Israel has eight days to hit Iran's nuke: US
2010-08-18
[Al Arabiya Latest] Israel has "eight days" to launch a military strike against Iran's Bushehr nuclear facility and stop Tehran from acquiring a functioning atomic plant, a former U.S. envoy to the U.N. has said.

Iran is to bring online its first nuclear power reactor, built with Russia's help, next week, when a shipment of nuclear fuel will be loaded into the plant's core.

At that point, former John Bolton warned Monday, it will be too late for Israel to launch a military strike against the facility because any attack would spread radiation and affect Iranian civilians.

#6  #3 I just have a really bad feeling that nobody's gonna do anything about it.

I have a bad feeling there is going to be a mega 911 in the West if nothing is done.

#5  I never believed for a minute the announcement of when the Iron Dome system was going to be operational. That would be the height of stupid to announce that.

#2  If the Israelis don't have a fully functional Iron Dome defense system until November, then I figure that's a pretty good reason for them to *not* provoke regional hostilities until then. Also give the US domestic political situation time to shake out one way or the other.

#1  ION ISRAEL NN > UPDATE: JOHN BOLTON SAYS THREE DAYS TO ATTACK IRAN.

and

* SAME > F-35's MIGHT NOT REACH ISRAEL IN TIME TO STOP IRAN [Iran Nukes].

and

* TOPIX > BOLTON: BUSHESHR STARTUP A "SIGNIFICANT VICTORY" FOR IRAN [BUSHESHR = PLUTONIUM for Iran's NucProgs including any Iran Nucweaps].

and

* RENSE/TOPIX > IRAN PLANS MORE MOUNTAIN NUCLEAR SITES.

Again, BOLTON + EAGLEBURGER ARTICS = IRAN MUST EITHER BE INVADED, OCCUPIED, OR MIL ASSISTED AS PER IRAQ + AFPAK; OR ELSE THE US-ALLIES/OWRLD MUST LEARN TO LIVE WID A NUKE-ARMED IRAN + ULTIMATELY NUKE-ARMED RADIC ISLAMIST, INTERNATIONAL MILITANT CELLS, GROUPS, + NETWORKS.

TICKING CLOCK = AIR, COMMANDO-ONLY LIMITED STRIKE OPTIONS ARE OBSOLETE.

IMO also read, COLD WAR US FEARS OF "JUSTIFIED", DENIABLE "CREEPING SOCIALISM/GOVTISM/
TOTALITARIANISM" + RELATED > become OVERT + A "WAVE-OR-STRONGER" come 2012 [2012-2020/2025].

2010-2020/2025 > RISING COMMIE GLOBALISM, versus RISING ISLAMO-GLOBALISM [Nukulaar].
