I don't get it.
Well, actually, I do ... but for the sake of argument: why is everyone so upset at the Mossad? I mean, why is France and England so bent out of shape that some Israeli hit men used fake French and UK passports to gain entry into Dubai to rub out some Hamas scumbag?
Seriously! What should Yossel and Moshe use Israeli passports to do a hit in Dubai? Get real.
France and the UK are up in arms that Israel should eliminate an undisputed terrorist, a man acknowledged to be behind the killings of perhaps dozens of Israelis -- or responsible for arming terrorists in the West Bank and Gaza with missiles and other weapons whose sole purpose is to kill Israelis. So the Israelis got him first ... or back for the hits Hamas is responsible for.
Let's face it Mohammed Al Mabhouh was a very bad man. This was not your common psycho looking to enter paradise on the back of a bus bombing. This man wanted to arm an army of psycho bus-bombers. And probably already did. It is certain that he is responsible for the slaying of Israeli soldiers: he bragged about it. He was hidden and protected in Syria (not much chance to liquidate him there) so what was Israel to do? Just sit around and wait while its enemies partied around the world planning new murders of Israelis?
Why is France so concerned with portraying this piece of wet work as a "murder?" It was an assassination, an extermination of vermin.
What bothers me is the messiness of the Mossad. Dagan can do better than this. And Mossad is normally far tidier in conducting wet work. 18 persons now sought by the Keystone Cops of the Gulf? This leads me to something else: Mossad's M.O. is more likely poison in the soup or a suppressed 9mm in the head by a passer-by. This sort of elaborate show is hard to stage ... and requires a lot of time. You just can't pull 18 people out of your heine, send them around Europe to build a legend and target them back to Dubai ... on the kind of notice they would have had.
The fact that this was apparently such a big show leads me to believe whoever laid on this event had extensive notice, even up to a set up to lure Mabhouh to Dubai. That looks far more like a European show or even the Company down Langley way. Messy and overblown like one of their ops, too. Too easy to lay clumsy trails back to Israeli immigrants. Could be a double blind, but not a typical Mossad show.
