I've Been Thinking:

Meir Dagan has been the head of the Mossad since 2002.
He has just been asked to continue to serve for another year.

This is a very important move on Israel's part.
Israel does not want to switch intelligence chiefs at this critical time.
The Mossad relies heavily on a combination of human intel and the creative interception and disruption of enemy activity.
The future of Israel, literally, depends on the decisions made by and the actions taken by the Mossad.

Dagan's main charge is to find a solution or two or three for the inevitable. To proactively respond to Iran's nuclear threat to wipe Israel off the map.
Of course there are plans in the work.

Dagan has been a very effective leader.
During his tenure the agency has doubled in size.
He successfully destroyed the Syrian nuclear power plant that was built by North Korea.
He coordinated the assassinations of major terrorists and attacks upon weapons convoys far from Israel's borders.

One of Dagan's main charges is to find a solution to the Iranian nuclear problem.
Israel must proactively respond to Israel's threat to wipe them off the earth.
Israel's response is in the works.
