Israel should use force to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, says a former director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. The comments come from Meir Amit, who is claimed to be of the most esteemed figures in the Israeli intelligence establishment, are significant since, until now, he has refused to support an attack against Iran.Now for those inconvenient details...
Amit is in his mid-80's, and was Mossad director from 1963 to 1968. During that time he was credited with orchestrating some of the most notorious Mossad operations, such as running Israeli spy Eli Cohen, who penetrated top levels of the Syrian government, and the hijacking of an advance fighter plane from Iraq.
Ok. So he was once a good Israeli foot soldier. But he's been out of the loop for forty years. Why is anybody on the planet paying any attention to this senile old duffer?
Mid-80's, for crying out loud. Hell yes... let's take his advice on when to start another war.
