Annialate the Republic of Iran
“A cable sent from Israel described the then Israeli Military Intelligence Chief, Major General Amos Yadlin as an aggressive General. He was quoted in the cable as a dire seeker of “Annihilation” of Islamic Republic of Iran. In a meeting with an American diplomat, General Yadlin dubbed Iranian, Syrian and Hezbollah’s weapons as “tools of terrorism” and not war weapons. He also showed immense eagerness to attack Syrian nuclear facilities. General Yadlin also told American diplomat that timeframe of Iran nuclear weapons preparation and timeframe to attack Iran were to be totally different issues. He also differed with Americans over the ability of Iran to prepare nuclear weapons and instead said that Iran has sufficient enriched uranium to manufacture a single nuclear device and may soon have enough for making another bomb. Iran is busy setting up two new nuclear installations, Yadlin told the US diplomat adding that M-I has indications that work has began on the installations, but did not comment on the sources. Yadlin, who was later-on replaced by Brigadier General Aviv Kochav, also spoke of Iran as the greatest threat facing Israel, not only in the nuclear respect. ‘Iran is sending its long arms to aid anyone who is working against Israel,’ Yadlin said. “Such assessments are undoubtedly weighing on Prime Minister Netanyahu’s mind as he considers the possible need for an Israeli preemptive strike on Iran”, the cable added.
Israel’s hit squads
“Another cable from Israel stated that Mossad Chief, Meir Dagan very proudly told Americans that his special team had eliminated Hamas’s top military strategist Izzadin Sheikh Khalil through a terror plot. The cable informed Washington that in fact Dagan had established a number of “HIT TEAMS” through which he was getting engaged in non- intelligence operations and also used these hit men for certain personal vendettas as well. Another cable revealed that Dagan had planned to eliminate a number of Muslim leaders in terror operations through these hit teams and had diversified a fund of nearly $350 millions for the purpose, from the funds, sanctioned to him for traditional intelligence gathering and analysis. Yet another cable suggests that Meir Dagan, in a meeting with US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, William Burns, proposed Americans a five point agenda to fix Iran. The focus of the agenda was to change the regime at Tehran and to launch an ethnic movement through out Iran to destabilize the country before launching the final attack.”
Destroy the government and its curre3nt leaders and the nuke sites. The Iranian people may come to their senses, because many do not like the government either. Perhaps they will get really smart and seek relations with Israel. or even smarter and dump Islam.
Both Hizbullah and Hamas have better rockets than in 2006, and Israel is actually LESS prepared than it was then, to protect its civilian population — whether Syria joins the fray or not. The US will never “permit” Israel to attack Iran, because our assets in Iraq and Afghanistan will be threatened, and oil shipping from the Persian Gulf will be severely disrupted. At the very least, Washington will demand advance notice from Israel so the insider traders have a chance to adjust their oil futures contracts. Haliburton will also need advance notice, to position itself for contracts.
Israel simply needs to conspire with the Saudis about exactly when and where to strike. Neither party needs to NEUTRALIZE Iran: No matter how or where Israel strikes, the damage should be considerable enough for Iran to retaliate against the Americans. Washington will not like this; but with enough advance warning, at least they can get their most vulnerable assets to safe waters.
That’s all it would take, to get the ball rolling. The rest is in the butterflies. If Obama knows what’s good for him, he will try to be as helpful as possible to ensure that the Iranians don’t do too much damage to our forces in their initial retaliation. Israel and the Arabs need to take the initiative, though. Even Sarkozy realizes that nobody but the Arabs can convince Washington of anything. If Israel doesn’t do its part, they have no one but themselves to blame. The threat will not go away; it will only get bigger.
Yamit and rongrand… You know I support all this (for what that’s worth).
Speaking of the “Butterfly Effect” – for some reason I have the feeling (sorry, no proof; this isn’t a scientific experiment) that something “small” – something other than the obvious – will trigger all hell to break out in the ME. The end result will be true peace.
Somewhat off-topic (but not really), there’s a chap in the province of British Columbia, here in Canada – name is Rosen – who has commandeered the BC Federation of Teachers magazine (not that it must have taken much commandeering) to publish the most outrageous lies about Israel under the banner of “criticism of Israel isn’t anti-semitism”. These folks – Rosen and the people running the Federation – are teaching out kids!!! But this is not unusual…
As I read the piece on this, it struck me – as I’m sure it constantly strikes everyone here when reading such things – that the main motivation for such lying and hypocrisy, is very simple: cowardice. Rosen et al are simply cowards. They vilify Israel, and by extension, the Jews, because they know they can get away with it unharmed. After all none of us Jews would waste our time cutting their miserable throats for what they say. Very sneaky people. Bet the Federation of BC Teachers and Rosen have never ever criticized any nation on the extensive list of Muslim human rights abusers. I rest my case.
There – I feel better already.
Yamit (Uncle Nahum), I agree with both you and Yadlin.
The US administration had the opportunity a number of times to dismantle the Iranian government.
Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney suggested bombing Iran and taking out their nuclear facilities, etc.. This fell on deaf ears.
After the election the community organizing pamphlet distributing, pretending to be a Christian, anti-Semite incompetent president BHO had the opportunity to lend a hand in the Iranian revolt but his embrace for Islam and being a wimp elected to do nothing.
The US needs to end aid to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Hamas and Hezbollah all involved in terrorist aggression against our only true friend and ally in the ME and the anti-Semite tool they use is the Palestinians. These so called Arab friends of ours have the worlds worst human rights violations.
Unlce, the Israeli government should send a message to Egypt that any confrontation will be met with a devastation unlike they ever seen.
Uncle, a lot of new faces around here. I trust they all support Israel.
Yadlin is saying what I have for the last 3-4 years.
America has the ability to neutralize Iran by conventional warfare, Israel does not. Under Bush and Obama America has accepted the inevitability of Iran becoming the regional nuclear power. American oil and corporate interests want in to Iran and that is behind American policy. By taking out Tehran, Israel can effect a regime change as the people will revolt against the regime who is impotent to protect them. It might even crack the theological hold of Islam on the people and not just in Iran. Give Israel a singular opportunity to remove the threats from the north and the south, destroy the PLO and allow an opportunity for annexation of the west bank.
The risks of course are in the Bradbury Butterfly effect ( Law of unintended consequences). That can work in both directions but in the end we won’t have much of a choice.
I still hold that the country most dangerous to Israel existentially is Egypt. They have the strongest military in the ME and have gone to war against Israel 5 times since Israel was created.
