Ehud Barak was in Switzerland yesterday, doing his best to instill a little towel-o-phobia in the assembled worthies at Davos.
If we don't act soon, it may be too late, claimed Barak. In mere months the Ayatollahs could have nukes.
Too late for what?
Why, too late for the infamous "surgical strike" that is much beloved by Israeli and American war apologists. You know, like the surgical strike on Falluja, or the mother of all surgical strikes, Operation Cast Lead.
Presumably it won't be too late for a massive carpet nuking of the entire country. That'll slow up their nuke program.
Alas, the Davos crowd did not seem unduly alarmed by Barak's news. That could be because Davos is well beyond the range of Iranian missiles.
Or it could be that they've been listening to the same shrill warnings about the Ayatollahs being months away from a nuclear weapon for at least twenty years now.
Or maybe they're just a little more sophisticated than the Florida Republicans who are lapping up every fear-mongering ant-Iranian cliche that Newt and Mitt toss their way. Hell, when you watch the debates you'd almost think Iran's nuclear ambitions were the single most important issue facing Florida voters.
