Mofaz hints at Netanyahu plan to attack Iran

Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Quits Due To Upcoming Attack On Iran

www.timesofisrael.com

Israel’s opposition leader Shaul Mofaz, who until last week served as deputy prime minister to Benjamin Netanyahu, gave a broad hint on Monday that the prime minister intends to launch a military strike against Iran.

Mofaz, who led his Kadima party out of the coalition last week, declared that Kadima wanted no part in “operational adventures” planned by Netanyahu, which he said would endanger Israelis.

“Kadima will not set out on operational adventures that will endanger the future of our young women and young men and the future of the citizens of Israel in the State of Israel,�

More and more evidence that they will, but chances are not until after the US elections. If Obama wins, he may have more leiency because he won't be up for re-election again or if Romney wins, he will most certainly hand over his military for use.

Side-Questions, do you think the Iraqi Army would help Israel/US if the Greenzone Embassy and other sites in the country get attacked? I mean, US did liberate/equip/train them.

i think its to do with them getting involved in Syria.
today the media hinted that chemical stockpiles might make isreal join the "war"

i though that was odd

peace

Obama, Romney, 'John Smith'

it fails to matter 'Who' is president, when Israel attacks Iran, the US shall engage likewise, and or Vice versa

Is Peoples Eyesight Failing? LOL

Israeli PM is another leader who has gone fruitcake, of that there is no doubt.

Obama, Bush, Blair, Cameron, ..... list goes on, all power hungry nutcases IMHO.

I think we knew he planning the attack on Iran, but to have his staff quit on him should be a wake up call. Although he prolly doesn't give a crap about his staff anyhow so. TPTB will do whatever needs to be done regardless.

Interesting none the less. S/F

I think they would happily turn their guns on those occupying their nation. No one wants to live under someone else when the alternative is free.

Isreak, will not/cannot attack Iran.
I D care how many op[inions differ.....the facts speak for themselves.
Isreal has enough aircraft for a strike....only
They dont have the heavy haulers that it would require for sustained operations against these hardened targets.
They lack refueling capacity even with new tanker donaated by uncle sam....
They may have the light bunker busters but not the latest ones it would take to do the job.....even if they threw a nuke down the hole, it may not do the trick fully
It will take some concentrated B 52 work to haul enough trash to make a big enough hole....
Isreal is a wet firecracker that far from its airfields....
Not to mention battle losses which may be higher then they would like to see.....
We are talking F16, F18 airplanes whose bomb load better be a nuke if they want to do any amount of damage so far from home....

Everything you said is null when the US is involved. They have the logistics in the area to have non stop air attacks, with cruise missiles and MIRV's from the subs behind them, for days on end (which is all it would take).

US would take base losses in the area, from Iranian missiles no doubt.

Iraq + Iran fought for a full decade and ended in a stalemate with heavy loses; US took down the Iraqi army and infrastructure in 2 weeks.

Iran and Iraq fought for 8 years, true, but Iran was going trough a revolution, their army wasn't ready and they had lost many of their officers in the revolution. Plus Iraq was helped by many of its neighbors. Saddam saw a country in turmoil and thought it was going to be easy, Iran had a different opinion. Even with that situation, Iran fought back. To compare the 2nd Gulf War with the Iraqi-Iranian War is not fair in my opinion.

I think there are major signs the US, Israel, but also key allies like the UK, France and Turkey are prepping for the Big One.

First of all, you now have four US carriers in the region, plus the French carrier Charles De Gaulle, that's five carriers - as many as for the first gulf war.

usnews.msnbc.msn.com...

www.navy.mil...

Remember, each carrier is the flagship of a whole strike group comprising missile cruisers, minesweepers and submarine, among others. That is a BIG militarily buildup.

In reponse, Russia, China and Iran have each dispatched their largest number of vessels in the region to date and are conducting joint manoeuvers until the end of september:

rpdefense.over-blog.com...

www.defence.pk...

I don't think the Russian, Chinese and Iranians would go to that length to deter an attack if they didn't have reliable intelligence about an impending strike.

When you consider that context, it becomes easier to udnerstand why the UK has deployed more than 21500 soldiers in and around London for the Olympics, and formed a committee in case of an war between Israel and Iran:

www.timesofisrael.com...

Everyone seems to be bracing for the reprisals, shock and awe that will inevitably ensue.

well if Iran knows it history especially the 6 day war they would know Israel does have the balls to do a pre-emptive strike, not entirely sure if Israeli did strike first if it would be as effective as it was against Egypt air force. I'm sure Iran has most of it's aircraft and nuclear facilities well protected, so i wouldn't be suprised if Iran attacks first and says they did because it feared that Israel was going to attack first which everyone knows is quite likely..

this might be harsh but Israel should just leave Iran alone no more sanctions nothing if Iran is being truthful in saying it's nuclear program isn't to build bombs great, but if it is let them attack you; yeah it might kill upwards to a few thousands to hundred thousand, but with that act Iran is sealing it's fate the international community would stand idle to such an attack even Russian and China couldn't ignore such an action. the way i see it you are damned if you do or if don't, with doing nothing at least you won't be labeled the bad guy for picking on poor ole Iran.

but if I was Israel i would do a false flag attack against it's own country with a low grade dirty bomb.....just an option and this is a conspiracy site it's a possibility.

And they will not. with this situation in the middle east how can they do this? moreover USA strategy was and is not to attack a country that is ready to defend itself. they prefer not to involve in such wars. fighting in the land of others is really hard and dangerous and expensive. Iran is far bigger that can be trashed by some air strikes. what if it want to counteract Israel, then where do they go, to Palestine ! Lebanon ! or Egypt ! or even Jordan !

This is all talk as the U.S. has FORBIDDEN Israel from bombing Iranian Nuclear Sites. To do so would make most of the Middle East poisoned with Radioactive Dust as well as it possibly traveling to Turkey and other States. The current U.S. Plan is to wait for the Iranian Government to IMPLODE upon itself as IRAN has a population of over 70% under the age of 30 years old and 94% Pro-Democracy thinking population.

There is only one way to properly handle all the Nuclear Sites in IRAN and that is to dismantle them. Bombing them will only cause more problems than it solves. Israel would certainly be effected by this Radioactive Dust.
All TALK. Split Infinity

edit on 23-7-2012 by CALGARIAN because: (no reason given)

Why should the US get involved? Benny has said Israel is wearing big boy pants now and needs no help from the US. It's time for Israel to live up to their words for once.

The first missile fired will be the beggining of the end of the Un-just oncupation of Israel by the jews that slaughtered the Palestinians and took there land in the name of a violent vengfull god that treats human life like dogs simply because of there religion.

They will all burn on earth and in hell. # you all.

Let the atheletes have their Olympic Games in peace for f#ks sake.

Then the brave, hero, warmonger leaders can compete in their own "Hunger Games", I'm betting Putin will come out on top.

Bro, you're in serious need of a hug. Maybe some grammar lessons.

'Us' vs 'Them' mentalities are the root of them problem... the cancer of an otherwise golden age. Travel a little, meet some people from different backgrounds, and you may be amazed how much we all have in common.

War is old men fighting and young men dying. Wake up

I am going to predict that Israel will strike Iran during the opening day of the olympics. The powers behind the scenes know this and that is one reason security is gonna be beefed up at the games.

(All speculation from the depths if my imagination)

Worse case scenario:

Israel / backed by the U.S., Britain, and France strikes Iran's AAA sites, radar, and forward airfields, missile batteries as a diversion. Simultaneously cyber warfare viruses (such as Stuxnet, and Flame) / special forces / moles have already infiltrated the nuclear reactor sites and shut them down and are extracted out.

The bombers finish off the job by bombing the facilities not with the intent to destroy, but to create massive amounts of rubble to bury the sites in order to make them inaccesible for years to come.

Iran counter attacks by launching missiles at Nato/UN bases within the range of their missiles and oilfields in Saudi Arabia. Most of them are deflected by some secret technology, or destroyed by patriots and the anti missile defense shied, but a few slip through to their targets inflicting massive damage and casualties.

Iran attempts to setup a blockade in the straight of Hormuz, but the Allied forces expected that and their fast attack subs make short work of the Iranian naval assets that attempt to establish the blockade.

Iran launches silkworm and other anti shipping missiles at Allied naval assets, but most are out of range, yet they manage to hit and cripple a few support ships inflicting casualties and damage, and sink one ship.

Sleeper cells embedded within the countries that have attacked Iran, are activated after learning of the attack and unleash massive attacks on soft civilian targets and manage to pull off a few on military bases within the Allied countries the rest are thwarted.

Open war is declared by both sides. Hezbollah launches massive rocket and missile attacks into Israel. Syria launches chemical weapons into Israel. Egypt surprises all and launches air raids into Israel.

Saudia Arabia and Turkey responds to attacks within their soil and launches attacks into Iran.

Turkey, Iraq, Kuwait, and Pakistan are flooded with refugees trying to escape the conflict. Turkey and Iraq eventually closes their borders to Iran after the attacks

Iran's leadership is hunted down and considered terrorists for ordering terrorist attacks on civilians in the Allied countries. More countries within the UN respond and send troops, supplies, and first aid into the war zone.

Israel feeling backed into a corner by the massive counter attack, responds by launching tactical neutron bombs into Egypt eradicating their airfields and into Syria's C&C headquarters attempting to minimizing civilian casualties but caused Russian and Chinese military causalities.

The use of neutron bombs causes an uproar amongst all nations especially Arab nations since they feel Israel and the Allies started the conflict by attacking Iran. Israel's stance is that they did not attack Egypt and they surprise attacked us and Syria attacked with chemical weapons, so they argue that the response is justified.

Russia and China no longer stand by watching and feel compelled to join since Israel is using neutron weapons within such close proximity of their forces stationed in Syria in a peace keeping mission.

WW3...

Give or take a detail or two.
