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."

Thank you for the apology, I am sorry for misunderstanding you...I guess I just get crabby when discussing Nukes in Iran (this really sucks). The one thing I know having been in uniform and facing filthy, smelly terrorists one on one is I will not use the word never to discredit any means necessary to protect my country. Honestly, I bet the troops in Israel feel the same way when TSHTF.

I read that Bush gave the thumbs-down to this operation near the end of his second term.

Thanks for the link. I always wondered if Israel had some kind of “last resort” or “scorched earth” policy where it could strike one final blow if was apparent they were going to be wiped out.

For an overhead airburst single malt scotch is definitely better.

Indeed, I have some weapons-grade Laphroig around here somewhere.

take higher doses of iodine/iodide (Iodoral) and you’ll absorb that and block the bad iodine. That’s why hiroshima didn’t have as ill effects as it could have because the Japanese consume high doses of iodine.

Oh geez, I feel that typically earthy peatsmoke from the Scottish islands crawling up my nose. Let the airbursts commence.

I hope you’re not the kind of guy that adds water to it?

Since Satan fell from earth after losing a fight with God, where do you think he landed? :)

Water? No, never have felt that would be proper. Not even on the cask-strength bottlings.

Some of the Islay stuff does pack quite in iodine punch along with the peat; tastes like it should have an old "Civil Defense" logo on the bottle. It definitely has a place in the corner of my First-Aid kit. :-)

Sorry, didn’t mean it in a bad way.....most people don’t realize Israel will not do Masada again. Some pilots I met in Israel have patches that say “Never Again”. They are not kidding.....


Never Again is right . No they won’t do Masada again :)

Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

It’s going to take them seven years to clean up the weapons they destroy

Eze 39:9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Eze 39:10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.

Never again is right !

Seems the puppet masters are not ready to end the Iranian leaders reign just yet.

That too will change.

I'm afraid I will have to confiscate that since it clearly violates at least a dozen arms treaties. And do not worry, I have an excellent facility for the destruction of said weapons-grade liquids (my liver).

"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."

I'd love to see this happen, but I don't think Israel will now act against Iran's nuclear capability. Nor do I think Zero's phony attempt to bring about direct talks will succeed. Israel should hang the latter failure directly on Abbas' and Obama's shoulders, which is precisely where it belongs, but give Zero an out, by pointing out that the koranimals were not given any ultimatums, deadlines, or even requirements (demands) such as he tried to place on Israel. That puts the spotlight on Zero's incompetence and hostility to Israel, but does it in such a way that, in response, any more tantrums out of his dumb ass make him look like the Moslem moron that he is.
