Israeli TV report shows air force gearing-up for Iran attack, says moment of truth is near
The Times of Israel ^ | April 15, 2012 | Greg Tepper

Posted on 04/15/2012 6:59:09 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

A major Israel TV station on Sunday night broadcast a detailed report on how Israel will go about attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities in the event that diplomacy and sanctions fail and Israel decides to carry out a military strike.

The report, screened on the main evening news of Channel 10, was remarkable both in terms of the access granted to the reporter, who said he had spent weeks with the pilots and other personnel he interviewed, and in the fact that his assessments on a strike were cleared by the military censor.

No order to strike is likely to be given before the P5+1 talks with Iran resume in May, the reporter, Alon Ben-David, said. “But the coming summer will not only be hot but tense.”

In the event that negotiations fail and the order is given for Israel to carry out an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, “dozens if not more planes” will take part in the mission: attack and escort jets, tankers for mid-air refueling, electronic warfare planes and rescue helicopters, the report said.

Ben-David said the Israel Air Force “does not have the capacity to destroy the entire Iranian program.” There will be no replication of the decisive strikes on Iraq’s Osirak reactor in 1981 or on Syria in 2007, he said. “The result won’t be definitive.” But, a pilot quoted in the report said, the IAF will have to ensure that it emerges with the necessary result, with “a short and professional” assault.

they could hit US oil refineries simultaeously one little satchel charge thrown over the fence to the product export terminal would also take out the cracking tower

it would be devastatingly crippling especially since the obama EPA will not let them be rebuilt

Alexander defeated the last of the Achaemenid Empire's forces in 328 BC (Persia fell). Alexander then started his campaign into India.

So we have been in the last days for the last 2328 years?

If you look, we(meaning the West)are the heirs of the Grecian Empire. Our form of government, laws, the architecture of our government buildings etc.

I personally am more aligned in my views with Elis Skofield’s prophecy book “The Hidden Beast II”, believing that the Dome of the Rock is the Abomination that bring desolation, and the muslim nations will be the origin of the Anti Christ, as if Islam itself is not totally Anti Christ (earn your way to paradise, no savior, Jesus did not die on the cross, no resurrection, and hatred of the Jews and G_d’s Word). I don't believe Skofield believe in an individual person called the Anti Christ. The Shiite beliefs about the Mahdi do line up with such a person.

We are broke and Iran could not ever attack this country with a nuke. Did you know why?

You have no clue whatsoever about Islam, do you. Ever hear of the 12th Imam?

How many Russian children do you see putting on vest bombs and blowing themselves up?

Out of all the people who own guns most never have to rely on them to save them from injury and maybe death.

Mine saved me from that threat.

A crazy man in an Escalade was racing up the highway behind me. I thought that he would pass me on the left but I had to go to the left or he would have rearended me. He went of into the ditch and fell back but when he got back on the highway he began to speed up again.

When I saw him coming again, I took out my Kimber. 45 and using my knee to steer I jacked a round into the chamber. I made sure that he saw me do this. When he realized I was armed he backed off and later turned off. My Kimber was already chambered but the simple act of jacking another round in scared him off

“Daniel 8:8. This he-goat was Alexander the Great. Who in 323 B.C. at about thirty-three years of age, and at the height of his power, died. His empire was divided to these four Generals, of which Cassander had Macedonia, Seleucus had Syria, Antigonus had Asia the less, and Ptolemeus had Egypt.”

You are correct absolutely. However some are inclined to see many prophecies repeat themselves, or have multiple fulfillments. Gabriel tells Daniel this prophecy was for the last days.

“many prophecies repeat themselves, or have multiple fulfillments.” God gives Daniel a foresight of the destruction of other kingdoms, which in their day were as powerful as that of Babylon. Daniel 8:1-14

"Russia had 20,000 nukes pointed at the USA and never fired one because they knew they would all die. Korea has Nukes and missiles and so what? "

The Russians and Koreans didn't believe that nuclear war could bring the 12th Imam and everlasting triumph, peace and stadiums full of willing gorgeous virgins. The Twelvers DO believe that. Look it up.

"Ben-David said the Israel Air Force “does not have the capacity to destroy the entire Iranian program.”

They have 100 nukes.

If they don't use nukes, they need massive bunker-busters. Which they do not have the capacity to deliver.....

.....except for the fact that they actually do, or could very soon, if they get to work on it right away. And I am not speaking of the far too-small Eitan.
