Israeli official implies strike on Iran nukes program is near


www.msnbc.msn.com
Tensions between Israel and Iran are on the rise after a group of top Israeli leaders engaged in a round of saber-rattling on Thursday and Iran’s Supreme Leader answered on Friday with a pledge to "remove" Israel.

Speaking at the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center's annual conference, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak compared the current standoff with Iran to the "fateful" period before the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, when Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt.

At the same conference, Israel’s military intelligence chief, Aviv Kochavi said that Iran had enough nuclear m

The problem though, according to Panetta & Ehud Barak is that they have no nuclear weapons.

Nice doublespeak they have going on.

If i realized that derivatives=nuclear war (maybe) I would've joined the barter system years ago.

Their doublespeak is blatant. It's as if they can't even keep track of their own lies...

The smoke and mirror show is in full effect, too bad for them they're not very good "magicians".

I hereby nominate you for the best avatar of the year award

Sorry for the off topic post, but I couldn't help it.

Mahmoud is just a figurehead though, but when it comes to figureheads, he's one of the clever ones. He could slay any world leader in a debate based on fact and logic, which is why no one will go toe to toe with him. He embarrassed Larry King and all other leaders have refused to acknowledge his challenges to a debate.

The fact that world leaders walk out on him when he speaks at the UN should prove that perhaps people should listen to some of the things he says.

I know he is primarily a figurehead but I do believe that he has some amount of power and sway.
He has stated that HE is actually very moderate compared to others within the Iranian government.

I hope that cooler heads prevail, but I think this war has been planned for awhile and probably inevitable at this point.

You're right about him having some power and sway compared to most figureheads. It seems that Mahmoud has a following within his government that's strong enough to allow him to make questionable comments. There have been numerous stories about him and the Supreme leader publicly bickering, I'm not sure if all this is an act or not though.

I can guarantee that Mahmoud calls more shots in Iran than Obama does in the U.S.

Chances are Obama envies Mahmoud's powers. All Obama can do is read a teleprompter.

That's an interesting possibility, anything's possible, especially with all the BS that's floating around. I could even see Israel going as far as planting some nukes so they are "found" and action is taken against Iran.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the whole issue that that Israel/the US don't want Iran to have the capability to obtain nuclear weapons; not that Iran has them right now.

Sadly, I believe you are right.

Who'da thunk it?

I heard that Obama and Ahmadinejad studied under the same Imams' .... maybe we can have an Islamic Theocratic Republic here soon as well.

It might make for some interesting campaign slogans.... "72 virgins for everyone!"
