Don't get up my hopes like this! I'd personally donate money to Ariel Sharon if he went ahead with this plan.

They did it once before and they'll do it again.

Why wait until they get nuclear weapons before you strike?

Knip it in the bud now and they will...

Iran likes to brag that it kills Jews. The Israelis are simply taking them at their word.

Israel Deploys Nuclear Arms in Submarines

Israel Deploys Nuclear Arms in Submarines
Peter Beaumont in London and Conal Urquhart in Jerusalem
Sunday October 12, 2003

Israeli and American officials have admitted collaborating to deploy US-supplied Harpoon cruise missiles armed with nuclear warheads in Israel's fleet of Dolphin-class submarines, giving the Middle East's only nuclear power the ability to strike at any of its Arab neighbours.

The unprecedented disclosure came as Israel announced that states 'harbouring terrorists' are legitimate targets, responding to Syria's declaration of its right to self-defence should Israel bomb its territory again. According to Israeli and Bush administration officials interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the sea-launch capability gives Israel the ability to target Iran more easily should the Iranians develop their own nuclear weapons.

I impatiently await the headline:

"Israel strikes Iranian reactor - Muslim world enraged"

I'll bet the Headline will have the US, Europe and the rest of the world enraged as well, just like after Israel bombed the nuclear reactor in Iraq.

Methinks Harpoon cruise missiles could easily take out a coastal reactor...

Think they could reach Mecca? ;)

Don't worry, Iran. They won't "mess around" it'll be serious, and over before you know it.

"Iran warns Israel `not to mess around with us"

I see Iran has employed Bahgdad Bob.

The mullahs have to be skitzing about now.

Thanks! Most of Israel's Arab "neighbors" deserve a little striking. This should, at least, keep them thinking. Then again, maybe not.

Anyway, that's the best news I've heard all day.

I don't believe Israel will 'mess around'. I believe they will be totally serious.

FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN
Israel to attack Iran?
German magazine reports plan to target nukes

Posted: October 12, 2003

The Israeli government is drawing up plans to attack Iran's nuclear program, according to a report in the German magazine Der Spiegel.

The report says a special purpose force of the secret service Mossad received the order two months ago to prepare appropriate plans of attack.

The plan calls for the destruction of a half dozen targets by F-16 combat bombers "simultaneously as well as completely" – an action, described as delicate, but "technically possible."

In 1981 Israel bombed the Osirak nuclear power station near Baghdad, smashing former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's nuclear program. But a similar air attack against Iran would be far riskier. Its nuclear sites are dotted across vast expanses and Iran's eastern border is 800 miles from Israeli air bases, making bombing sorties vulnerable.

Israel has come to regard Iran as its chief unconventional military threat since the downfall of Saddam Hussein in April.

Israel has neither confirmed nor denied having nuclear arms, but Washington has accepted it as a nuclear power since 1969 and analysts say it has up to 200 sophisticated nuclear weapons.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has imposed an Oct. 31 deadline on Iran to prove it is not secretly developing nuclear weapons and also urged it to suspend enriching uranium, which the United States claims could be used to make nuclear bombs.
