Why is that? Because, according to sage Gardner, "Tehran is planning to bring its first Bushehr reactor online on Saturday..."
"If the Israelis fail to act, Mr (John)Bolton said, 'Iran will achieve something that no other opponent of Israel, no other enemy of the United States in the Middle East really has...'"
I have great respect and liking for John Bolton, former US ambassador to the UN. And I know his reasons for making this statement are not the cynical ones used by government officials and journalists.
Mr Gardner, the journalist, is making this statement because it suits him and many others, to have Israel do their dirty work for them!
America and Britain will not be blamed and admonished by their beloved islamic buddies, as they were following the intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq.
So as Israel is the main state under threat anyway, she should attack Iran, do the West's bidding because it will save Israel too! How perfect is that?
While the US, Britain and their EU allies bumble and fumble around in Iraq and Afghanistan,causing tens of thousands of deaths( why the hell did the US under Bush, open the borders to Iran, 3 days after their invasion of Iraq?) Israel makes surgical attacks on her terrorist neighbours.
Whatever Israel does, she will be blamed and censured: if she attacks Iran, Obama/osama will probably announce she did it the wrong way, killing too many people(or whatever!) The Cleggaron will say the Israelis have turned Iran into a concentration camp. All the mahounds and their useful idiots will use it as an excuse to attack and delegitimise Israel even more.
So although I wholeheartedly believe an attack on Iran is necessary, I am totally sickened by the suggestions that Israel should act alone!
I wonder if they are waiting for the jihadi in the White House to lose his majority, come November?
Israeli establishment is too scared to act on its own, and global politics - as you described - dictate that the western nations will continue burying their heads in the sand until it's too late (Ala Chamebrlain & Hitler).
ReplyDeleteI have two contributions to make to this topic, which you might find interesting:
1) Intelligence reports from about a year ago showed that the US actually was interested in making some sort of deal with Iran to better pacify Iraq, and possibly divide it among the neighboring nations. It seems these talks did not succeed, but once the US clears out of Iraq, who do you suppose will move in to fill the vacuum? Probably not Santa and a bunch of unicorns.
2) To countries that foolishly look at geography as if the means of transportation did not advance since 1827, it would appear as if a nuclear Iran cannot reach them.
That, of course, is a mistake, but even if the ayatollahs will not actually use these weapons, they are still capable of hinting at their use as a threat.
If Muslims are good at coercing Western politicians to do their bidding with the power of oil alone, imagine how daring they may become, emboldened by the destructive energy of the atom.
When I reread these lines, they sounded like something out of a thriller. Sometimes reality can be truly astounding.
I can totally believe no. 1).Ahmadi considers Iraq part of Iranian territory, as it was under Cyrus the Great. He, like the others will not accept a "settlement" of land: they want it ALL!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Iranians most probably WILL use their nuclear power when they achieve it. They may not launch a large bomb but a number of smaller ones, as well as other nuclear-tipped weaponry. The Iranian government is not known for restraint in any sphere of its activities.
True indeed. In fact, the Iranian expansionist aspirations in the area scare Saudi Arabia and Egypt, both of them enjoy American support, and I can imagine they apply pressure on some level on Obama & Co.
ReplyDeleteSince no one will stop the Iranians before they have the nuke (like I predicted all along, by the way), I guess we'll have to see how the next phase of this story plays out.
Funny how the Russians assist them, without any forethought that one day a 'rogue' warhead will find its way back to Moscow. Oh, those Russians.
