I was beginning to wonder if Ohlmert had it in him. Hopefully nukes don't have to be used, will be used and get IMANUTJOB's attention.

You play fire and you will get burned! Got that IMANUTJOB?

I sure hope so, but the London Times is putting Israel at serious risk by claiming this. That Imanutjob is just crazy enough to try to take out Israel before they take him out.

"British Media sources..."

The BBC, no doubt. This will definitely escalate tensions, and may push that nutjob in Tehran to launch a pre-emptive strike.

Media Reality Check 101:

Of course they have drawn up such plans. Every country with any military, nuclear capable or not, has plans drawn up to attack any potential enemy.

This is not news.

PS, of course they are secret. Idiotic MSM

You are wishing for a nuclear war? Praying for it? Iran's nuclear facilities are distributed, hidden, and buried deep. Nothing short of a full scale invasion and an occupation lasting some months could comprehensively destroy the bulk of them. The only other way to stop Iran getting nukes would be to lay waste the cities, killing the people who work in the facilities and destroying the industrial base that makes that work possible. Killing, into the bargain, hundreds of thousands if not millions of civilians who didn't {actually} vote for Ahmadinejad.

Even so-called tactical nukes would kill tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of civilians, all that without even setting back Iran's nuclear program that much.

Considering the cost to Iran of launching a first strike, isn't it more likely that even if Iran does get nukes, it will follow the lead of all other nuclear powers and keep the bombs as insurance?

I would suggest we all stock up on champagne and our other favorite beverages for the celebrations when a Western power finally grows the b@lls to stand up to a Muzzie country. I've heard that a nuke can be exploded in the upper atmosphere over a region and knock out all electronics within a large radius. This should be an alternate option if they don't want to actually nuke the facilities directly. The Muzzies behave like they're still in the dark ages, let them live it for real. No phones, no computers, no electrical ... anything. Or just turn them to nothing. That's okay, too.

You are wrong if you think Iran is not well aware of this possibility and planned accordingly. Israel is going to need wide and deep intelligence to locate all Iranian installations- which are widely spread out and deep in the ground.

Under any other administration, I'd say if anyone could do it, it's Israel. Now, like everyone else, I doubt it.

I agree.

A nuclear strike had better hit everything, because if they miss one warhead... Israel is toast.

It all depends on the details of the article when that emerges in the next hour. Of course Israel would have plans like this, but if it's going to be the front page story of the Times then the planning may not be contingency but operational. That would be news.

"This should cause the non-serious players to fold (like the EU), although the withdrawal may be accompanied by a lot of hysterics."

Hmmm, something that I had not thought about before. Is the EU a nuclear power, or do the French and British retain sovereignty in such matters.
