Brandishing a cartoon of a bomb with a red line to illustrate his point, the Israeli prime minister warned the UN in New York that Iran would be able to build nuclear weapons the following year and called for action to halt the process.



But in a secret report shared with South Africa a few weeks later, Israel’s intelligence agency concluded that Iran was “not performing the activity necessary to produce weapons”. The report highlights the gulf between the public claims and rhetoric of top Israeli politicians and the assessments of Israel’s military and intelligence establishment.

1. Did Condi "Mushroom Cloud" write his speech? nt

[aquart]

2. So the question in my mind is now...

Was Mossad responsible for this document dump?

[salin]

4. I read the leak was from South African intelligence

so I don't know about Mossad being responsible. However, the information and the timing does suggest that this might be the reason for the document dump.

[aquart]

5. Well, South Africa and Israel seem to be on amiable intelligence terms...

And what's a little favor for a friend?

[salin]

6. touche

could be.

[aquart]

9. I guess my next question would be

How harmless are these docs? Whose oxen get gored? Were they carefully selected?

[salin]

10. I imagine we will be reading dribs and drabs from them over the near future

just like Wikileaks and Snowden.

[DavidDvorkin]

13. If Mossad leaked this intentionally now

then the agency is probably trying to influence the Israeli election. That implies that Mossad considers Netanyahu a threat to the country.

3. the boy blunder

[JaneyVee]

7. It was another Bibi attempt to coax us into more war.

[aquart]

11. That would be horrific for both of us.

Besides, we've been doing quite well with the more surgical approach.

[Comrade Grumpy]

8. He wants to lie us in attacking Iran. Netanyahu is past his "sell by" date.

[displacedtexan]

12. Why do I think a Bush Family Evil Empire connection is behind this war drumming?

This is exactly the kind of crap that is designed to rally the moneyed war profiteers as well as the pig ignorant "Kill a Commie/Islamist/Marxist/Whatever for Jesus" chickenhawks behind another Bush... Just in time for an election cycle.
