Mr. Chairman: The next challenge Posted by Tzahi Hanegbi

The NIE report regarding the Iran nuclear situation published at the end of last year caused an international storm. The US president, the Israeli prime minister, European and Asian leaders, intelligence agencies and media centers - all attributed supreme importance to the document and proceeded to analyze its meaning. The possibility that in the very near future, the American stance will change following "incriminating" new information that may come to light about the covert nuclear program being pursued by Teheran, cannot be discounted. The intelligence industry is a very dynamic and developing field. Intelligence agencies worldwide approach the matter as high priority - and there is always the possibility that one of them will succeed in providing concrete evidence contradicting the NIE report. However, in the meantime, a situation exists in which there is strong suspicion that the report can cause severe damage, particularly due to two of its main points: the first is that as of mid-2007, Iran had not renewed its nuclear program, which was frozen in 2003 and the second is that the estimation that in 2009 Iran would be able to sufficiently enrich Uranium to be used for nuclear purposes was an "unrealistic time-frame" and as such, a more acceptable time-frame was between 2010 and 2015. In facing these claims, the American military option was effectively taken off the table, at least under the Bush administration especially whose leadership has been a source of controversy at home and abroad.

Sanctions will fail as they failed in the Oil for Food Program. The greed of the companies to make the hugh profits will continue. China will have a rude awakening along with the EU countires on the higher energy prices after Iran takes over the ME totally with their Nuclear Weapons. Prepare for WWIII all over energy supplies.

When will you wake up and understand finally that you are all alone from your friend when replying to life and death threat
You are told to pull back after all your self-defense wars from your friend.
You are told to place hostile state right between your eyes by your friend.
You are told that you aren't ijndependent but need ok by your friend.
You are not free to act from your friend.
You act dependently and not independently.
Why, could it be your friend how about commenting to the public who think you're a bunch of cooney lemels.

The noise that Europeans and American make regarding milutary action against Iran - are just that, talk. Some of it is more agressive than other - but still talk. No matter how long it takes for the Ayatollahs to attain a nuclear device, the world (including Israel) are not going to embark on a military option. The main reason is the fear of disruption of the oil flow. They will all learn at the end to live with an Iranian bomb.
