Israel's long-anticipated attack on Iran's nuclear program may come as soon as Friday. Yesterday, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said Israel had eight days to strike Iran's nuclear facility at Bushehr before it would become operational. He revised the timeline to three days after word came that nuclear fuel would begin loading on Friday. We're now down to two days and counting....
It's doubtful America will take action. The State Department's response to the latest IAEA report on Iranian enrichment violations merely said, "We are hopeful that Iran will express a willingness to come to the table. We stand ready to have that dialogue." Not exactly the kind of rhetoric that instills fear of consequences.
Israel is the only country likely to mount a military strike, and the Bushehr site is an exposed facility that could be taken out with conventional weapons. It's located on Iran's west coast, less than a third of a mile from the shore; air forces would not have to spend much time overflying Iran to attack it. The plant also could be hit using sea-launched cruise missiles from Israeli submarines. With an effective range of at least 900 miles, the subs wouldn't have to transit the Strait of Hormuz to mount the attack.

CIA Confirms: Israel Bombed Nuclear Reactor in Syria
There were North Koreans and others at that installation.
I think you’re right in that a lot of muslim countries will attack Israel. Especially when they see for a fact that the U.S. won’t do anything. I also believe Israel may nuke any country that attacks with chemicals. And who could blame them.
Israel asked W’s permission in Dec. of 2008 and W blew his top that Israel would even consider it. I read that somewhere.

Do you remember Syria?
They were 100% sure that anti aircraft anti missile system the Russians sold them would take care of any attempt to destroy anything in Syria.
Then this took place.
As reported by:
The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that the installation was meant to produce plutonium, and was partially funded by North Korea. Israel bombed the reactor before it attained its planned capacity to manufacture plutonium for nuclear weapons, the CIA says.
Israel could warn the Russian technicians to stay away. The Israelis don’t have the element of surprise anyway if they do it this week.
Are they there yet?
Ezekiel 39.
Let’s just hope we get there this week. If they let the Iranians activate Bushehr it will be a tremendous mistake.
I don’t think ANYTHING will happen. Except Israel and America will be weak and do nothing while Iran gets nukes.
Then we are days away from Ezekiel 38-39.
Prepare. Repent. Be ready.
No yet... Ezekiel 39 requires Israel living at peace, with no walls... Now, read Psalm 83. A confederacy of the Arab nations surrounding Israel will attack, before the Ezekiel 39 war is even planned. Who will win? Israel, of course (read Obadiah, only 24 verses). Miraculous victory like in Ezekiel 39? More like because of Israel’s exceedingly great army (Ezekiel 37).
I can’t believe how misled the public is.
This is not about building nuclear weapons. This is about reducing the cost of providing energy to their country, so it can be spent on their own Imperialist War Machine and the Politico-Religional government (i.e. The Ruling Elite).
No matter what else you learn, remember it is always about the MONEY.
You gotta be kidding. Oh I get it.
The powerplant in question is just that. A powerplant.
It is not a uranium enrichment facility. The Iranians have lots of uranium enrichment facilities, and these are in hardened underground bunkers.
Getting this ‘powerplant’ online is just to reduce the costs of the energy needed for the citizenry, and the enrichment plants.
BUT, the power plant is not the source of the nuclear bombs.
All it can do is make the Plutonium to make the bombs. Israel has a decision to make. Obama is AWOL.
................do you think it is possible that they have headed to an ‘undisclosed location’................
Nah!
First off Zer0 ain’t smart enough, secondly, you would see Biden; Pelosi; Hitlary all scurrying for the bunkers.
I guess that Zer0 will just have to make room for his TOTUS’s in his duffel bag to be able to tell us on TV how he’s on top of the situation, and never mind the missles buzzing overhead.
Where’s Sacha? Is she back from her fun summer camp with the SS detail sleeping in her cabin? Is she going to the Vineyard with the rest of the motley crew??
The can build nuclear plants but they cannot for their life build a refinery to process their own oil and have to import all refined products.
Do you know what kind of reactor this powerplant has? Do you seriously believe that it is going to produce bomb grade Plutonium?
Israel has a decision to make.
I believe it's already been made.
Obama is AWOL.
and about a dozen other things I could think of.
When you make up your mind, let me know.
The can build nuclear plants but they cannot for their life build a refinery to process their own oil and have to import all refined products.
Which was my point.
The Iranians didn't develop(invest in) the refinery infrastructure because they were surrounded by suppliers of refined petroleum, which was much cheaper.
Investing in that infrastructure now makes no sense. Investing in coal-fired plants doesn't make much sense, for them. Nuclear power is the cost effective way to go.
The main reason is MONEY. Saving money. Money that can be spent on weapons. Any kinds of weapons, all kinds of weapons.
Stopping this powerplant will be more of a financial blow, than of a direct link to a source of nuclear weapon grade components.
