The israelis were never a good source of intelligence.
EDIT:The israelis were never a reliable source of information.
They definately have a lot of it, via The Mossad. They just withdraw and withhold for their own political agenda.
As for anticipation of war, just look at 1973. They\'ve been spouting a defensive attack for a decade now, and have pretty much accused every country in the mid-east of planning a war.
Iraq is in no condition for war, especially against Israel with the current American tensions. It wouldn\'t torpedo any attakc on Baghdad, it would just give America a bigger excuse to go out and kill more civilians. And why the hell would they be working with Iran?
