Nobody Lives Forever - So What?

"Israel knows it needs to coordinate its strategy on Iran with other nations and that attacking Teheran's nuclear facilities would mean 'big trouble,' CIA director Leon Panetta said on Wednesday.

Acknowledging that he had recently traveled to Israel to meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and warn him against a strike on Iran, the CIA chief told Global Viewpoint that he 'felt assured' Israel would not break ranks with Washington's strategy.

'Yes,' he said, 'the Israelis are obviously concerned about Iran and focused on it. But [Netanyahu] understands that if Israel goes it alone, it will mean big trouble. He knows that for the sake of Israeli security, they have to work together with others.'"
