Why doesn't Sharon tell everyone the time and day too..sheese... Psst, Sharon your not to tell the enemy your plans, ok?

The statements are intended as a final effort to make Iran turn back from its present inclinations and to prepare world public opinion for an attack if that is necessary. Contrary to the fluff in the article, the IDF is ready at any given moment to make an attack, in the past, at present, in the future. And the Arabs know this very well.

El-Baradei, who received the Nobel peace prize yesterday, warned that the world was “losing patience” with Iran.

A peace prize wielding El-Baradei is no threat to Iran. At least Israel has the onions to let Iran know that they are not placing all their eggs in the UN basket.

"Exactly so."

Shaking the tree to see what kind of nuts fall out.

There should be -- probably already IS -- a law that would shut down immediately news organizations that threaten military operations.

And why are they reporting this?

To see where the defensive measures are being beefed up. It will give Isreal intellegence via satellite, on where activity increases; targets.

Isreal will be fed satellite data from 'guess who'. And just for good measures, 'guess who' will supply some intelligent bombs and missles...

It'll be WWIII, I doubt have any doubt in my mind.

IMO
It's been WWIII since September 11, 2001
Thing is, now it fixing to go nuclear.

Time has come for all of us to pray.

This article is BS. A "covert" strike announced 4 months ahead of time on a "secret" nuclear base that everyone knows about.

If it's true, you can expect 3 thing - 1) Iran to be ready for them 2) lots of dead Israelis 3) failure.

Of course Israel will act and rightly so.
Getting rid of Israel is an objective of Iran's.

I've read that Iran is sending arms and men into Iraq as well as agitating the Shiites. I also hear that Russia is selling the weapon systems to Iran to help make war inevitable so they can gain in economic and political power.

German subs have been sold to Israel and I read or heard, that the subs are hanging out in the Indian Ocean parked outside of Iran.

I don't think it will be a nuclear exchange. I think it will be an inevitable regional conflict. And that groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood will continue to gain power.

The nut job in Tehran watches CNN and knows his fifth column aka the democratic party/MSM alliance has frozen the United States in it's "ostrich position".

The Iranians are damned fools if they think they can play this deadly nuclear poker with Sharon and win.

Thank God for Israel, for I think the dems and MSM have lied and twisted enough to render us unable to defend ourselves.

Good, lets go to war. Hundred bucks says something "iiiiinteeerestiiing" shows up. Uh, like OBL (if he's not dead, which is the most likely scenario, he hasn't said a damn thing in a while), Zarqawi, Zawahiri, or some other people on the most wanted list. Among other things, documents implicating iranian involvement in 9/11, possibly attack on Cole, 1993 WTC bombings, etc. I'm very interested in what the results of this war would be.

"I think the dems and MSM have lied and twisted enough to render us unable to defend ourselves."

When the day comes, that we lose a city due to a nuclear explosion, and I have the sinking feeling that we will see just that within a decade or less, they'll be screaming "Reichstag Fire" from every media outlet.

On another thread a week ago it was stated that the Irael AF had F16's with extra wing pod fuel tanks. No refueling required.
