Israeli official declares: 'We're preparing for war'
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | August 22, 2010

While Israel is hoping for a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear ambitions, the Jewish state is also preparing for "a time of war," declared a Knesset member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ruling Likud party.

"We are prepared for all risks," said Likud Knesset Member Danny Danon. "And I think our enemies should know that even though we are speaking of peace, we are getting ready for a time of war, as well."

Danon, the deputy speaker of Israel's parliament, was speaking in a radio interview with WND senior reporter Aaron Klein, who hosts an investigative program on New York's WABC 770 AM Radio.

Danon hinted that Israel may take action if the world does not stop the Iranian nuclear threat, recalling Israel's lone strike on Iraq's nuclear reactor in 1981.

Stated Danon: "We are ready for all scenarios, and we are able to defend our civilian population. I cannot tell you how long we can wait more. But we prefer to wait and see if the international bodies are acting, or [whether] it will be only the burden of Israel, like it was in the early '80s, when the great leader, Menachem Begin, [made] the great decision to bomb the nuclear reactor in Iraq."

Mostly a nation of inbred miscreants, would be good riddance.

For his next act Amadini whatever, will unleash on Iraq.

As a buddy of mine who worked in Iran during the age before the revolution says, “After having spent some time working in Persia I am firmly convinced that those people have a genetic predisposition for madness.”

“This should be an interesting thread to watch. Israel is not prone to saber rattling; I wonder what their play is here.”

Maybe trying to flush out an Iranian response to help with an intel assessment?

Israel is almost always ‘preparing for war’.

Netanyahu will not launch any preemptive strike. It will be a surprise if he doesn’t handcuff adequate defensive action.

Bibi believes that only economic progress will bring peace to the Middle East, and he puts that ahead of defense, territory, Jerusalem or anything else.

I agree with your statement, obama will not assist Israel. My question is, what will our General Officers do? It is my hope they would render aid anyway....somehow.

......They are not going to risk spewing radioactivity all around the Iranian countryside......

Why not? If it happens, it will be accepted. It will be God’s will. Allah will have willed that part of Iran has become off limits for the followers.

The attackers are but the instrument of Allah implementing his will

Pathetic.

Our leaders have sold us out to appease liberal, PC sons of bitches.

It’s an outrage and they will god willing one day pay for their crimes along with the islamo nazis they have enabled.

The Iranians are being allowed to do this because we have no leaders with the balls to declare the war we must declare if we are to survive.

I don’t think it’s too late at all. The goal is to take out the Iranian leadership. It is well know the most of the people of Iran would like to get rid of the current leadership and would rise up if enough of the leadership was taken out.

The nuclear energy station that is being fueled right now does not have to be hit and would actually be a benefit to the country without the leadership that is in power there.

I believe Israel knows what they are looking for and will strike at the right time.

“Don’t worry. 0bama will broker a seven year Mideast peace treaty.”

You’re on the right track but I think they will take out the leadership in Iran first. Remember that Iran is the last stronghold of the Shiite and the rest are Sunni as is Obama. Sunni hate Shiite and want to rule the whole world with Sharia Law.

Kuwait monitors pro-Iran terror cells
Kuwait is closely monitoring “sleeping terror cells” that would resort to violence if Iran came under a military strike, a newspaper quoted a security source as saying on Sunday.

“The security agencies have been monitoring those cells for a long time and are aware of their moves and sources of funding,” the unnamed Kuwaiti source told al-Qabas newspaper.

Jeremiah49:34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
49:35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
49:36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam * shall not come.
49:37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
49:38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
49:39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again (8686) the captivity * of Elam, saith the LORD.
Very interesting times we live in.Do a search on Elam and you will find it’s located where bushehr nuke plant is located.I don’t know if this prophecy has ever been fufilled.

Bush should have taken Iran out between the day after Election Day 2008 and Inaugural Day 2009.

What the hell was wrong with September 12, 2001?
