I watched the full interview on Bloomberg TV. In short, it
was an exchange between Moshe Ya'alon who understands the Middle East and what
jihad is all about, and Charlie Rose who
does not. The gap in understanding is enormous and fundamental and it
reflects the gap in understanding between the Obama administration and the
Netanyahu government as well.
The crux of the
whole interview is this exchange ~ 23 min into the video
Charlie Rose: a good deal for you is that they
have no...
Moshe Ya'alon: no indigenous capability to enrich uranium
Charlie Rose: and by that meaning no capacity
in Iran to enrich uranium
Moshe Ya'alon: yeah
Charlie Rose: that's the only thing that
Moshe Ya'alon
that is the main issue now, of
course the delivery systems should be
discussed
Charlie Rose: but it is not discussed as you said
Moshe Ya'alon: yeah, the terror activities generated by Iran is nor discussed, but the
main point we should be focused on is full cessation of the fuel cycle
Charlie Rose: but they are not going to do
it
Moshe Ya'alon: so let' wait and see what will happen. At the end we understand that Israel
should be ready to defend itself by itself
