The defense establishment, monitoring the unfolding escalation in Iraq, is increasingly concerned that American setbacks there could have grave consequences for Israel's security.

This could impact not only the defense budget, but also a change in the army's long-range security concept.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz convened a security assessment with top IDF brass and other security officials late Thursday to weigh the implications for Israel.

"The success of the United States there is vital for the entire region and if things deteriorate or get out of control then we will have much to be concerned about," said a defense official familiar with the discussions held.

2. And don't forget....the PNACers are now stating...

that Iran should be the next country to be "liberated", you know,
because they're "developing nukes" that are a threat to Israel...
And now, the official spin is that Iran is supporting the insurgents
in Iraq... :eyes:
