Iran Poised to Strike?
Jerusalem Newswire ^ | May 14, 2006 | Stan Goodenough

Posted on 08/09/2006 7:36:27 AM PDT by richardtavor

Indicators observed by independent Iran watchers during the past week are raising the question that nuclear-seeking Iran is not merely playing a serious game of brinkmanship, but is actually preparing to strike at Israel, European and US interests.

Headlined "Iran declares war," a May 11 editorial in the New York Sun expressed the belief that a recent letter written by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which had been widely interpreted as a peaceful gesture, "is in fact a declaration of war."

According to the Sun, a coded message is contained in the closing section of the eight-page letter. While the rest of the message had been translated into English, the salutation in had not. It reads "Vasalam Ala Man Ataba'al hoda" and means "Peace only unto those who follow the true path."

I think that whenever Iran strikes against Israel they will also give the order to violently activate the various Hezbollah cells which are already here in the U.S.

Hate to see it happen but I'm convinced that another direct attack on us is the only thing that might wake the U.S. up that there is a war going on and it's against us. HELLO!!!!

Will the UN Security Council types forbid any retaliation on the part of Israel via the US?..........

Veto, stop funding U.N., give U.N notice to leave and set their operations up in perhaps Sudan, Zimbabwe, Somalia.
Advise security council that the U.S. has taken sides (already known for years) with Israel and peaceful democracies and that the council can expect automatic VETOs of every resolution presented against Israel or the U.S.
Stop ANY aid to countries who vote against U.S. interests.


Intoduce resolutions in the security council against every arab league country for human rights violations and keep reintroducing them non-stop.

it would be nice to have a star wars system in place

Why bother when our government refuses to deal with our borders, our ridiculous loose visa policies.

We're going to see devastating attacks from within our country, not from outside missles. We're asking for it via our wide open border policy. Why should N Korea or Iran develope huge expensive missle systems when all they have to do is activate their personnel already in place in our country, thanks to our hospitality and foolish policies.

I wonder how long we have to wait for the radioactivity to die down before we occupy?

Why occupy? Destroy them and forget them.

"no more exist in the USA"

Please cite a source for that. I know Carter restrained development and deployment, but I thought Reagan made them an integral part of the arsenal.

Ahmadinejad will drop the bomb if he gets one!!

Exactly. What does he have to lose? He believes that if they are then nuked then everyone will be martyred and go to Paradise. If not and it throws the world into chaos, then the Midah will return. It's a win-win. The old philosophy of Mutually Assured Destruction being a deterrant can and will not work because these people are only too happy to die. Millions of them. Scary as hell....

which is a nuclear strike on Jerusalem.

Dome on the Rock and Al Aqsa mosque also wiped out I hope.
Personally I think some Israeli terrorists should have already blown up those two joints. Israel of course would deny involvement. There is absolutely no historical significance of these joints that relate to Mohammed or Islam. Their significance was invented by Islamists.

Not Jerusalem. The temple on the mount is there.

Mostly taken over by radical Islamists

The post I was replying to was about if Iran set off a nuke in the U.S.

The president of Iran would have to make an announcement taking responsibility for a nuke attack on the USA. What are the odds that Iran would make such an announcement. They're cowards.

Iran likes to keep the pot stirred. As a result, the price of oil remains at high levels giving the regime greater oil revenues, which helps them remain in power.

I for one would gladly sacrifice substantially to see Iran's oil infrastructure completely wiped out. This should be our very first target. Deny them income first and then destroy the rest of the country.

I would not be at all surprised to see North Korea mount an attack on SK, on or about 22 August.

Yes, it could happen at the same time as Iran attacks Israel. Iran is certain we wouldn't committ to direct war with them. And our left wing here in the U.S. would do their best to sabotage our efforts.

Unfortunately that would also be a optimal time for China to move against Taiwan as well.

Don't forget Chavez. Might as well have a world wide party.
