Israel warned us against Iraq invasion, US official says

Chief of staff of former secretary of state reveals that large number of senior Israeli officials warned Bush administration that invasion of Iraq would be destabilizing to region. 'The Israelis were telling us Iraq is not the enemy - Iran is the enemy,' he says...

Now what about Debkafile's "exclusive report" of a massive rally to smash through the Rafah terminal on September 1st?? Here's the story Debkafile posted about this attack a couple days ago that was supposed to happen today-September 1st:

DEBKAfile Exclusive: High alert at American Sinai monitors HQ, Egyptian security forces and Israel for Hamas mass rally Sept 1 to smash through Rafah terminal "Hamas plans to use 100,000 protesters against the hardships in Gaza, which are blamed on Egypt’s closure of the Rafah outlet, as a battering ram to break through the crossing Saturday and link up with fellow Palestinians in Egyptian N. Sinai...The US National Guard unit manning the Multinational Force Organization’s Al Gorah headquarters in el Arish has declared a high alert and pulled in reinforcements from Sharm el-Sheikh after receiving intelligence of a plan to attack them under cover of the Gaza demonstration. Their commander was warned by Egyptian officials that “events highly dangerous to the region are expected Saturday.”

It's 5pm Saturday, Israel time as I write and I'm not seeing any news on this border clash. Debkafile - 2 notches down on the credibility meter (??)
