Experts: Iran May Retaliate With Terror If Nuclear Sites Attacked

Washington Post ^ | April 1, 2006 | Dana Priest

[FairOpinion]

As tensions increase between the United States and Iran, U.S. intelligence and terrorism experts say they believe Iran would respond to U.S. military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide.

Iran would mount attacks against U.S. targets inside Iraq, where Iranian intelligence agents are already plentiful, predicted these experts. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said.

U.S. officials would not discuss what evidence they have indicating Iran would undertake terrorist action, but the matter "is consuming a lot of time" throughout the U.S. intelligence apparatus, one senior official said. "It's a huge issue," another said.

How can you be sure their retaliation will be minimized?
And how do you know their plans and capability? This is not Iraq and they have not been blocked from acquiring all kinds of weaponry.

[TheForceOfOne]

These people understand superior military strength and respect those willing to use it against their aggressors, everyone else like the Euroweenies they simply laugh at and proceed with their plans of destructions and domination of politics and power in the Middle East.

The paper tiger foreign policy of the Clinton Administration and the Carter Administration have direct ties to what is happening today.

[pcottraux]

I'm not sure that it will be. I'm not sure of anything. All I'm saying is if we handle this smartly enough we can avoid a major disaster (but it will be very difficult).

If you read my posts you will see that I'm the LAST person on Earth trying to minimalize Iran's capabilities, and I'm DEFINITELY not under the thinking that they're the same as Iraq.

Lots of daisy-cutters...

[pcottraux]

...meaning...

[lowbridge]

Maybe someday, someone with a LOT of time on their hands can go back through news stories and articles, pick out the various thousands of "predictions" from supposed experts, politicians, the incredible intelligent elite and show the world that they have a batting average of maybe .010

A fun example of this would be to read the predictions of those who criticized Reagan's foreign policy when Reagan was in office. Claiming that the Soviet Union was here to stay....forever. After the Soviet Union collapsed, those experts claimed that Reagan had nothing to do with it. The Soviet Union was bound to fall on it's own.

And each day the enrichment for fueling bombs continues apace. Perhaps the bombs are already assembled.

It's all bad.

I rather agree with you. And the evil power mongers who have set it up this way seem . . . almost eager . . . for the blood to run. Horribly dispicable.

----------------------------------------

But for the Grace of God and a relationship with HIM--and having read the end of The Book and knowing that He (and us in Him) win . . . that would be quite true.

The following is a rough cryptic road map of the evil doers . . . in utopian terms, of course.

Excerpted paragraphs from:

In the public library in Elberton, I found a book written by the man who called himself R.C. Christian. I discovered that the monument he commissioned had been erected in recognition of Thomas Paine and the occult philosophy he espoused. Indeed, the Georgia Guidestones are used for occult ceremonies and mystic celebrations to this very day. Tragically, only one religious leader in the area had the courage to speak out against the American Stonehenge, and he has recently relocated his ministry.

THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.

3. Unite humanity with a living new language.

4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.

5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

8. Balance personal rights with social duties.

9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.

10. Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.

Limiting the population of the earth to 500 million will require the extermination of nine-tenths of the world's people. The American Stonehenge's reference to establishing a world court foreshadows the current move to create an International Criminal Court and a world government. The Guidestones' emphasis on preserving nature anticipates the environmental movement of the 1990s, and the reference to "seeking harmony with the infinite" reflects the current effort to replace Judeo-Christian beliefs with a new spirituality.

The message of the American Stonehenge also foreshadowed the current drive for Sustainable Development. Any time you hear the phrase "Sustainable Development" used, you should substitute the term "socialism" to be able to understand what is intended. Later in this syllabus you will read the full text of the Earth Charter which was compiled under the direction of Mikhail Gorbachev and Maurice Strong. In that document you will find an emphasis on the same basic issues: control of reproduction, world governance, the importance of nature and the environment, and a new spirituality. The similarity between the ideas engraved on the Georgia Guidestones and those espoused in the Earth Charter reflect the common origins of both.

Yoko Ono, the widow of John Lennon, was recently quoted as referring to the American Stonehenge, saying:

"I want people to know about the stones...We're headed toward a world where we might blow ourselves up and maybe the globe will not exist...it's a nice time to reaffirm ourselves, knowing all the beautiful things that are in this country and the Georgia Stones symbolize that. "

What is the true significance of the American Stonehenge, and why is its covert message important? Because it confirms the fact that there was a covert group intent on

1. Dramatically reducing the population of the world.
2. Promoting environmentalism.
3. Establishing a world government.
4. Promoting a new spirituality.

Certainly the group that commissioned the Georgia Guidestones is one of many similar groups working together toward a New World Order, a new world economic system, and a new world spirituality. Behind those groups, however, are dark spiritual forces. Without understanding the nature of those dark forces it is impossible to understand the unfolding of world events.

The fact that most Americans have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones or their message to humanity reflects the degree of control that exists today over what the American people think. We ignore that message at our peril.

Daisy-cutter is a conventional bomb - - a big one...

[pcottraux]

I like the name.

[Windsong]

In 20 years, maybe..

[pcottraux]

You really think so?

[M. Espinola]

Strike now before Iran and their cohorts do.

[khnyny]

"This will only get worse.
We better not wait until they are capable of waging a nuclear terror war"

Why do you think we're testing a bunker buster bomb in the Nevada desert near Las Vegas? It's gearing up for the showdown.

[Thud]

Ya think?

[Thud]

IMO we'll bomb, they'll retaliate, and we'll invade after they retaliate using their retaliation as a justification. Whatever works. But they can hurt us if we let them, and the Bush adminstration will let them.

Are you a fanatic? Are you extreme in your religious beliefs? Do you want the USA to become a theocracy? If so, which religion, sect, and line of teaching do you demand be coercively enforced upon the entire population on pain of death: Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Mormon, Methodist, Church of Christ, or will it be the other +3,000 sects, schism, or cults that inhabit the USA in Christianity alone? Would you enforce Sunday blue laws, Seventh Day Adventist sabbathkeeping, or muslim Fridays? Are you a strict Sihk that would make the US Capital Building the second Golden Temple? Are you a Sunni or Shiite that demands whatever they demand? Should the nation observe kosher, lent, or days of purity as dictated by the sacred texts of Hinduism?

Will you allow for religious freedom and freedom of conscience? Will you allow people to leave your philosophy for another, say to convert to Judaism or Hinduism? Or, as in all theocracies, would you use the armed forces to enforce your dogmatism? Will you use the military and civil police to enforce a specific inquisition? Would you stop the sciences if they disagreed with your holy text? Would you burn the Library of Alexandria to rid the world of paganism?

Let's put it this way, there have been theocratic governments set up in No. America over the centuries prior to the establishment of the USA. And they were great places to live if you were the religion of choice, and that you didn't cross the line. But God help you if you were "different" from the established government religion. As is always the case with tyannical dictatorships run by idealogues, theocracy is a wonderful utopia of whimsy that is a dismal failure in practice.

My point in this thread, and in my philosphy in general is that the USA (and it's system under the Constitution) is unique because of its tolerance, not its INtolerance--especially in the areas of science, philosophy, and religion.

Therefore, when I make comments about religious fanatics controlling government, I am referring to that sort of fanaticism. Would you not agree that the Taliban and the Shiite fundamentalists have done more harm than good in their zeal. This then is the original intent of my remark.

However, if you think that the mullahs of Iran and Afghanistan have done a bang-up job for their countries and the world, or that the Inquisition pushed forward the modern sciences, or that the massacres in the name of Buddha somehow made the world a brighter place of love and freedom, then by all means elucidate us.

The USSR, Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, India, Israel, USA and most of Europe have had nukes for a few decades now. No one ever used one.

Oh? Please pick up a history book sometime.

[Smokin' Joe]

Correction: We did, twice. And we'll do it again if we have to.

[7mmMag@LeftCoast]

Here we go again........

I love how the press can make any claim they want using the so called "unnamed sources" crap. It is incredibly sad how they can get enough 'dead from the neck' up types out there to believe this tripe. They use this tactic over and over again to try and sway the ignorant to their leftist view points.

I say bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities into dust RIGHT NOW. Then if there is even a whisper of retaliatory terror attack any where in the world, take out their entire government and the mullahs. Make no statements, make no apologies.
