Netanyahu the yahoo freaks out, because people in Israel and the USJOC Us Joint Chiefs of Staff, are jamming up his war with Iran plan.
One
day after the Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronoth published the story
that the U.S. will not "have Israel's back" in a strike against Iran,
Prime Minister Netanyahu had a fit against his own Security Cabinet and
cancelled the council's meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 5, even as the
officials were meeting about Iran.
In a wild rant, Bibi said that he was dismissing the NSC because of "leaks" to the media that violated the "trust" of the security cabinet. He railed that he has "a responsibility" to the citizens and the "security of the state," to protect secrets; therefore, "I am breaking up this meeting."
The real sin of the "leak" was that Ynet news (the English version of Yedioth) had revealed that Israel's intelligence agencies have reports about Iran's nuclear program that "conflict" with Bibi's war drive, and that these conflicting views were affecting members of that body. As of late Sept. 5, Bibi was reportedly considering polygraphing all members of his own security council at the behest of Energy and Water Resources Minister Uzi Landau, who told the press, "Until the person responsible for the leak is found, this forum cannot be convened."
Bibi's paranoia has escalated over the last week, ever since U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Gen. Martin Dempsey's August 30th Media Roundtable at the U.S. Embassy in London, where he openly challenged Obama's war policy, not only on Iran, but also on the question of attacking Syria over chemical weapons.
Reviewing the last week's statements and actions by U.S. military circles that oppose the British Obama war, it is obvious why Bibi is livid: he sees that Israel's establishment circles are operating in parallel with the U.S. military opposition to the outbreak of world war. The following is a brief summary of the last week's developments, which were reported as they unfolded as LPAC and EIRNS slugs.
* On Aug. 31, one day after Dempsey's London statements, Time magazine runs a major "exclusive" story that the long-delayed U.S.-Israel military exercise called "Austere Challenge," is being scaled back from 5,000 troops to "1,500" and perhaps "as few as 1,200." Israeli media reports begin screeching that this reduction shows that relations between the U.S. and Israel have seriously deteriorated (see separate slug).
* August 31-Sept. 4: Many thousands of articles have been put out repeating Gen. Dempsey's statement that he does not want to be "complicit" in a unilateral Israeli attack on Iran.
* Sept. 3: CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus reportedly arrives in Israel for secret meetings. Most of the U.S. press reports that he is going to Israel to assuage concerns about Dempsey's remarks. But, instead of a calmer climate, the Israeli media continue to explode with even more stories about U.S./Israel tensions over the British Netanyahu/Barak war against Iran.
* Sept. 4: Israeli press issue a number of serious warnings against Netanyahu. Ynet news publishes the report that the U.S. has sent an indirect message to Iran that it will not back an Israeli strike if Iran doesn't retaliate against the U.S.; and Ynet publishes the "leak" about Israeli intelligence disagreements with Bibi's Iran danger assessment. The same day, former CIA Chief Michael Hayden gives an interview to Ha'aretz in which he cautions Israel against striking Iran.
* Sept. 5: Prime Minister Netanyahu cancels his security cabinet meeting in a rage against "leaks." For the record, Haaretz reporter Amir Oren calls Netanyahu a "serial violator of Israeli gag orders," saying that Bibi's denouncing of leaks is "sadder" than Casanova denouncing adulterers.
