I've Been Thinking:
United States chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is visiting Israel. General Joseph Dunford is in
Israel meeting with his counterparts, sharing ideas and strategies and, most importantly, making certain that both the United States and Israel are on the same diplomatic page.
Israel and the US share important goals in the Middle East. Their most essential goals are defeating extremism and maintaining stability. To that end they are sharing info and intel.
These are never simple objectives - and they are made even more difficult given the current situation.
The United States has an added agenda item for this trip. Dunford is there to make certain Israel does not act rashly against Iran or against any other target.
Next week US Vice President Joseph Biden will visit Israel.
Biden's objective will be the same as Dunford's objective. The United States wants to make doubly certain that Israel realizes that they are united in their goals, that they are in this together.
