause of their brutality and barbarism conflicted with one’s own sympathies and views. “Militant” would imply a form of validation for those perpetrating such crimes as well as some soft of understanding for their cause. Obviously, to the British, “terrorist” applies to crimes against Brits, but most certainly not against crimes against anyone of lesser importance, like Jews.
Well-loved. Agree or Disagree:

Barry, you may well be justified in accusing the BBC of an anti-Israel bias but please do not extend the accusation to include all ‘Brits’ . This is like accusing the city of New York of anti-semitism, simply because the New York Times is regularly guilty of dishonest reporting. I believe the majority of British people are willing to call a terrorist a terrorist, regardless of the policies and agendas of the BBC and the Guardian!

There could really be an avid declaration of Peace if the Old Manachem begin-Amwar Saddat Peace Plan was initialized and The alliances we are now generating between the West, and The muslim Brotherhood, the al-Qaeda networks as well as the Mujahideen and Taliban networks to include the Ottoman, Egyptian, and The babylonian Empires as the opportunities continue to climb the ladders of God’s will to make the world a safer place to embrace God’s Love and fellowship wioth The Jews and The Christians as one Kingdom of god’s people on this earth. The Future belongs to Christ and The heavenly Fathers will for The Whole world not to destroy mankind. Broken Spear, we can win this war against Peria.

We are not less important, on the contrary,
We are more important, more intelligent,
more productive, more inventive, more
musical, more talented, more giving, more
loving, better fighters, better peace makers,
more faithful to G-od, and best of all WE ARE
THE CHOSEN PEOPLE, lest one forgets.
The people that call terrorists “militants” should
adopt them in their families, letting them
live in their houses, impose their doctrines,
Cherish them, and leave us to our PEACEFUL
LIFE, and yes WE ARE BRAVER,
