Jerusalem – Israel is joining the diplomatic action as the world approaches decision time in the face of Iran’s nuclear threat – Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen is arriving in Israel for a series of discussions focused on Iran, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading for talks in Russia for meetings with top Russian officials.

IDF officials say the meetings with Mullen will focus on “the cooperation between the militaries and joint security challenges,” with Iran’s nuclear race taking center stage. Officials are expected to look into the implications of economic sanctions, while also examining other options.
Admiral Mullen, who in the past has spoken out against the dangerous potential of Iran’s nuclear threat, will be holding his ninth meeting with his host, IDF Chief of Staff Major-General Gabi Ashkenazi. Mullen recently said that an Iranian bomb would constitute an existential threat for Israel, stressing that he and Ashkenazi share a similar vision regarding the threat’s scope and timetable.
Mullen’s visit will be part of a regional tour for America’s military chief. He is arriving in Israel from Egypt and will be continuing to Jordan. During his visit in Israel, Mullen will meet with Ashkenazi twice, and is also expected to take part in a meeting with other top Israeli generals.
On Monday, Mullen will be presented with a guard of honor at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. The admiral is also scheduled to visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, and meet with dozens of IDF officials involved in the rescue mission to Haiti.
I wish Him much luck and success on his trip to Israel and may he have ‘Syata Dishmaya’ all along. Gut Choidesh!
Muller is a coward
Mullen his name is. And I think he is as much of a coward as you are brilliant.
Two long shots.
Looks like the military option is becoming hot.
We all turn to Hashem Yisborech for a yeshuah on behalf of
ah-khay-noo benai yisrael in eretz hakodesh.
Nonetheless, it is essential to add that we must all strive for teshuvah.
We also pray to Hashem for protection here in America. In order to emerge
victorious, Israel and America must reclaim their religious heritage.
It is, however, unfortunate that we are failing. Here in America the yetzer
harah of giloy aroyos has been embraced behfarhesia by the current
Administration which is declaring hefker fundamental principles of
yashrus by promoting the toeivah of mishkav zuhkhor in the military rachmana
litzlan. The current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs follows Obama’s party line
contrary to his predecessor, General Peter Pace, who back in 2007
declared:”I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral
and we should not condone immoral acts.” The foregoing is a more
accurate reflection of the views of most Americans. Therefore, decent
citizens must write their congressmen demanding they stop this wickedness.
May Hashem cause all rishus to perish.
