    A guess: an Iranian GO and other seniors that close to Israel is finalizing an order of battle, intel and attack objectives. Must assume Israeli intel is on it, especially from the body-count.

    Also, he is over-weight for a man in his position. Out of shape. That itself is important intel on Iranian readiness. Bush had speaks with them and they backed down on the shaped charge IEDs. They are blowhards. Americans had an atomic bomb in a fraction of the time the Iranians are said to be working on one, and with NORK and PAK help into the bargain! Either they have long had it and US admins are lying about them “making” one or they are … blowhards.
