M...Ken, thank you for the info. Much appreciated. <br /><br />May be I believe in conspiracy theory too much. I have a feeling that the head of Mossad and Prime Minister do co-ordinate with each other when they make public statements. Now that Iraq has been devastated and only other threatening entity for Israel is Iran in the region, Israel will do anything to weaken it including destabilizing it.LeDarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526776746689708239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35317973.post-81414021115348871962009-06-23T18:57:42.067-04:002009-06-23T18:57:42.067-04:00Here is the text of what Meir Dagan head of Mossad...Here is the text of what Meir Dagan head of Mossad said since apparently the posted link is not working:<br /><br />In Israel, Mossad head talks about Iran election<br />Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:21:36 GMT<br />Head of Mossad Meir Dagan says that a Mousavi win in Iran's presidential election would have spelled bigger problems for Israel. <br /><br />Speaking to the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee of Knesset (Israeli parliament) on Tuesday, the chief of Israel's national intelligence agency said, "The world and we already know [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad." <br /><br />"If the reformist candidate [Mir-Hossein] Mousavi had won, Israel would have had a more serious problem, because it would need to explain to the world the danger of the Iranian threat, since Mousavi is perceived in the international arena as a moderate element," he added. "It is important to remember that he is the one who began Iran's nuclear program when he was prime minister." <br /><br />The Zionist spy-master, meanwhile, predicted that the street protests in Iran over the disputed election results would die out soon. <br /><br />"Election fraud in Iran is no different than what happens in liberal states during elections," he told committee, Haaretz reported. "The struggle over the election results in Iran is internal and is unconnected to its strategic aspirations, including its nuclear program." <br /><br />Contrast this with what Netanyahu says:<br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/06/21/netanyahu-iranian-regimes-repressive-nature-unmasked-election-turmoil/<br /><br />Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the Iranian regime's repressive nature has been "unmasked" by the turmoil over the country's disputed election last week. <br /><br />He spoke as the official death toll in Iran rose to at least 17, as protesters continued to march in the streets and clash with regime forces. <br /><br />"You see a regime that represses its own people and spreads terror far and wide," Netanyahu said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "It is a regime whose real nature has been unmasked and it's been unmasked by an incredible act of courage by Iran's citizens. ... You see the Iranian lack of democracy at work." <br /><br />Israel considers the Iranian regime, with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president and hard-line clerics at the top, as a monumental threat. Ahmadinejad, known for his bellicose rhetoric, has called for the destruction of Israel and is suspected of pursuing nuclear weapons technology. <br /><br />Netanyahu declined to predict where the protests would lead, but said they represent a "fundamental" event for the country. <br /><br />"I cannot tell you how this thing will end up. I think something very deep and very fundamental is going on," Netanyahu said. "There is an expression of the deep desire amid the people of Iran for freedom. ... This is what is going on." <br /><br />Though President Obama has come under criticism in the United States for not being more forceful in his support for the protesters, Netanyahu said he would not "second guess" the American president. <br /><br />"I know President Obama wants the people of Iran to be free," he said.kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062377405285794919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35317973.post-32497204408225133612009-06-23T17:37:32.859-04:002009-06-23T17:37:32.859-04:00Ken, thank you for your comment.

The head of Mossad concedes Ahmadinejad as the winner, and downplays irregularities. Many Israeli politicians are up in arms over his statements:<br /><br />http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=98451&sectionid=351020202kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062377405285794919noreply@blogger.com
