Update.....Report: Security cabinet authorizes plan for strike on Iran

quote....Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's security cabinet reportedly gave "initial authorization" last month to a plan for an air and ground attack on Iran if diplomatic efforts do not halt the Islamic republic's nuclear program, according to a report in London's Sunday Times.According to the Sunday Times, the Israeli plans have been discussed with the United States who reportedly said they would not block an Israeli attack on Iran if international diplomatic efforts fail to halt the nuclear projects.
end quote........

I guess we are going to help Israel when we are moving our Navy aircraft carriers in to the ME?

1. Oh yeah

Israel will attack Iran.

Iran will then attack Israel.

The US will step in to defend Israel.

And you will be up to your ass in alligators in short order.

Iraq will look like a walk in the park.

2. Hmmmm....

These Revelations are startling... Let's hope that sanity intercedes, and we very quickly collectively back away from this madness.

4. said this before

Israel bombs Iran. Iran and/or Syria retailiates by attacking Israel. General Yeeeh-Hawww says we have to defend Israel against terrorist regimes and we start bombing.

With recent developments in Lebanon and Syria -- I'm upping my timetable for a mid-late spring invasion. bush* needs more of a diversion than Michael Jackson in PJ's because his poll numbers regarding social insecurity have tanked -- fear and war have worked for him in the past so why should it be any different now?
