This document appears to be a page (123) from a memoir draft by Ehud Barak, contained within House Oversight Committee records. It details a tense June 2008 private meeting in Israel between Barak, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, and US President George W. Bush, where Bush explicitly forbade Israel from launching a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. The text recounts Barak's retort to Bush, using an artillery metaphor to criticize US foreign policy in Afghanistan and Iraq while missing the 'real target' of Iran.
