QUIETLY, U.S. PREPARES FOR ISRAEL STRIKE ON IRAN

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has been examining the prospect that Israel will attack Iranian nuclear facilities in an attempt to prevent the Islamic republic from completing an atomic bomb as early as this year.

U.S. analysts and government sources said the Bush administration has discussed the prospect of an Israeli air strike at several levels of government. They said the issue has been examined in terms of the diplomatic, military and security implications for the United States, particularly its military presence in Iraq and the Persian Gulf region.

The issue of Iran's nuclear weapons program was discussed by President George Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during the latter's visit to the White House on April 14. The sources said the two men were alone during the brief discussion in an effort by the president to gauge a likely Israeli response to the completion of an Iranian nuclear bomb.

"It would be intolerable for the Middle East if they [Iran] get a nuclear weapon," Bush said after meeting Sharon.

The U.S. cannot openly provide support nor can they appear to be giving the Israelis a wink and a nod as they turn their heads while Israel flies over Iraq.

Hey junior... tuxedo diplomacy ain't worth a rats ass with these sand Nazi's. You think France, Germany and Russia give a flying f_ _k if Iran gets nukes? You think they're gonna push for an embargo... a blockade?!

Iran and North Korea should not be allowed the amenities given to civilized nations. They should be treated the way you would treat a mad dog... and you should feel no remorse in completion of that duty.

Sidebar: The UN nuclear watchdog committee, headed by a sand Nazi, blamed Israel over the weekend for creating nuclear instability in the middle east. What are the winds a-tellin' you laddie?

Chill out, cowboy. Things are never as simple as nuking them till they glow and shooting them in the dark.

China... Russia... I still see both as long-term threats to our nation. I believe the next war will not be a cold one, unfortunately.

As Albright Met Yeltsin with START III Proposal,
Chernomyrdin Supervised Nuclear Missile Exercise to Strike U.S.

February 26

While Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was meeting with President Boris Yeltsin on February 21, Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin "was at the Odintsovo nuclear command center, overseeing an exercise whose assignment was 'to destroy the U.S. in less than an hour,'" Segodnya military correspondent Pavel Felgengauer writes. In comments monitored by OMRI Daily Digest, Felgengauer adds that Albright's proposal for START III asymmetrical nuclear weapons reductions in favor of Russia is an "attractive" idea.

Revelation 18

The World Mourns Babylon's Fall

9 "The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, "Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, "What is like this great city?'
19 "They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, "Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.'

Also: Isaiah 47, Jeremiah 50:43-
Both chapters end with a flash.

We should constantly tweak their noses until they decide to enter the modern age and give up their slavish devotion to the mythical caliphate
