Well, let's say they take some of these facilities out for argument sake. The whole world will publicly condemn them and privately thank God someone had the cojones to do it. It's a crying shame that so much of the world is enabling Iran to become a nuclear threat. Russia supplies the hardware, and France, Germany, and Britain provide the soft power that is actually a way of running diplomatic interference to protect a clique of unwanted and despised theocratic thugs. In the meantime, Iran's discredited theocrats move forward and the NYT leaks what may be a Top Secret plan to the whole world. Is this a new low for the NYT? Nope. They've still got Walter Duranty and his Pulitzer Prize for his reports on the Ukraine.
I'd read the article earlier and thought it was from the NYT and not the TIMES OF LONDON.
It would be heart warming to see this on several thousand billboards throughout the country.
Hardly.
Best comment I heard on this subject in a previous thread was, "if Israel is planning anything you can bet the Times UK wouldn't know anything about it".
Sady most folks don't have a clue who Duranty was.
The best way to handle Iran is to let the Iranian youth revolt as they watch the Middle East evolve into freedom all around them. The Mullahs cannot deny them forever, they Iranian youth are educated and love western culture. They are religious but not extremists. With all that has happened of late, I wouldn't be surprised if it was imminent.
Nor do they know about the man-made (i.e., Stalin made) famine in the Ukraine that killed maybe ten million people. Duranty, as I'm sure you know, praised the success of collective farming being implemented there while a famine worse than was experienced in Ireland raged. The NYT spread this filth and never has come clean on it. Instead, today the NYT spends its time trying to figure out how to sabotage the spread of freedom.
I had seen your post # 4 prior to posting and decided to post that anyway.
Intellectual dishonesty used against intellectual dishonesty?
Hmmmm ... I wonder what the sentence will be? Hardly a Pulitzer Prize. ;)
Duranty was the ultimate "useful idiot".
True, and not to make light of it, not many are as old as we. Err ... uh ... I mean I. ;)

Scroll down to Duranty's award in 1932. Note the Times "statement" link on his award.
The LA Times quoted an EU official as saying, ""There is a suspension of enrichment [by Iran] and there is the IAEA in Iran to verify the suspension, so who is in a hurry? The Iranians — to get their carrots and to get rid of the IAEA," the official said. "But we should take the time which is needed to come into a comprehensive agreement.""
I sincerely hope this "official" isn't representative of the rest. Perhaps he was joking or trying a little psychology? Or maybe he had one too many glasses of wine?
He can't be THAT gullible and ignorant.
I particularly enjoyed the ...
... "The Times does not have the award in its possession."
Rescuing your nationals from terrorists with state support is "military adventurism"? Here I always thought the prime function of a nation's military was protection of it's civilian population. At least the militaries of free nations. In the others, the prime mission is protection of the rulers.
??? I guess these guys have a different map than the one I looked at on the CIA website. Only a flight to far northern Iran might require flying over Turkey. However the site in question, at Natanz, is in southern Iran, and the Iranian reactor is along the Persian Gulf Coast. Both locations would require fling over Iraq or Saudi Arabia.
Of course the Israelis could just launch some missiles from submarines in or near the Gulf.
Attack plans set in stone are not easily uncovered, especially by the press. (which more often than not have the details wrong). I think this is wishful thinking by some.
The ideals of Democracy & Liberty are moving through the Middle East at a "presumed" record pace, BUT, Not at the speed of a F-16 ............
Either way, NO Doubt- Change is Coming !!!!!!
