Middle East Deeper Into U. S. Politics.

Is a Nuclear Halocaust in the making?

Israeli Maj. Gen. Eliezer Shkedy told CBCNews 60 Minutes Bob Simon Thursday that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s threats against Israel must be taken extremely seriously. He said it reminds him of the Holocaust. “We should remember. We cannot forget, We should trust only ourselves.”

On Friday U. S. Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Friday, April 25, the Pentagon is planning for “potential military courses of action” against Iran and that “it would be a mistake ( for Iran) to think that we are out of combat capability.”

Shkedy’s comment appeared designed to show Israeli resolve to both Iran and the United States and Mullen’s to punctuate that Iran’s continued truculence is a dangerous strategy.

A peculiar development was the endorsement by the Hamas terrorist group of U. S. Democrat candidate Barack Obama as a latter-day JFK and someone the terror group can deal with. Iran has made similar expressions. Within hours Senator McCain, the presumed GOP presidential nominee said if in the White House he would be Hamas’ “worst nightmare.”
