Israel, Iran and the all-seeing eye of the Mossad

I swear that if I see another headline like this anytime soon, I shall pick up some weapons, ammo and do the whole deed by myself - just to stop the unending downpour of crapola about Iranian nukes and how better to stop them.

As for the all-seeing eye of the M.: why does the author (or the editor who thought up this headline) consider Mossad having only one eye? Here is the real picture of the relevant equipment:

So there...

But MOSSAD will never out do the Andorrans in the secret service stakes

Well, one can always strive to do better. Who knows, one of these days...

I think we should attack… we will either shut everyone up or we won't
hear them ever again…

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

I think these people have confused the Mossad with Sauron. While the Mossad has many eyes and can get much done, Sauron does see every where, knows every thing.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Could be, but striving to is almost winning.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

The choice is stark, I would say...

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Still two eyes is better than one.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

So does Mossad, according to some admirers.

Brian Goldfarb said...

Yeah, okay, the headline is a bit obvious, silly, etc, but still, it serves a purpose: if the bad guys really think that, then they'll start to make (or continue making) mistakes, because they are looking over their shoulders all the time.And when you're trying to pour delicate substances into a test tube while looking over your shoulder for the Mossad operative...Oops!!

Dick Stanley said...

Ah, but Sauron is utterly evil. Surely the Mossad is not.

Dick Stanley said...

Attack now with probable (if grudging) US aid or attack after the election betting Romney will win. Because if he doesn't win it will be a lonely attack without, in all likelihood extra fuel, extra ammo and bombs, or spare parts. Obama has your back alright. He's waiting for a second term to plunge in the knife.

KatieNorcross said...

Evil? Perhaps.... But they are being confused with Sauron.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

How can one know what the bad guys think from a headline in The Telegraph? Bad editors excepted, of course...

Brian Goldfarb said...

Agreed, snoopy, but we can hope that they got this right for the reasons suggested - it will make the bad guys careless if they think that the big bad Mossad is coming to get them.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yes, lets' hope so.

If you are going to use an all-knowing single eye, I like the one on top of the pyramid that is on the back of the US 1 dollar bill.

David All said...

Have to confess I am getting tired about all those stories about if and when Israel will attack Iranian nuclear sites. My own belief is that some sort of compromise will be agreed on that will avert the need for such drastic action. If this does not happen, I predict there will be a massive nervous breakdown among the Iranian military in anticipation of the next covert or overt Israeli action!
PS: Do not put much stock in a Romney victory. The 47% remark made his path to victory a definitley uphill one.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

I like it too, and multiplied many times as well ;-)

SnoopyTheGoon said...

No worries, David, I never put any stock in a pol yet and don't intend to.
