Israel prepares for war with Iran | |
2012-02-17 | |
President Shimon Peres, who has put his days as a peacemaker far behind him, is warning only about the dangers of a nuclear Iran and not at all about those of an Israeli attack. As for opposition from the B.O. regime, it has been awfully muted. The Republican presidential candidates (with the exception of Ron Paul) have  been gung-ho, which has much to do with the administration's wariness toward Israel in this election year. But then how strong an argument for restraint can the administration make to the Israelis, after repeating for years that a nuclear Iran is "unacceptable" and that "all options are on the table"? | |

#4 NOW is the time to pin these liberal pin-heads Meir Dagan is hardly a pin-head: liberal or otherwise; he just favors a cover solution (if you're a hammer etc...) |

#3 Even former Mossad chief Meir Dagan, who openly opposed an attack on Iran, has shut up, as have the lofty literary lights of the left wing peace movements. NOW is the time to pin these liberal pin-heads to the wall and demand where they stand. If they waffle, point out that they're waffling because they DON'T want to take a stand, but want to stand aside and carp when things go bad (which is inevitable given the way life goes). Applaud the ones who go on record NOW for courage, and ridicule the rest FOREVER. |

#2 Israel can conventionally strike Iran, but short of launching its JERICHO III NUCLEAR LRBMS is unlikely to win or survive a protractive, 1980's-style "War of the Cities" [Iran-Iraq War] widout massive + routinely-delivered US, Allied assistance. ION CHINA DAILY FORUM > [Russian Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Makarov] RUSSIA READY TO USE NUCLEAR ARMS [ + direct military force], IFF NECESSARY, to protect its interests + territorial integrity, as well as for any DETERRENCE OPTIONS agz same as approved by Moscow. versus * CHINA DAILY FORUM > BATTLEFIELD USA 2012: GERALD CALENTE PREDICTS. "Will of the People" agz "Will of the Govt/State". * SAME, TOPIX > US STATES ARE REBELLING AGZ OBAMA BUDGET, INDEFINITE DETENTION OF CITIZENS. * SAME > [Ron Paul] 2012 US ELECTION: AMERICA'S LAST CHANCE BEFORE IT BREAKS UP | 2012 IS CONSTITUTION'S LAST CHANCE. * FYI TOPIX > NEW BILL TO ALLOW 30,000 DRONES TO FILL AMERICA'S SKIES BY 2020. * SAME > PILOTS [Airline Pilots Assoc., ACLU, other Activist] WORRY ABOUT SCHEME/PLAN ALLOWING DOMESTIC DRONES IN [already congested] US SKIES. * DEFENCE .PK/FORUMS > NEW POLICE DONRES NEAR HOUSTON [Texas] COULD CARRY WEAPONS. * INTELHUB > ADVANCED DRAGON-FLY [sized?] DRONES + BLACK HELOS TO SPY ON ILINOIS CITIZENS. SLACKERS! Had already seen a few time back [prototypes?] buzzing around here in Hagatna/Agana. NOT JUST "DRAGONFLYS" EITHER. Nice-color wings, but the motor noise quality needs rework, i.e. too much weirdo hippie noise for that kind of mini flying buy. D *** NG IT, DARPA-JPL, WHADDAYA TRYING TO DO - CONVERT ME TO RAP MUSIC! Hopefully for Israel's sake, the US' attention won't get diverted at the wrong time. |
