Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:08:04 -0000

A former head of Mossad has warned that Israel has 12 months in which to destroy Iran's nuclear programme or risk coming under nuclear attack itself. He also hinted that Israel might have to act sooner if Barack Obama wins the US presidential election.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

we may update the Americans that we are intending or planning or going to do something. It's not a precondition, [getting] an American agreement," he said.

He warned that while it would be preferable to have American support and participation in a strike on Iran, Israel will not be afraid to go it alone.

If it's Obama: no. My prediction is that he won't go for it, at least not in his first term in the White House."

"If [Republican candidate John] McCain gets elected, he could really easily make a decision to go for it.

Israeli officials believe the diplomatic process is useless and have been pressing President Bush to launch air strikes before he leaves office on January 20 next year.

More than 40 per cent of all globally traded oil passes through the 35-mile-wide Strait of Hormuz, putting tankers entering or leaving the Gulf at risk from Iranian mines, rockets and artillery

Iran's military said it might hit the Jewish state with missiles and stop Gulf oil exports if it came under attack. Israel "is completely within the range of the Islamic republic's missiles,"

"As an intelligence officer working with the worst-case scenario, I can tell you we should be prepared. We should do whatever necessary on the defensive side, on the offensive side, on the public opinion side for the West, in case sanctions don't work. What's left is a military action

US Marine acquitted of all charges in Haditha killings

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 13:56:45 -0000

Haditha killings were exonerated however one more officer needs to be tried for negligence.

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Based on the information I had at the time, based on the situation, I made the best decision I could have."

a preliminary hearing at Camp Pendleton last September that he would "always mourn the unfortunate deaths of the innocent Iraqis who were killed during our response to that attack."

Six have now had charges against them dropped, while charges of murder against squad leader Frank Wuterich were changed to the lesser offense of manslaughter.

prosecutors have struggled to make the allegations stick.

Eight military personnel were originally charged over the incident -- four soldiers faced murder charges and four officers, including Grayson, were accused of covering up and failing to properly investigate the killings.

Time magazine showed that most of the dead were killed as Marines swept through three houses near the bombing, prompting a wide-ranging internal investigation.

The Marines said in a press release issued immediately after the killings that 15 Iraqis had been killed by the roadside bomb that claimed the life of Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas.

a three-hour shooting spree, they say, the soldiers shot five passengers of an approaching taxi and killed 10 women and children at point blank range, among others.

prosecutors say there were no insurgents, alleging that the soldiers opened fire unprovoked in revenge for their colleague's death.

Defense lawyers claim insurgents hidden in nearby houses subsequently opened fire on the soldiers, forcing them to respond.

On November 19, 2005, a US soldier on patrol was killed by a roadside bomb in the village of Haditha, 260 kilometers (160 miles) west of Baghdad.
