Israel To Show U.S. Nuclear Intel On Iran
Disappointed after failing to make their case on Iran and influence the outcome of the U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) released this week, Israel’s Military Intelligence will present hard evidence on Iran’s nuclear program to the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff who is scheduled to visit the Jewish State over the weekend.
Admiral Michael Mullen will land in Israel Sunday morning for a 24-hour visit that will include a one-on-one meeting with IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, as well as with Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
Mullen will be met by an honor guard at the Kirya Military Headquarters in Tel Aviv and will sit through a day of presentations by IDF generals, including Military Intelligence chief Maj.-Gen. Amos Yadlin and others.
Mullen’s visit will be the first time a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has visited Israel in the past decade.
Considering that Israel is in the same neighborhood as Iran, it’s not far fetched to imagine their intelligence on Iran to be more accurate than ours.
Israel’s intelligence service is among the best in the world, so it’s definitely in our best interest to hear them out. The NIE really does seem suspicious. It’s a known fact that certain factions of our intelligence community have sought to undermine the Bush Administration’s foreign policy since day one.

Islamic Terrorists Target Military Intelligence Base in Arizona
From The Washington Times:
Fort Huachuca, the nation’s largest intelligence-training center, changed security measures in May after being warned that Islamist terrorists, with the aid of Mexican drug cartels, were planning an attack on the facility.
Fort officials changed security measures after sources warned that possibly 60 Afghan and Iraqi terrorists were to be smuggled into the U.S. through underground tunnels with high-powered weapons to attack the Arizona Army base, according to multiple confidential law enforcement documents obtained by The Washington Times.
“A portion of the operatives were in the United States, with the remainder not yet in the United States,” according to one of the documents, an FBI advisory that was distributed to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the CIA, Customs and Border Protection and the Justice Department, among several other law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. “The Afghanis and Iraqis shaved their beards so as not to appear to be Middle Easterners.”
According to the FBI advisory, each Middle Easterner paid Mexican drug lords $20,000 “or the equivalent in weapons” for the cartel’s assistance in smuggling them and their weapons through tunnels along the border into the U.S. The weapons would be sent through tunnels that supposedly ended in Arizona and New Mexico, but the Islamist terrorists would be smuggled through Laredo, Texas, and reclaim the weapons later.
A number of the Afghans and Iraqis are already in a safe house in Texas, the FBI advisory said.
Fort Huachuca, which lies about 20 miles from the Mexican border, has members of all four service branches training in intelligence and secret operations. About 12,000 persons work at the fort and many have their families on base.
This is further proof that Islamic terrorists are still constantly plotting new ways to try and attack us. Although, you can be certain that the left will do everything possible to minimize the story and call it “scare tactics” by Bush.
