(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - After meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) said Tuesday there was "daylight" and "tension" between Jerusalem and Washington over the Iranian issue. "There should be no daylight between America and Israel in our assessment of the [Iranian] threat," McCain said in Jerusalem. "Unfortunately there clearly is some." McCain took strong issue with chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey who told CNN that Iran was a "rational" actor, saying that by pursuing nuclear weapons despite mounting international isolation, growing sanctions, and the "very real threat of conflict, it is hard to see this as rational behavior." His colleague Lindsey Graham (R-SC) added that anyone who denies the Holocaust, as Iranian President Ahmadinejad has done, and plotted to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador in Washington should not be considered rational. Graham also said, "I just want to tell our Israeli friends that my advice to you is never lose control of your destiny. Never allow a situation to develop that would destroy the Jewish state." Graham referred to the current impasse with Iran as a "never again" moment. 2012-02-22 00:00:00Full Article
