The former CIA agent: "Israel intends to attack Iran in Sepetember this year"

TEL AVIV -Robert Baer, ​​a CIA officer who has spent 21 years of its term in the Middle East believe that Israel will bomb Iran in the autumn, which will certainly drag the United States to the "big war" and endanger other U.S. military and civilians throughout the Middle East and region.

Earlier this week, Robert Baer appeared on the show provocative KPFK in Los Angeles with host Ian Masters. That's where he predicted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to trigger a war with Iran in the near future.

Robert Baer has pioneered the "career" in the CIA, including serving in Iraq in the 1990s where he held the opposition to Saddam Hussein. (He was recalled after being accused of trying to arrange the murder of Saddam). After retirement, he received the award for his services.

Baer is the usual CIA agent. George Clooney won an Oscar for playing the character based on Baer's profile in the film Syriana.

He clearly says there are not many names as a source in Israel, the United States, and elsewhere, but some names Israeli security figures warned that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak insisted on war.

Most former Mossad alert to Netanyahu

Baer was impressed with the warning (unprecedented) is expressed by the former head of Mossad, Meir Dagan, the Netanyahu plan. Dagan came out of the Israeli intelligence agency in September 2010. Two months ago, he predicted that Israel would attack and said that doing so would be the "dumbest thing" she could imagine. So that was disclosed newspaper Haaretz.

When asked about what will happen after the Israeli attack, Dagan said: "This will be followed by a war with Iran. These are the things we know for starters, but do not know how it ends "

Iran has the ability to fire rockets into Israel during the whole month, and tens of thousands of Hezbollah could fire hundreds of rockets and long-range missiles, said Dagan.

According to Ben Caspit of the Israeli daily Maariv, Dagan anger against Israel's political leadership is not only due to his position as head of Mossad, which requires you to keep your mouth shut, but also because Dagan very conservative on security issues.

Dagan Caspit writes that "one of the most militant right-wing ever was born here (Israel) said that the leadership has the vision and is not responsible, we must stop to sleep soundly at night".

Dagan describes the current Israeli government as "government of dangerous and irresponsible" and spoke out against Netanyahu is his duty.

In addition, Dagan hatred against Netanyahu is often indicated in the Israeli security establishment. Daily Think Progress cites, there are 12 of the 18 former heads of two Israeli security agency (Mossad and Shin Bet) has actively opposed the attitude of Netanyahu.

In short, while Congress obligingly give 29 times the applause for Mr Netanyahu, the Israelis who knew about Netanyahu would think that Netanyahu is a dangerous disaster.

There are "very likely" that Netanyahu "plotting an attack [against Iran] ... and probably will in September 2011 before the vote related to the establishment of a Palestinian state, in which Netanyahu is expected to draw the United States into the conflict." Baer explains.

Israeli Air Force would attack "Natanz and other nuclear facilities to reduce Iran's ability to strike back as happened in Basra, Baghdad, and even as happened in Afghanistan," he said.

Then the United States will join in the war with attacks on Iranian targets. "Our special forces have seen Iranian targets in Iraq and across the border [in Iran] as a place we would attack. This is the nightmare scenario we. do not have enough troops in the Middle East to fight a war like that. "Baer added," I think we look into the abyss ".

Israeli war, a war the U.S. also

In the event the Master asked Baer, ​​why the U.S. military did not move to stop this war happen. Baer said that the military opposes, such as former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who used his influence to thwart an Israeli attack during the Bush and Obama. But he is gone and "there is a warning message at the Pentagon" to prepare for war.

It should be noted that the Iranian regime is quite capable of triggering a war with the United States through some combination of colossal ignorance and sheer hatred. In fact, as described Baer, ​​Iran's Revolutionary Guards will welcome the "drums" of war.

Baer believes Iran needs an external enemy. And it is Israel. But to make this threat credible, Iran would be like if there was an attack against their nuclear facilities, so they have a reason to go to war in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and beat us (the U.S.) where they can.

Defense them (Iran) is asymmetrical. They will do serious damage to our fleet in the Gulf. Given all that, is it possible that the United States would allow Israel to invade when President Obama knows, the U.S. will be forced to join the war on the side of Israel?

What happens when you see 100 F-16 Iraq approaching and there are calls to the White House [of Netanyahu] who said "We go, we're at war with Iran"? What will the President of the United States do? He has little influence on Bibi Netanyahu. That means we can not stop it. And Obama knows it.

If Israel bombed Iran tomorrow, Congress will forget all about their party differences, the House and Senate support the attack and calls continue to support Israel. That's what Congress has always done, and will always do so because of the Israel lobby the U.S. is a key player in making policies related to the Middle East.

Israeli attack on Iran would be different. This will impact countless dangerous for America. It also will shut down any economic recovery effort by causing oil prices to skyrocket. It will cost the U.S. in another Middle East war. And certainly it would threaten the existence of the state of Israel.

Increasingly falling into the abyss of bankruptcy

And as has been the "secret" world, that the U.S. suffered losses in terms of infinite moral or material resulting from the war against "terrorists", the war in Afghanistan who could not winner oleh U.S., also the wars that are still swirling in the Middle East.
