Ex-Mossad boss: Israeli attack on Iran would be ‘stupidist thing ever’

[Avid Reader]

Surprised no one brought this up yet.

Ex Mossad head Meir Dagan says an Israeli attack on Iran would be ‘stupidist thing ever’. We have at least 3 years before Iran goes nuclear. Trashing his goverment's policy on Iran.
What's your take on the guy? Is he just insulted that he was removed from his Mossad post, or is he trying to make a legitimate point?

If you know the inner plitics there, you understand everything. Dirty politics.

This "ex-mossad" has been vocal about anything that can get him publicity.

He thinks some left wing party will elect him as head of party.. (maybe lapid's party if he is lucky)

In general it has been the minhag that when high profile government people step down they give the courtesy of shutting their mouths and letting the next person do his job..

this might have a connection to the semi botched dubai mission which analysts claim cost him his job...causing him to sing his own publicity/nekamah tunes
