Before the recent Israeli elections I thought Netanyahu was the man the PTB wanted in power. He has been showing up all over the place trying to defend the Israeli assault/destruction of Lebanon.
But I'm beginning to wonder if it is possible that this war is designed to get Olmert out and Netanyahu in. Why?
Is it possible that the PTB have drawn up a psycho profile of Olmert and concluded that he would not use the nuke, but Netanyahu would?
Olmert is not a military man. He has, from Israeli reports, dithered at times and allowed time for some diplomacy and other non-military actions. Would Netanyahu? When you hear Netanyahu speak during interviews he sounds to me much more likely to use the nuke.
"War with Iran is inevitable", said former deputy defense minister retired Maj. Gen. Efraim Sneh. The Neocons believe so, and want it, real bad.
But what kind of war? The neocons and Israel believe Iran has the nuke already, or if not then are very close to it. If they are that convinced that Iran has the nuke are they very much prepared to use their nukes, as a first strike? Second strike?
And if so, is Olmert or Netanyahu the man to push the button?
