Israel Prepares For The Worst From Iran
The Strategy Page ^ | 5/25/2010 | The Strategy Page

Posted on 05/26/2010 1:35:41 AM PDT by ErnstStavroBlofeld

Over the last three years, Israel has been revising its civil defense plans, and how to deal with the growing arsenal of rockets and ballistic missiles aimed at it. The latest change is the announcement that the military is dispersing its stocks of supplies, equipment and spare parts to a larger number of (better protected) locations. For the last two years, the government has been constantly updating and revising a war planning document. This plan assumes a future war with Syria, and gives the local officials an idea of what to expect. Currently, the Israelis estimate that there would be as many as 3,300 Israeli casualties (including up to 200 dead) if Syria tried to use its long range missiles against Israel. If the Syrians used chemical warheads, Israeli casualties could be as high as 16,000. Over 200,000 Israelis would be left homeless, and it's believed about a 100,000 would seek to leave the country.

I wouldn’t even want to hazard a guess as to the number of SYRIAN casualties that would follow.

So we've gone now from the first American "Post-Racial President" to the "Post Apocalyptic American President"

This fool is presiding over a world of near chaos which he has created, virtually single-handedly, all the while partying at the "Crib", eating $100/lb Kobe beef apetizers, and numerous $100K 'date nights' with Ma Belle.......(interspersed with frequent golf outings and vacations).

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house rested, and leaned upon them, the one with his right hand, and the other with his left. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

I hope Iran doesn't make it happen, but that part of the world will get very messy if Iran uses nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons against Israel.

Strikes on nuclear facilities will not be conventional.

Response from Persian King To: Omar, “Khalifat of Islam Army”. (Notice the Date)

Today their descendents say:
IRAN Persian Pride - Islam is my enemy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBxR1f8ULRA&NR=1

This is what Muslims teach their children (If you watch this video it will change your life because it is the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my entire life - graphic warning) If you consider yourself a moderate or a liberal who thinks that “we should all just get along” or the lie that islam is a religion of peace - click away from this screen right now, you do not want to accept the truth of what it contains.
