(New York Times) Thom Shanker - After meetings this week with senior Israeli officials, Gen. Martin E.

The Israelis "of course want us to continue to present a credible military threat to support those diplomatic and economic efforts....Since I was here last year, we have better military options than we did a year ago." "That's because we've continued to refine them," he said. "We've continued to develop technology, we've continued to train and plan."
