Cabrera, what can I say, other than that I hope you keep your promise to close your account if Iran is not attacked by September 2010 ("when Iran is attacked and it will be soon.... If it is not by the end of September 2010 I will close my account and never write here again PROMISE." http://baexpats.org/newcomers-forum/10748-iran-persia-nuclear-war-possible-2.html

Chief of Staff, Lt. General Babakr Zebari stated at a defense conference that the Iraqi army would not be ready to stand on its own until 2020 and the US should remain until then. Zebari is Kurdish. The Kurds have fared well during US occupation. Clearly he is eager to maintain US presence rather than be exposed to an unhampered Baghdad-Ankara alliance. Juan Cole calls it insubordination.

An analysis of Jeff Goldberg's piece that recently appeared in the Atlantic Monthly (thanks to Cabrera for bringing it to our attention). The author concludes that the majority of Israeli Generals and intelligence officiers do not share Netanyahu's apocalyptic rhetoric or perception about an Iranian nuclear threat as an "existential threat."
