The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten has summarized an Israeli military briefing by Israeli Chief of Staff Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi of a US congressional delegation a little over a year ago and concludes that
‘ The memo on the talks between Ashkenazi and [Congressman Ike] Skelton, as well as numerous other documents from the same period of time, to which Aftenposten has gained access, leave a clear message: The Israeli military is forging ahead at full speed with preparations for a new war in the Middle East.
The paper says that US cables quote Ashkenazi telling the US congressmen, “I’m preparing the Israeli army for a major war, since it is easier to scale down to a smaller operation than to do the opposite.”
More war crimes for the Gabi Ashkenazi dossier. I dare say he'll soon be invited to undertake a lecture tour of US universities.

ReplyDeleteHe may or he may not..It's not as easy now as it used to be. Those dogs are tracked whenever they leave their country and it's never a smooth ride for them anymore. I can see how this criminal will be one day, brought in front of a war crime tribunal. Yes, I'm optimistic.
