April 5th D-Day for Iran Leaked by Russia?

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...

Attacking them on our traditionally holiest weekend would be INCREDIBLY STUPID.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Welcome to FR and this thread.

[cbkaty]

I too think an attack is likely not imminent.

Regardless....I bet the plan is in place.... As usual, we must be backed into a corner...

There was a NBC reporter that got his balls shot off recently in DC. It was putin's russian mafia. It was done due to a report this reporter did on the billions of russian money stashed throughout the world by putin. Bush told putin under no uncertain terms to NEVER again come on US soil an attack any citizen. Bush would expose all the billions stashed throughout the world one of his conditions was leave Iran NOW.

Did you happen to watch Hannity and Colmes last night??

Duncan Hunter was on ...but unfortunately, he was on with 4 other people so he didn't get much airtime..but, he was HOT about the bill that was passed yesterday, of course..

However, he was VERY upset about some "rule" in there that says that Bush/Pentagon cannot mount a strike (I wish I had videoed it so I could get Duncan's precise words)...without waiting 15 DAYS and going before Congress for permission first!!!!

I have freepmailed some people hoping to get some clarification about what Hunter specifically said..but suffice to say...if this is TRUE, then the dems are determined to protect NUTJOB...rather than Israel or the USA.

No proof of nukes. No chance of ground troops going in. We're not gonna baby-nuke. Dozens of hard targets would need to be hit simultaneously (if we even know where they all are). No strong/friendly anti-government movement waiting in the wings. A wag-the-dog look to it all...

My thought, no time soon.

OH MY GOSH!! I did too. I watch Blast from the Past whenever it's on cable (and it's been on alot lately). I love that movie. Just love it. I think it would have done better with a better title. And when I heard that song, I was reminded again and went and searched the lyrics.

I love the part in Blast when Adam explains to his Father how the cold war is over....it's so funny. The whole movie is funny.

April 5th is only a couple days after the full moon -- not exactly ideal.

[processing please hold]

I've probably seen it dozens of times. I love it too. My favorite part is when they're in that 40's club and he dances with those two women.

I love the part in Blast when Adam explains to his Father how the cold war is over....it's so funny

And his Father didn't buy it for one second. It is a funny movie. The song is perfect for it.

Dozens of hard targets would need to be hit simultaneously (if we even know where they all are).

Provided they don't have any nuclear warheads ready yet, we don't really need to hit the nuke facilities.

We just take out their refineries, port facilities, and water treatment plants.

Let 'em pound eat sand.

Cheers!

Yes, it's so sexy when he sings Mr. Perry Como's version of THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE.

[Brilliant]

We're not going to invade Iran.

[gotribe]

Where is Israel is all of this?

They're sitting back like us, munching popcorn.

[Seadog Bytes]

Thanks for the ping!

[gotribe]

Looks like 2007 is the year....

2006 - scaled penetration and lethality testing
2007 - Conduct Massive Ordnance Penetrator Demonstration
2007 - full-scale performance demonstration against realistic hard and deeply buried targets

[gotribe]

Since our launch is almost certain to start at night, it is very likely that it will occur on April 7 iranian time, not on Good Friday iranian time.

The look she gives him when he's singing it to her is adorable.

[Mr. Mojo]

We're not going to invade Iran.

We're certainly not going to occupy Iran. .....nor police and rebuild. Nation-building isn't an exercise we'll be engaging in again anytime soon, of that you can be sure.

But a quick and decisive strike against their nuke sites, Navy, Air Force, and perhaps oil facilities is certainly in the cards. Allowing those nutballs into the nuclear club isn't an option. And anyway, such a strike wouldn't allow the Dems time to generate any opposition -- it'd all be over be they could scream "quagmire."

When the Russians say "Do Svidanie," get the aitch e double hockey sticks out of Dodge or update your will.

There's a reason Vlad put the Iranians on the "pay as you go" plan. I wonder if the mullahs have fully digested the point that the Russians get to keep the money, and that a 97% done nuclear reactor does them 0% good.

[SunkenCiv]

I think it will start July 4th.
