this is pure bluff. Inside the Pentagon is a technical group that is capable of intercepting classified and scrambled telephone conversations. Over the last seven months, this group has been intercepting conversations and other electronic communications, of the Israeli Embassy and other entities in the United States. Much, if not all of this presentation is based on notes from a friendly source.

Israel could not launch any kind of a land war against Iran. Their worthless IDF would be torn to bits before it got started. They are not dealing with unarmed women and children here, after all.

They do have atomic weaponry and have threatened to use it but if the enraged Iranians strike first, they won’t have any aircraft left, no airfields capable of launching a raid and certainly no pilots to man the wrecked planes.

Bush, while fanatically pro-Israel, has been curbed by the results of the midterms and the U.S. would, under no circumstances, send troops to help Israel and it's not so much that they won’t, but they can’t.

The Israelis are frightened that Bush’s loss of power means that their plans to have the U.S. draw their chestnuts out of the Middle East fire are wrecked.

This threat about an attack is, like most of the Israeli mouthing, pure bullshit. Bush would certainly like them to do this attack but the U.S. can’t, and won’t back it.

Some time ago, both Israel and the Pentagon released “leaked” papers showing the U.S. was going to attack Iran. This was solely to put pressure on Iran and it fell really flat. Many of us believed it because there were actual plans in place but the execution of them was impossible.

These threats from Tel Aviv are an attempt to regain face, lost when Hezbollah kicked the vaunted IDF in their asses and chased them back over the border.

Of course Israel revenged itself by immediately killing unarmed Palestinians in Gaza. Bush approved the slaughter in Lebanon and would certainly wet himself over an even bigger slaughter in Tehran who has had the nerve to flip him the bird with impunity.

None of our “allies” are going to support an attack on Teheran because they all buy Iranian oil.

All Bush has left is the pathetic ass kisser Blair and his days are certainly numbered. I predict Bush will end up talking to himself and eventually swallowing either a handful of pills or kissing a gun.

People like that cannot stand being thwarted.

Let up prey!

In conclusion?

An Israeli air attack against Iranian targets using their own aircraft and new U.S. tactical nukes designed to be fired from aircraft in rocket form, is not impossible. Israel is so frantic at this point that she might well attempt this and would also wish to present the U.S. with a fait accompli and force them into a support of Israeli activities. In this, Tel Aviv would be relying on the support of Jewish members of Congress, the very powerful Israeli lobby in America and strong support for Israel in both the Evangelical communities and the U.S. print and television media.

Would Israel launch such an attack? Given all of the circumstances, they might…unless Tehran struck first. This is certainly a strong possibility but to expect Israel to keep quiet about this subject, we can trust it to shout it from the housetops. It could well backfire in the end but they are so upset at the perceived loss of their power with the White House that reason is not part of their makeup at this point in time..”

Iran Vows To Hit Back If Israel Attacks

November 11th 2006

AFP

TEHRAN: Iran's armed forces on Saturday vowed to hit back against any military strike after a top Israeli official refused to rule out attacking the Islamic republic over its disputed nuclear programme.

"The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will firmly respond to any military and threatening move," Brigader General Ali Fazli, spokesman for Iran's latest round of 10-day war games, said.

"The Iranian armed forces, which realise the different threats, have the capacity and capability to confront them," he added.

Israeli Deputy Defence Minister Ephraim Sneh had told the Jerusalem Post on Friday he considered military action against Iran as a "last resort. But even the last resort is sometimes the only resort."

His comments were seen as the clearest statement yet by an Israeli official that military strikes against Iran over its refusal to halt sensitive nuclear activities were not excluded.

"The enemies of the Islamic republic are too weak and too abject to be a threat for a powerful Iran," added Fazli, who did not specify what the nature of Iran's response would be.

Iran has been showing off its military prowess in recent days in the 10-day "Great Prophet II" war games, which have seen its fire its Shahab-3 longer range missile for the first time in manoeuvres and test-fire new weaponry.

Meanwhile, Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, complained to Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Security Council over Israel's "threats" on Friday following the comments by Sneh.

"The letter, underlining threats from Sneh and other Israeli officials, regards these statements as illegal, ridiculous and a sign of the Zionist regime's criminal policies and terrorist intentions," the IRNA state agency said.

"The Security Council should act in the face of such statements and the Israeli regime's terrorist acts. As a first step it should at least promptly condemn the Israeli regime's threats against Tehran," it said, quoting from the complaint.
