As I mentioned before, the Russian Nuclear workers pulling out of the Bushehr nuclear site in Iran already clearly indicated they thought the site would be bombed pretty soon. Russian consulatants are reportedly also pulling out of many other places and returning to Russia.

Alan,

I looked up Ma'ariv but it's in Hebrew. I don't know anyone who can read Hebrew.If one of the readers of this your blog could translate a couple of paragraphs of the article I would be very grateful . 5:43 PM

Here's the translation from Ma'ariv:

Two weeks ago there were reports of two Iranian officers missing: Col. Amir Mahmad Shirazi and Brigadier General Mahmad Soultani, commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in the Gulf region. The official newspaper of the Corps accused Israel and the US of kidnapping the two and threatened to kidnap American and Israeli officers and to "throw them in the cockfighting arena".

"Iran is on the defense", stated yesterday Nicholas Burns, US Under Secretary for Political Affairs, who also mentioned that Russia's refusal to supply uranium for the Bushar nuclear reactor, as well as the tightening economic sanctions on Iran, proves that "international pressure is working".

It is worth mentioning that the Bush administration has decided to undermine the current Iranian government, and that the reports of mass desertions/defections (sorry, same word in Hebrew) of senior officers could be part of the psychological war waged against the ayatollah regime.

In addition, a German news agency reported, quoting Novosty (Russian news agency), that the US is poised to attack targets located in Iran in two weeks' time. This information is based on Russian military experts' analysis, who claim that Washington has already decided to launch the attack on Friday, April 6th, and that within ten hours different types of missiles (including cruising ones) will pound 20 nuclear facilities in Iran.

Also to be attacked are the central command of the Iranian army, Revolutionary Guards, and Iranian Navy bases, in order to prevent Iran from blocking the Straights of Hurmuz.

Well, they have just blown the surprise element, haven't they...

When Russians began scrambling to get our of the way and the UN sanction vote was unanimous, the signs were becoming the writing on the wall.

This date is close to what some Freepers have been saying privately.

Well, against a deep underground facility which is even offset from its entrances and ventilation shafts, nothing would work better than a sizable nuke. Indeed one could argue that nothing else would work.

paragraphs of the article I would be very grateful.

Ping to Alouette!

Hmmmmmmm BUMP

There's no way an attack is imminent. There's no such thing as a surprise attack (by us) anymore. Before we attack there will be umpteen warnings and many leaks. We'll know an attack is imminent, just not the exact date.

It could happen next month, but my view is we'll see more covert operations and continued economic and diplomatic pressure until at least the 4th quarter of this year. If that doesn't work, we could see surgical airstrikes in the 4th quarter of 2007. Pop some popcorn...this will be quite a show before it's over.

One strange part of this
is Iran picked a bad time [?!]
to kidnap those Brits.

Now, Coalition
forces massing _near_ Iran
can pretend [?] to be

a rescue mission.
Hell, even the invasion
can be a "rescue" . . .

[Pub Linkser--80]

That sounds right, unless Israel launches a bombing attack. The Israelis would probably have to attack without warning.

Nothing like our "allies" tipping off the enemy. No matter. That facility will be a pile of bricks soon enough.

I too think an attack is likely not imminent. I do however think it's a good thing to keep them guessing, as it's likely to consume their resources having to be on alert all the time.

Specially with the Chinese and Russians providing intel to the Islamic regime on a regular basis using their own more sophisiticated technologies than possessed by Iran.

The world will be informed of our surprise attack when it is published in the New York Times.

Perhaps, but knowing the absolute certainty that there are traitors in the Congress, and other high offices, the Prez is much more likely to surprise everyone if he deems a no-warning attack necessary.

[Pub Linkser--80]

Suffice it to say that congressional democRATs will not be informed in advance of any airstrikes by the US or Israel.

It's also very close to a full moon.

One could. One would be wrong.

Remember those Brits?
One or more of those fifteen
may be James Bond types

and the whole "capture"
may have been inserting them
with tiny gadgets . . .

(Yeah, it sounds crazy,
but I've never figured out
why the Brit gunboat

allowed its Marines
to be captured with no fight.
Spying's a reason . . .)
