Israel's chief of staff comes home early
after doors close in Washington
Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi cut short his visit to Washington after getting an extraordinarily cool reception from the new U.S. administration... because he was 'dissed'. He came to discuss Israeli intelligence on Iran's nuclear reactor and to discuss ways to stop Iran from possibly triggering a third world war. Instead, the U.S. president had to be a guest on Jay Leno's Tonight Show. No one had time to meet with our chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi to set a plan of action on how to deal with Iran and it's nuclear threat, not just against Israel, but against America as well. This demonstrates the same behavior toward the British Govt. So now, both Israel and Britain are now persona non-grata. A statement to WorldTribune by the Israel Defense Forces spokesman attempted to downplay the snubs. But diplomatic sources said Ashkenazi failed to obtain access to any Cabinet member, including Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and was also unable meet his counterpart, Admiral. Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
