It's been reported here that he was passing US information about IRAN back to Israel……
"FBI probes Israeli spy at Pentagon claim
5.00PM, Sat Aug 28 2004
The FBI is investigating a Pentagon analyst suspected of being an Israeli spy, US government sources said.
The analyst is suspected of passing secret documents about Iran to the Jewish state.
The officials said the analyst was connected to Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's office and is suspected of passing the documents to Israel via the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington."
This could be a good thing if Israel is looking for strategic data… say for a strike on Irans nuclear facilities?

NO. Its a bad thing. Israel has been influencing the US to do their fighting. Brilliant on their end. No Israeli blood spilled in Iraq, the guy who paid suicide bombers is gone and they get free oil. Absolutely Brilliant! Their next target is Iran.
Has anyone here ever wondered why IRAQ was at the top of the list instead of NORTH KOREA? Lets not forget that North Korea continually threatenes to rain down missles on New York. They already have the missles to attack Japan and South Korea. And they are boasting that they have a nuke. YET THEY WERE NOT HIGH ENOUGH ON THE LIST. ????? WTF!!!! Thats because they were NO threat to Israel. Israel has been running US policy for a while. Traditional Republicans, like myself, are even staying clear of the NEOCONS.

Ok, new guy...
This has only been up for discussion since the war sterted...
North Korea is a secular communist dictatorship, that - right now, anyway - doesn't pose a threat we can't contain with a naval blockade & missile defense... They are, quite frankly, a threat better left 'contained' for now... Further, North Korea actually has a functional military, and the 'situation' over there is not conductive to an invasion. Look at a map of the 2 Koreas, measure the distance from the DMZ to Seoul, and look up the range of 155mm artillery. Get the picture?
IRAQ, on the other hand, is part of a grand strategy to solve the 'terror problem' by re-shaping the political landscape of the middle east. They were picked because (A) Saddam is the biggest 'bad-apple' of the dictators in the region (not in terms of terror support, but in terms of being an absolute monster), (B) their military was degraded by 10yrs of sanctions, and (C) we allready had the political/legal justification for war due to his failure to abide by the 1991 armistice.
Logically, IRAQ would get hit first, with the objective of destabilizing a long list of pro-terror regimes (Syria, IRAN, and so on...).
Further, ISRAEL is - above all else - as good of an ally as we're gonna find. The only country more on our side is well, Britain - which you'd expect, blood is thicker than water, even 228-some years removed - and the Izzys one signature strength is spying. We spy on them, they spy on us, and it's quite easy to connect that we might 'let' them have some information here & there, and vice versa...
Think about it, what western-ish country has the most experience spying on Arabs?
