Daily Mail: Israel To Strike Iran By Christmas
Ynet News ^ | November 9, 2011

Posted on 11/09/2011 7:00:45 PM PST by Fennie

Israel will be launching a military strike as early as December in a bid to stop Iran's nuclear program, the British Daily Mail reported, based on unnamed government sources.

The sources said that Israel will strike Iran's nuclear sites "sooner rather than later" and rely on logistical American support.

There's a New Moon the day after Thanksgiving. Israel could hit 'um earlier.

Israel has lots of nukes...they wouldn't need to use and lose pilots. Small nukes may be the only way to insure success.

Or Israel could devastate Iran's defenses and soften-up the hardened sites using conventional ICBMs and cruise missiles, then send in the IAF with all the bunker-busters we sold them to complete the missions.

3 to 6 days tops. Maybe?

“No way Barry is going to allow the U.S. to help.”

That’s what we all may think, but in reality, we’ll get sucked into it as Iran will probably lob some missiles into Iraq.

I doubt they would strike cities, perhaps missile facilities, perhaps an inside job (I think I heard that that Stucnex (sp?) worm was installed from inside Iran, who knows what help they may be getting from inside. Also remember the raid on Entebbe.

Meanwhile, in other Middle East news, here are recent stories from Libya: The Niger army apparently struck some Gaddafi supporters trying to smuggle arms out of Libya.

Here is an interesting story about the new Libyan leader facing down any angry group of unpaid rebels with great diplomatic skill. Incidentally, he has spend quite some time in the US.

Israel’s natonal survival - as well as the lives and livelihoods of countless Israelis - depend entirely on removing Iran’s nuclear capability.

Iran has said point blank that they intend to strike Israel at the first opportunty, and there is absolutely no reason to doubt they mean it.

As for American support under the feckless, cowardly, Jew-hating Obama - forget it; he never misses an opportunity to kiss Arab *ss.

The sources said that Israel will strike Iran's nuclear sites "sooner rather than later" and rely on logistical American support.

AIPAC may have the leverage for the election, but I don't believe Obama would provide it when he is against it. In fact, there is almost no need of logistic support in the first place. Israel has adequate equipment to engage in a military strike against Iran, with tankers providing fuel on the way back home. Saudi Arabia is rumored for providing the air space. Meanwhile, I believe Iraq and Turkey would deny, and the only way is through Saudi Arabia. The question is type of munitions in hands of Israel, but I will not discuss further about this. However, the support from the cabinet and the parliament is uncertain. These rumors of attacks and war against Iran often circulates, but always end with nothing, and I am rather pessimistic this time too for the long history of the same rumors popping again and again.

I thought bringing ALL the troops home from Iraq had something to do with it—keeps them from being affected by the strike.

Also, Israeli officials have just declared that ElBaradei is an Iranian agent.

Odd. In a fight between Israel and Iran, Christmas is used as a time marker? Really? Christmas?

With reports that Iran will be moving its stockpile of 20% enriched uranium to the hardened nuke facility at Qoms within the next couple of months, this leak has a ring of truth. Once that uranium gets shipped to Qoms, it will make the chances of a successful conventional strike slim. The window for a conventional strike on Iran’s nuke facilities may be closing quickly IMO.

What’s wrong with keeping this a secret, if it’s true?

I still think Russia and China WANT a nuclear war in the Middle East—both stand to lose in the holocaust perhaps millions of their OWN pesky Muslims since their Islamic provinces border the region.

If the United States doesn’t offer Israel meaningful support of some kind, such as intelligence, we will be on the wrong side. God sees it all, and he’s taking names.

” If Israel has something planned we wont be hearing about it til AFTER it happens.”

I agree: how much advance warning was there of the attacks on the Osirak or Syrian reactors? Zip, nada.

I'm thinking NOT...To many logistics to handle in such a short period of time...

If the U.S. is not positioned in that gulf to shoot down Israeli planes, then there must be a coalition to, if nothing else, keep Russia and China out of it...

Britain, France and possibly Germany will help out...

They would need something as big or bigger than Desert Storm to turn this into a success...
