Israel 'Plots Tehran Raid'
Gulf Daily News ^ | June 26, 2010

MANAMA: Israel is massing warplanes in the Caucasus for an attack on Iran, it was revealed yesterday.

Preparations are underway to launch the military attack from Azerbaijan and Georgia, reports our sister paper Akhbar Al Khaleej, quoting military sources.

Israel was, in fact, training pilots in Turkey to launch the strike and was smuggling planes into Georgia using Turkish airspace, they said.

However, Turkey was unaware of Israel's intention of transferring the planes to Georgia, the sources said.

The unexpected crisis between Israel and Turkey following an Israeli commando raid on an aid flotilla bound for Gaza Strip hit Israeli calculations.

Azerbaijan-based intelligence units, working under the cover of technicians, trainers and consultants, have helped with the preparations, the sources said.

Military equipment, mostly supplied by the US, was transported to a Georgian port via the Black Sea.

Georgian coastguard and Israeli controllers are co-operating to hide the operations from Russian vessels, said the sources.

The Azerbaijani parliament has endorsed new Military Concept lately what allows location of foreign troops in country’s territory.

Initially, I might agree, but don’t you think months of such “disinformation” will motivate the Iranians to make themselves even more bombproof than ever?

Seems like disinformation would be counter-productive in this case.

Though our State Dept. denies it,
I’manutjob was one of the pieces of garbage that took our embassy folks hostage.
He deserves a very slow painful torture.

This report may be utter nonsense (or not)....but I do remain convinced that, very soon, the barnyard matter will strike the oscillating air moving device in a BIG way over there.

I don’t think that the Russians are jumping with joy at the idea of having another nuclear Islamic state on their flank. Having Pakistan is bad enough. And just look how our president and theirs are making nice in Canada. I think O was smart, for a change, to not meddle publically in the Iran democracy conflict. That way the Mullahs could not accuse the students of being American lackeys.

A lot of this sounds like our own people trying to put the “military option” back on the table, after Obama foolishly took it off. I don’t think the Iranians are going to be too impressed.

The Israelis will come from a direction that no one expects:

Underneath their feet.

Gravity weapons, never used before, will obliterate the Iranian nuclear facilities.
