"ISRAEL’S armed forces have been ordered by Ariel Sharon, the prime minister, to be ready by the end of March for possible strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran, military sources have revealed."

Since Iran threatened to destroy Israel pre-emptively, Israel BETTER strike Iran first.Among nations words have consequences.

Daniel 10:20...interesting

"but I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia......there is no one who stands firmly against these forces except Michael your prince"

Then again, Ephesians 6:14

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, against the rulers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"

I believe it is no coincidence that the rise of nuclear Iran threatening Israel's very existence is occuring at the very moment Christian's and their beliefs are being attacked in this country from every side.....spiritual warfare

wake up america

Iran, though not yet a nuclear weapon state, has produced some analysis weighing the use of nuclear
weapons to destroy cities, as “against Japan in World War II,” compared to “information warfare” that
includes “electromagnetic pulse...for the destruction of unprotected circuits.” An Iranian analyst
describes “terrorist information warfare” as involving not just computer viruses but attacks using
“electromagnetic pulse (EMP).” (Tehran, Siyasat-e Defa-I, 1 March 2001)
An Iranian political-military journal, in an article entitled “Electronics To Determine Fate Of Future
Wars,” suggests that the key to defeating the United States is EMP attack: “Advanced information
technology equipment exists which has a very high degree of efficiency in warfare. Among these we can
refer to communication and information gathering satellites, pilotless planes, and the digital
system....Once you confuse the enemy communication network you can also disrupt the work of the
enemy command and decision-making center. Even worse, today when you disable a country’s military
high command through disruption of communications you will, in effect, disrupt all the affairs of that
country....If the world’s industrial countries fail to devise effective ways to defend themselves against
dangerous electronic assaults, then they will disintegrate within a few years....American soldiers would
not be able to find food to eat nor would they be able to fire a single shot.” (Tehran, Nashriyeh-e
Siasi Nezami, December 1998 -January 1999)
Iranian flight-tests of their Shahab-3 medium-range missile, that can reach Israel and U.S. forces in the
Persian Gulf, have in recent years involved several explosions at high altitude, reportedly triggered by a
self-destruct mechanism on the missile. The Western press has described these flight-tests as failures,
because the missiles did not complete their ballistic trajectories. Iran has officially described all of these
same tests as successful. The flight-tests would be successful, if Iran were practicing the execution of an
EMP attack.
Iran, as noted earlier, has also successfully tested firing a missile from a vessel in the Caspian Sea. A
nuclear missile concealed in the hold of a freighter would give Iran, or terrorists, the capability to
perform an EMP attack against the United States homeland, without developing an ICBM, and with
some prospect of remaining anonymous. Iran’s Shahab-3 medium-range missile, mentioned earlier, is a
mobile missile, and small enough to be transported in the hold of a freighter.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the new government in Iraq decided to declare war against Iran for the multiple provocations by that renegade state?

Gee, I wonder what they might target in such a scenario.

The crisis is set to come to a head in early March, when Mohamed El-Baradei, the head of the IAEA, will present his next report on Iran. El-Baradei, who received the Nobel peace prize yesterday, warned that the world was “losing patience” with Iran.
=====================================================================

Blah blah blah. And who is going to do anything about it, Mohamed? The U.N.? Oh, yeah, Iran is really afraid of the U.N.

The key thing to look for expecting possible nuclear conflict is what our forces in Afghanistan do. If our guys start making preparations for possible nuclear fallout, or moving into areas where they may not be affected; something big will be coming.

ATTENTION CINDY SHEEHAN!

You MUST stop whatever you are doing and lead your cadre of friends and fellow running dogs and go IMMEDIATELY to Iran to form a "Protect the Nukes" Human Shield Brigade!

YOU, AND ONLY YOU have the charisma and leadership to put a stop to this attack by the Israelis! Really, Cindy, if you go and plunk your lawchair down next to an Iranian nuke factory, and Joan Baez comes and signs some songs, and Mikey Moore comes and films the whole thing, why THEN AND ONLY THEN will the Israelis send out the signal to turn their bombers around! You will have created World Peace in your time, and in the aftermath, you will defeat Hillary in the primaries and go on to be First Commisar of the Peoples' Republic of Vermont or something.

At least that COULD happen.

OR, something else entertaining might happen. In which case you'd probably get the Free Republic's Rachel Corrie Award. Which is a great honor in it's own right.

From: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/israel/f-15i.htm

The 25 F-15Is operational since 1999 [and the 100 F-16Is] were procured first and foremost to deal with the Iranian threat. In August 2003 the Israeli Air Force demonstrated the strategic capability to strike far-off targets such as Iran [which is 1,300 kilometers away], by flying three F-15 jets to Poland 1,600 nautical miles away. After they celebrated that country's air force's 85th birthday, on their return trip, the IAF warplanes staged a fly-past over the Auschwitz death camp.

Has anyone thought of the fact that Iran is not likely to absorb these attacks and do nothing. They will retaileate with conventional weapons and an all-out war will develop in the ME. Armageddon Anyone?
