The commander of the Israeli air force takes Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s threats against Israel extremely seriously. Israelis must be ready for anything and ultimately trust only themselves, he believes, and for good reason: his family survived the Holocaust.
Maj. Gen. Eliezer Shkedy speaks to 60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon in a story about the Israeli air force this Sunday, April 27, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
"I think it is a very serious threat to the state of Israel, but more than this, to the whole world," Shkedy says of the Iranian leader’s public animosity toward Israel. "They are talking about what they think about the state of Israel. They are talking about destroying and wiping us from the earth," he tells Simon. It reminds him of the Holocaust. "We should remember. We cannot forget. We should trust only ourselves."
Well thank God SOMEONE'S taking the Iranian threat seriously. Everyone else seems to think that they should be pussy footing around the notion that Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon. It's plain to see by anyone that they thirst for power. Their nuclear program is their only true thing they have as a national symbol of pride. Everything else in Iran has turned to shit that Ahmadinejad has touched.
Personally, I think a bit of sabotage might be in order.
