FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

"The question is, would Iran attack Israel with a nuclear bomb? I think it’s extremely unlikely. The regime in Iran is not suicidal. The country is managed by leaders who are on the face of it fundamentalists, but in fact they are very pragmatic.”

And this guy's willing to bet the farm on that?! Wow, he should talk to Reid, Pelosi, Murtha, Kerry, Biden & Company...they'd surely buy quickly anything he's selling.

[Chena]

I'm shocked that they haven't already done so.

I suppose Olmert told the Baltimore Sun all about this top secret bunker, including the location and the planned date of completion.

OH OH something is up

[Paved Paradise]

I'm a little surprised that they don't already have one but this makes one wonder if they know something or are just doing as a normal good preventive measure. Either way, Israel continues to need the prayers of all of us here.

Dig deep

The Israeli government is building a massive war bunker in the hills outside Jerusalem – a refuge for top government officials in the event of a biological, chemical or nuclear attack. The maze of tunnels and underground rooms is scheduled to be completed in the next year or two as fears of an attack from Iran intensify, the Baltimore Sun reported.

I sincerely doubt that a complex like this hasn't been in place for years already.

[Ciexyz]

Most interesting.

[philetus]

I'm sure they already have and this is just a ploy to goad pajamahead into making a fatal move.

Let me see:

1) Picking a design firm with the RFP process: 6 months to a year.

2) Agreeing to a contract and NTP: another 3 months

3) Receiving 35% Design submittal: about 4-6 months

4) Review process: 1 month

5) 95% design Submittal: 6 months

6) Final design and review: 2 months

7) Change order due to high cost: 6 months

8) Bid process: 4 months

9) NTP: 2 months

10) Construction (assuming no delays): 1 year

11) Punch list: 1 month

12) Close out and turnover: 3 months.

This would bring us to the Spring/Summer of 2010.

Unless the project start date was actually August 2, 1990. In which case the command bunker has been done for a long while.

[Perdogg]

something like that in the US would take forever to build.

[HardStarboard]

Thats typical American SNAFU!

Hopefully, Israel, a much smaller and less divided country with, probably, fewer special interest groups, could get it done in a more direct manner.....kinda like when it took Kelly Johnson only, what...8 or 9 months, to get the U-2 in the air.

[pacelvi]

Doesn't the Bible hint that during the End Times ,the remnant of Israel will seek refuge at Petra?

Excellent animation!

[onedoug]

Oh, save Olmert by all means.
