Ex-CIA Head: No Sunni-Israeli Alliance in the Offing
[Jerusalem Post] Haviv Rettig - "I do not believe the current Sunni concern over the Shi'ite nuclear weapons program in Iran will lead to some sort of covert Saudi, Egyptian, American, Israeli modus vivendi to protect ourselves together against the Shi'a," former CIA director James Woolsey told the Herzliya Conference on Monday. "The Wahhabis, al-Qaeda, the Vilayat Faqih in Teheran, although often lethally competitive with one another in the way the Nazis and communists were in the 1930s, are capable of unification," Woolsey asserted. Following his speech, Woolsey told journalists, "there is a very substantial likelihood that if the diplomatic approach failed - and I think it will - and non-violent regime change [in Iran] won't work, there is no alternative except for the U.S. to use force."
