HEADS UP - BREAKING NEWS - IRANIAN THREAT - BREAKING ON FR .
REPORTS FROM IRAN STATE:
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad has declared he will make an announcement on Wednesday July 19th, 2006 which:
"WILL LET THE MOSLEM WORLD AROUND THE GLOBE KNOW THAT AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ISRAEL'S NUCLEAR ARMS OR NUCLEAR CAPABILITY EVER AGAIN"
This provides three possible scenarios:
1. Iran is about to nuke Israel.
2. Iran will declare they have nuclear capability with at least four missiles with NUCLEAR warheads (common knowledge in intelligence circles) that can easily reach all of Israel and threaten to use these against Israel if that country does not immediately cease attacks on the Hezbollah and Lebanon.
3. In the event that Israel does not comply, Iran will declare war on Israel and fire nuclear missiles, which would not leave much of a country over which any more fighting is logical.
HOPED FOR RESULT: Depending on the extent of damage to Israel and the ability of that country to continue as a nation in a radioactively polluted environment, already weak-kneed Western powers will call for creating non-aggression pacts with nuclear Iran.
Ohios are in range in port ...
"If they fire a Nuke anywhere that entire country will be a sheet of glass."
Will it?
Or will we get bogged down by leftists,liberals, and Democrats screaming "It's Bush's Fault we are all going to die!!"?
They are fully aware of the wholesale escalation that would commence if they made Israel a glowing hole.
The retaliation, the global economic collapse. Other players becomming involved. Global chaos. The destruction of our way of life.
Trust me, they would use it.
Wouldn't it be great if he fired one and it hit Mecca...
Cold War?
I sincerely hope you are correct with that assessment. I'll be praying you are...
when the world markets dry up, and nobody needs oil as much, believe me, the rich oil producing countries will be cutting their own throats......I'd like to see that happen.....
Yup, that would be better. But I am pretty sure that Israel only has missile defenses for the terminal phase of a missile attack. Their systems can't reach a missile launching in Iran, think about what it would take to detect a launch at that distance and how fast the intercept missile would have to travel to reach the target before it left Iranian airspace. Their only choice is to track the incoming targets and fire their interceptors to meet them on the way down.

I keep hearing about the date Aug 22 can anyone fill me in on this?
Iran could be bluffing but they are taking a chance that Israel won't just wait and see what Iran is going to do and will just go ahead and nuke Iran.
Remember the Israeli motto is "never again". I believe that the Israelis are willingly to go all the way to make sure another Holocaust doesn't happen again.
In any case, if this report is true then Iran is playing a dangerous game.
It wasn't cold.
Hopefully, it will work as well as thier missle did, and create a HUGE crater over Central Iran?
Israel has Patriot missiles for shooting down incoming missiles. According to a reporter on FOX in Israel, Patriot missiles were not designed to handle the new class of longer range missiles now being fired by Hezbollah. Based on this and if it's true (I never know when the media is accurate), I doubt Israel could protect itself from long range missiles from Iran. Otherwise, incoming missiles would be shot down now.
"Does that mean the Muslims will live in the 8th century for another 1200 years?"
Iran will become the land of the nasty critters; just like the ones in those old Japanese movies.
So, has Iran found a way to give us an excuse to provide quick destruction for her? Will we be spared having to spend many American lives or much of our time to avoid hurting Iranian civilians? Or is Iran only giving us happy thoughts?
