JD: David, long time journalist in the Middle East over 30 year and has knowledge of what’s happening insight into whatever we may bring to his attention to respond to. David let me start with this, there is a rising understanding in Israel that they may not be able to assume they can crush Iran in any type of conflict in the near future. What are your about that statement and do you believe it’s correct?
DD: Well Jimmy it’s a much debated issue obviously in Israel because Iran has been making clear now for several decades that they intend to go to war against Israel at some point. They claim wipe the Jewish state off the world map so they have to take that pretty seriously. But Iran is a very large country about 10 times the size of Israel in population. It’s much larger geographically. Their nuclear program is spread out in many locations and so that alone makes it difficult to take them on. Israel is still talking about that is clear.
