What Dagan has done for Israel is too valuable for some idiots to start insulting him. Those ministers should shut the f@ck up.

We can train him about how to be discreet....

Exactly - because he's done so much for the country he should be well aware that idle chatter can harm the national interest and he should know just when to keep his trap shut. Just because he has such a fine record doesn't mean that he hasn't gone off the rails now does it?

In a lot of nations around the world he would already be dead.

Exactly. He is a very clever man indeed. I certainly do not want to undermine his efforts. Al I can say is that he is deep into the psyche of our enemies and as such every word he speaks is good for Israel. When our enemies believe that Israel is weak....... etc. etc. I so agree with #1.

Felicitations! Mr.Dagan on your contribution , sincereity and love for the State of Israel.Very few men fall in his category. The only thing that disturbs me a lot is that he should share his views only with the Defence Ministry & with ministers directly concerned, & not with the general public because of the sensivity of the post he was holding.Any way--" To err his human".

Who really knows what this guy is doing, and why? After all, first he said attacking Iran should ONLY be done as a last resort. He clearly didn't say never do it, just make it the last possibility, and that it wouldn't be easy. Gee, who didn't know that? Now he talks about the Saudi Proposal, again who knows why? When the former head of a top spy agency starts making statements so controversial, wonder why? To take anything he states at face value would be mistake. So the "lefty's" think they have guy, who was an inside "righty", now supporting their ideas for peace with the Pals. OK, great. But I wonder? When will they understand it's not about land? That it never was. It's about getting back ALL of Israel for the Arabs. There can be no peace. Look what Iran (Ahmadinejad) said just yesterday. No Calm in the M.E. as long as ONE SQUARE INCH of soil is in Jewish hands. Do you IDIOTS need pictures? Why is Hamas part of the NEW Pal unity government? They have the same values, right?

I would rather listen to him than to some of the loonies currently in positions of power.His sanity is more than welcome.

What you are stating is right and true. Moreover Dagan can distroy the whole Israeli members of the government if he wants to. He knows everything on every single one.

I shudder when I think that such a vengeful fool was once head of intelligence in Israel.

The only one with a bit of sense amongst the out of hand rambo MK's who would love another war just to stay in power. That's right go ahead attack the Iranian's, open the Pandora's box. They can't even get Shalit released and they want a war with Iran. Meier Dagan is the sanest person around.

Did you really need to post the last two sentences?
