Under the headline “Why Israel Had to Act,” Yadlin's opening sentence states, “Forty-four years ago this June, I sat in the cockpit on the Israeli air force mission that destroyed Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor. In one daring operation, we eliminated Saddam Hussein's nuclear ambitions.” Via Unpacked Media The parallels between that event and the current war on Iran are indeed remarkable—but the real lesson to be learned from it is precisely the opposite of the one Yadlin draws.
