U.S. and Israel to Hash Out Division Over Intelligence Estimate

Clearly dissatisfied with America’s recent intelligence findings, officers from the Israel Defense Forces will present the idf’s “hard core evidence on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program” to the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff on Sunday. According to the Jerusalem Post:

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. …Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday said he had no reason to doubt the intelligence assessment.”There’s always the possibility that circumstances will change. But I think they’ve done the best job they can with the intelligence that’s available,” Cheney told Politico.com.
