I already posted more recent material about increased support of terror by Iraq, that implies, although it does not clearly state, that it had taken the lead. One of the articles to which you are responding says that the threat from the East has been mostly eliminated with the neutralization of Iraq, and specifically says that Syria is no big threat under the younger Assad. It is true that it says that the containment of Iran is presumed to the US presence in countries surrounding Iran, but the significance of neutralizing Iraq is stated forcibly. I will see if there is any clearer articulation of the point. If not, at least you can see where I got the idea.

Last updated at: (Beijing Time) Tuesday, August 13, 2002 Sharon Labels Iraq as Israel's Greatest Threat Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said that Iraq "is the greatest danger Israel is facing," calling for a close strategic coordination between Israel and the United States, the Ha'aretz Daily reported Tuesday. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has said that Iraq "is the greatest danger Israel is facing," calling for a close strategic coordination between Israel and the United States, the Ha'aretz Daily reported Tuesday. The prime minister made the remark Monday before the Knesset (parliament) Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. Asked if Israel plans to attack Iraq if Baghdad attacks Israel, Sharon said that "we don't know for certain if the United States will attack Iraq. Iraq is a great danger. It could be said it is the greatest danger. We aren't intervening in US decisions." But the "strategic coordination between Israel and the United States has reached unprecedented dimensions," the report quoted Sharon as saying. Israel has notified the United States that it would respond to any Iraqi attack, even if there are no casualties, emphasizing that it would not practice the same kind of restraint demonstrated in the Gulf War in 1991. english.peopledaily.com.cn
