And Rumfeld's maxim may apply here: There are always those things you don't know which you don't know you don't know.

It's DEBKA, folks>>>>>

This is one time I'll believe DEBKA. The Israelis don't invent threats to their survival for internet chatfests. Those DEBKA guys in that flat in Tel Aiv, eating Kosher pizza may spread a lot of manure when they post stuff about the USA, but when it's about Israel and nukes I'd bet on they're being very much spot on.

In a case like this, it's kind of like shaking a set of car keys to distract a baby. Get his head to turn the other way-- I'd unleash a virulent strain of smallpox or some sort (after innoculating our own people of course), and give them something else to think about.

Is the leadership dispersed? Aren't they all in Tehran?

"Remember the scene from Dr. Strangelove, with the guy riding the nuke bronco style?

Now picture Durbin doing that."

I would rather picture Turban durbin as a meal for those ravenous wild boars seen in the movie "Hannibal".

"It would also mean that Tehran has been stringing along the International Atomic Energy Agency – the IAEA – and the three European powers, Britain, France and Germany, in months of negotiation." Duh! What the hell do anyone think they are doing? ------------------------------------------------ Here you go. Straight from the horse's mouth: http://memri.org/bin/articles.cgi?Page=countries&Area=iran&ID=SP95705 Chief Iranian Nuclear Affairs Negotiator Hosein Musavian: The Negotiations with Europe Bought Us Time to Complete the Esfahan UCF Project and the Work on the Centrifuges in Natanz ....The IAEA gave us a 50-day extension to suspend the enrichment and all related activities. But thanks to the negotiations with Europe we gained another year, in which we completed (the UCF) in Esfahan. .... Yeah, thanks to the yappers of our Euro buddies, Iran completed their centrifuges. They need to be shutdown. Now.

If 350 targets need hitting, let's hit 360.

[Brilliant]

Who said he'd do it voluntarily?

[Dilbert56]

350 targets - sounds like eleven B-2 sorties with another 11 for redundancy.

Remember during the summer the CIA said it would be ten years until Iran had a nuke. Now even the IAEA says it's a matter of months. Guess the CIA wanted a trifecta, having missed India and Pakistan.

"Is the leadership dispersed? Aren't they all in Tehran?"

As far as I'm concerned, the leadership is in Moscow.

LOL! (with pain added)

Slate the mullahs for turbanation..

That would be "dispersed." :)

[strategofr]

"dispersed."

yeah.
