Interesting read, thanks.
The messianic aspect of the president's religion is frightening. I would like to hear what the emigre population in LA is saying the plan to do.
Long range weather prospects for Iran this Spring is very, very hot!
The greatest military force the world has ever known, has virtually surrounded Iran.
We shall see how dedicated to the Masada vow of, "Never again", the Israelis really are.
I say do it today
A very good article on the current situation with Iran.
Good article. Israel will not tip its hand, so expect the unexpected.
Agreed. Excellent article.
Thought the international community and the US should have done more to put pressure for questions regarding the Iranian election to be answered.
From another FR thread article. Talking about Saddams bunker.
It's huge - 1,800 square metres - and was not even scratched by any of the seven bunker buster bombs, or 20 cruise missiles fired at it during the war.
According to our military, the Iranian facilities are better built than Saddams and presents a problem for us.
I guarantee you, that right now our military is figuring how to get at the Iranian bunkers since we couldn't destroy Saddams bunkers with the present Bunker Busters.
Regime change in Iran is needed. NOW!
I get suspicious of people who say they are building peaceful nuclear power plants, but work on the technology underground in reinforced concrete bunkers, spread throughout the country. -Tom
Those words may be the only warning anyone ever gets. There was a point during the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 when it appeared that the Egyptians had broken though Israeli lines in the Sinai at the same time the Syrians were about to drive across the Golan. Although never verified, it’s been reported on some authority that Moshe Dayan placed the Israeli nuclear strike force on full alert, the planes at the ends of the runways with their engines hot, their weapons armed, ready to head for their targets.
Consider everyone warned. If they're going to take you out, it is fair to take them with you.
"“...I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink…. And they were rapt. It seemed as if a hand was holding them there and had opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic republic.”"
Satan himself, or a spirit of mesmerism - just what Hitler had.
You’d think this would lend some sense of urgency to efforts to defuse the crisis, but you’d be wrong. The Jews are once again expected to wait while the dice are being tossed, this time until Tel Aviv and Haifa vanish in blinding flashes of fire. Israel has a nuclear arsenal estimated at two hundred bombs. These have never been tested, but with the state of nuclear technology, that’s not a necessity. As Ted Taylor, the late senior U.S. bomb designer, once put it,
“No nuclear weapon ever designed has failed to go off.”
But how would Israeli jets get to Iran? Getting to Iraq (when they bombed Saddam's reactor in the ealry 80s) was easy--a straight flight across feckless Jordan.
Getting to Iran would require a flight across Jordan plus across US-controlled Iraq (would the US permit this?), or a long flight across the northern frontier of Saudi Arabia (would the Saudis not attempt to engage the Israelis?)

Precisely! If all they wanted was nuclear energy, why all the threats against Israel and shifty behavior with the idiots at IAEA.
They are playing a very dangerous game and stirring the pot seems to be exactly what they seek. Iran's only possible motive would appear to be forcing the return of the 12th Imam (unless, of course, they just have a death wish).
"If they're going to take you out, it is fair to take them with you."
Only if you know where you are going and they can't go with you.
