Ariel Sharon’s military attache presented aerial photos of Iranian nuclear installations during the Israeli prime minister’s summit with US President George W. Bush

Well, why not, considering that OUR intelligence isn't worth dog drool...

...and your clearance is to what level that helps you qualify that statement?

When I was on active duty during the 1980's it basically sucked then too. Why do you think that the oldest joke in the military since Christ was a corporal is that Military Intelligence is a total oxymoron? I lost buddies on the Grenada op (and since only about 12 died on that jaunt that's a lot) and I knew guys that were wounded in Panama due to poor intel. In fact just about every modern day fiasco in the realm of military ops can be laid at the foot of the intel received.

That's NOT the fault of our guys! Let me be clear: The true fault lies in the US Congress of the 1970's. Specifically the Carter administration and the CHURCH committee that voted to totally gut the capabilities of both the military industrial complex and the CIA to carry out intel ops because they were ummmmm distasteful to the tender sentiments of American liberals.

I wish the Ruskies would pony up for this bad dog. Perhaps a combined strike would send a clear message. Israeli intel, Ruskie attack aircraft, US air cover. Go after the nuke installations only, avoid collateral damage. If the Russians knocked them out, it would probably take the wind out of other extremist/bellicose tyrannies (and give North Korea something to ponder).

I know that Russians have had a hand in helping the Iranians, but if Russian warplanes knock them out, it proves that the Kremlin disavows the actions of rogue nuclear scientists going abroad to make a buck/rubble.
