Talk Of Imminent War Against Iran Amid An Attack Of "Coincidences"
The Intelligence Daily ^ | Monday February 4, 2008 | Len Hart

Posted on 02/04/2008 5:57:42 AM PST by Fennie

Before leaving the Middle East, Bush is reported to have promised Benjamin Netanyahu that the US would join Israel in a nuclear strike on Iran. In Israel, there is talk of a "...a rain of missiles" for which Israelis must prepare now.

Speaking on radio as part of a military propaganda offensive, retired general Udi Shani said: "The next war will see a massive use of ballistic weapons against the whole of Israeli territory."

Shani was tasked recently with drawing up a report on the way the military authorities operated during Israel's summer war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

During that conflict thousands of rockets hit Israel, but were limited to the north of the country from where hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated.

The character of war has changed, said the general.

"Strikes to the rear must now be taken into account -- that is what will come and we must prepare in a totally different way for this eventuality," he said...

Bush has said numerous times that he’s not going to take a chance on matters such as this that his successor will do it.

“Not buying this at all.”

Nor I. Everything after that first sentence makes sense though.

“Bush has said numerous times that he’s not going to take a chance on matters such as this that his successor will do it.”

Yeah, and he also said he would vigorously prosecute the WOT, yet he steadfastly refuses to secure our borders. Sorry, but the guy has zero credibility left.

You are misinformed.

The President has persued the building on the border according to the laws that have been passed.

Border Fence signed into law
Testing has been and still being conducted.
Sandia, partners evaluate vehicle barrier performance of fence technologies for borders

Some of the land-owners, mayors, and the Sierra Club along the border have been a stumbling block to completing the fence.

Sierra Club opposes fence in Texas.
USCCB Migration Chair Urges Opposition to 700-Mile Border Fence
There is even a group using the Environmental Species Act to oppose the fence to protect the jaguar. The Northern Jaguar Project

The Dept.of Homeland Security is filing lawsuits for easement and access on these lands, so the can continue to build the roads to build the fence along the border.

Investigate, educate, then opinionate.

“Investigate, educate, then opinionate.”

Let me see. Bush took ofice in January, 2001. We were attacked on September 11, 2001. Uh, just when did Bush openly call for closing the borders? He never did! Oh, he tossed out some bromide about building a partial fence, but that was some six years after we were attacked. Also, he slashed the request for more border patrol agents. and came right out and called anyone who opposed the massive invasion by illegals bigots and racists. If Bush was so intent on securing the borders, how come they are not secure, nor are they anywhere close to being secure? Hell, he was also wholly in support of letting moslem Dubai control our ports! And you have the gall to tell me to “investigate and educate”? That’s all I’ve been doing for the last several years. You may not care if America becomes a third-world toilet wracked by chaos and anarchy, but I do.

Sure Bush said that. And it’s a secret too. Right?

Yeah, that’s why it’s being reported here.

Unless you are willing to declare martial law and then use the military to build the fence regardless of property rights, then you have an argument.

And don't be presumptuous that I do not care about the border, otherwise I wouldn't have links to the progress, and the opposition to the fence.
