Ex-Israeli spy chief: Bombing Iran a stupid idea - CBS News

Quote:
One man know more about Iran's nuclear program than just about anyone, because it was his job to stop it as the former head of Israel's spy agency, Mossad.

In an upcoming segment for "60 Minutes", Lesley Stahl interviews Meir Dagan, confronting him for saying that bombing Iran now is "the stupidest idea" he'd ever heard.

Nerve gas might be a better option than bombs.

Even though there is the technology for bombs I don't believe they should be used. In fact it would be suicide to use them.

maybe not the Dumbest thing,but something that has to be given quite a bit more thought,especially from the perspective of Iran's capability to wage Asymmetrical War through her Proxies.

As I mentioned on another forum, a bombing campaign will give all the jihadists just the excuse they need to come out of hiding worldwide and create mayhem because they want to be martyred. Death in the cause of jihad is something they strive for so therefore it gives them bravado.

Cyber and stealth are the way to go.
