1. Best signals source says that Tehran chief brain and strategist Rafsanjani is now in Damascus for a round of meetings with the terror camps, from the al-Assads to Nasrallah of the Hizb to the usual suspects of PFLPGC, Hamas, IJ, Al Aqsa: the topic is agreed: the struggle to liberate the Golan Heights, the West Bank, the whole of Palestine, is the same struggle as to liberate Iraq. Iran means to crush Israel and retake Palestine just as if this was the end of the second crusade.
2. The Damascus meetings turn on what is to be done to prep for the pre-empt that the Iranians aim to launch before October showdown with the UNSC. The collective attack on Israel will soften the resistance to the general assault in the Gulf region on the oilfields.
3. Rafsanjani next heads to Kuwait to warn the Sunni princes of oil that they either turn the Americans out of their back acres or they will burn with the Americans. This same message will be delivered to Bahrain and the UAE. Burn later or surrender now.
4. The Tehran regime will not wait for the expected American punch under cover of the UNSC. The IRGC will pre-empt, forcing an escalating scale of strike/counter-strike.
5. Iran possesses several nuclear warheads purchased from Central Asia and the Black Sea Fleet in the 20th century. It also has up to 3 hand made plutonium bombs acquired from the North Koreans. The Chinese and Russians both know that Iran has these weapons and will use them at the point the escalation rounds become unbearable in Tehran. The Chinese especially understand, because Bejing is proliferator in chief. Those cascades in Iran are built with Pakistani, Iraqi, North Korean, Chinese technicians.

The fact that he is allowed to post this frequently at AmSpec lends it a degree of credibility that it might otherwise go without.
That said, nobody else anywhere is reporting things like this. The US has been unpleasantly surprized many times, not just on 9/11, by intelligence that was ignored, or mis-interpreted. That makes this kind of thing quite difficult to simply dismiss and ignore. In addition, the US view of world events is frequently much different than in other parts of the world.
Who is John Bachelor, and where the hell is he reporting from?? Does anyone know anything that can prove or discredit what he says in this article??
Please take the time to go read the entire piece. There are 11 points to this, and I could only post the barest taste of what all he has to say...
Correction: There are 13 points...
read and agree. I think we are either underestimating the ragheads or we totally know what is going on but playing dumb.
I said when the ports deal was going on that I felt that the reason they went about this secretly with the UAE was to position our military secretly as they had access to military equipment being shipped out of the ports in Texas. The middle east has much to lose if they are not protected. We live in strange and dangerous times, my friend.
Batchelor has good sources.
If he is right, Israel is living on borrowed time.
Nuke war is coming.
The correct thing to do is an overwhelming air assault decapitating the Mullah regime, destroying their nuke facilities, and missile storage bases.
But Pres. Bush would rather play pointless games at the U.N.

What sense does it make for Iran to drop nuclear weapons in the middle east?
Couple reporting like this with the countless rumors that we have heard since the Soviet Union collapsed about unsecured and missing "nuclear material"....
"What sense does it make for Iran to drop nuclear weapons in the middle east?"
One of the points that John Bachelor has been harping on for months now in these posts is that We are NOT dealing with rational people. Iran is the worst kind of Theocracy, and the Mullahs who are really in charge have their own, very different views of how things ought to be.
The "Reasonable Man Theory" is normally used to determine what a "Reasonalbe Man" might do in a reasonabe situation. We are not talking about reasonable people, as we in the United States define it...
This thread seems to support my idea that the nuclear weapons threat is a smoke screen for WMDs in Syria that will be used against Isreal.
This is an interesting article from yesterday's NY Post.

Some of the 13 points don't make sense.
If Iran attacks Israel with WMD, Israel will retaliate with nukes- lots of them, & Israel MAY not limit its strikes to Iran. Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt?
So, the irradiated oil fields of Iran & the Gulf States wont be worth squat to the Russians or Chinese, & the cutoff of these supplies will hurt them just as much as the West.
Furthermore, when all the fallout from multiple nuclear detonations starts falling on other nations around the world, some may decide to join the conflict, & then we have WWIII.
I agree that Iran may try anything at any time, but I doubt that Russia or China has any desire to see Iran attack Israel at the present time.
You see, who looses this coming war may likely depend on which way the wind blows.
I think a confrontation helps the Bush regime and those conservatives in Congress looking to be elected. I don't see how this helps the liberals getting elected.
I said Bush regime... I apologize. I meant "administration"..
IT'S 1938/9 all over again with the U(seless)N playing the freckles role of the League of Nations and Iran all but shouting it's own version of Mein Kampf with the Jews in the form of Israel playing the recurring staring role of evil in the mind of another megalomaniac.
However, don't expect Israel to play Iran's scripted game. With upwards of 200 nuclear weapons I would send careful word to Amman, Damascus, Ridiah, Cairo, Kuwait City, Tripoli and all other interested parties that the end game for Israel is the end for them as well.
Before that, it's high time for the US to publically and vociferously to announce to the Persian Terrochracy that the US, as of this moment, has targeted no less than 2,500 nuclear weapons on this delusional terrorist nest. After 25 year of wanton destructive war against the US the bluff should be called. And frankly Russia and China can both go to hell. Tell them that if they don't back off all the billions in money and oil they think they're getting form the Persian maniacs will be nothing but ashes in their mouthes. And I don't think either the Russians or the Chinese will go to the mat for the Persian madman.
It's high time to face reality and I'm afraid it's bleak: War is coming.
Reporting from Sardi's.
Support this assertion, if you would.
They are crazy. They see and hear things that are not there.
Another Bill Clinton legacy....Plus North Korea and whatever he gave to China....Can we nail him for TREASON now,??
