    "Israel has said a strike on Iran will be "unavoidable" if the Islamic regime continues to press ahead with alleged plans for building an atom-bomb." (London Daily Telegraph, 6/11/2008)

    "Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany joined President Bush on Wednesday in calling for further sanctions against Iran if it does not suspend its uranium enrichment program." Mr. Bush stressed again that "all options are on the table," which would include military force. (New York Times, 6/11/2008)

    We are fast approaching the final six months of the Bush administration. The quagmire in Iraq is in its sixth painful year with no real end in sight and the forgotten war in Afghanistan is well into its seventh year. The "dead enders" and other armed factions are still alive and well in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan again controls most of that country. Gas prices have now reached an average of $4.00 a gallon nationally and several analysts predict the price will rise to $5.00-$6.00 dollars per gallon at the pump by Labor Day. This, despite assurances by some major supporters of the decision to invade Iraq that the Iraq war "will pay for itself" (Paul Wolfowitz) or that we will see "$20.00 per barrel" oil prices if we invade Iraq (Rupert Murdoch).

    One thing the Pentagon routinely does (and does very well) is conduct war games. Top brass there are constantly developing strategies for conducting any number of theoretical missions based on real or perceived threats to our national security or vital interests. This was also done prior to the invasion of Iraq, but the Bush administration chose not to listen to the dire warnings about that mission given to him by Pentagon leaders, or for that matter, by his own senior intelligence officials. Nevertheless, war gaming is in full swing again right now with the bullseye just to the right of our current mess – Iran.

    It’s no secret that the U.S. is currently putting the finishing touches on several contingency plans for attacking Iranian nuclear and military facilities. With our ground forces stretched to the breaking point in Iraq and Afghanistan, none of the most likely scenarios involve a ground invasion. Not that this administration wouldn’t prefer to march into the seat of Shiite Islam behind a solid, moving line of M1 Abrams tanks and proclaim the country for democracy. The fact is that even the President knows we can’t pull that off any more so he and the neo-cons will have to settle for Shock and Awe Lite.

    If we invade Iran this year it will be done using hundreds of sorties by carrier based aircraft already stationed in the Persian Gulf and from land based aircraft located in Iraq and Qatar. They will strike the known nuclear facilities located in and around Tehran and the rest of the country as well as bases containing major units of the Iranian military, anti-aircraft installations and units of the Revolutionary Guard (a separate and potent Iranian para-military organization).

    Will this military action stop Iran’s efforts to develop nuclear weapons? Probably not. It will probably not even destroy all of their nuclear research facilities, the most sensitive of which are known to be underground, protected by tons of earth and reinforced concrete and steel designed to survive almost all attacks using conventional munitions. The Iranian military and Revolutionary Guard will most likely survive as well, although they will suffer significant casualties and major bases and command centers will undoubtedly be destroyed. However, since Iran has both a functioning Air Force, Navy (including submarines) and modern anti-aircraft capabilities, U.S. fighter-bombers will suffer casualties as well. This will not be a "Cake Walk" as with the U.S. led invasion of Iraq in 2003 when the Iraqi Army simply melted away and the Iraqi Air Force never even launched a single aircraft.

    Not even close.

    iran   Iran Attack Scenario: A Catastrophe

    If the United States attacks Iran either this summer or this fall, the American people had better be prepared for a shock that may perhaps be even greater to the national psyche (and economy) than 9/11. First of all, there will be significant U.S. casualties in the initial invasion. American jets will be shot down and the American pilots who are not killed will be taken prisoner – including female pilots. Iranian Yakhonts 26, Sunburn 22 and Exocet missiles will seek out and strike U.S. naval battle groups bottled up in the narrow waters of the Persian Gulf with very deadly results. American sailors will be killed and U.S. ships will be badly damaged and perhaps sunk. We may even witness the first attack on an American Aircraft carrier since World War II.

    That’s just the opening act.

    Israel (who had thus far stayed out of the fray by letting the U.S. military do the heavy lifting) is attacked by Hezbollah in a coordinated and large scale effort. Widespread and grisly casualties effectively paralyze the nation, a notion once thought impossible. Iran’s newest ally in the region, Syria, then unleashes a barrage of over 200 Scud B, C and D missiles at Israel, each armed with VX gas. Since all of Israel is within range of these Russian built weapons, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and virtually all major civilian centers and several military bases are struck, often with a result of massive casualties.

    The Israeli Air Force orders all three squadrons of their F-16I Sufa fighter/bombers into the air with orders to bomb Tehran and as many military and nuclear bases as they can before they are either shot down or run out of fuel. It is a one way trip for some of these pilots. Their ancient homeland lies in ruins. Many have family that is already dead or dying. They do not wait for permission from Washington, DC or U.S. regional military commanders. The Israeli aircraft are carrying the majority of their country’s nuclear arsenal under their wings.

    Just after the first waves of U.S. bombers cross into Iranian airspace, the Iranian Navy, using shore based missiles and small, fast attack craft sinks several oil tankers in the Straits of Hormuz, sealing off the Persian Gulf and all its oil from the rest of the world. They then mine the area, making it difficult and even deadly for American minesweepers to clear the straits. Whatever is left of the Iranian Navy and Air Force harasses our Navy as it attempts minesweeping operations. More U.S casualties.

    The day after the invasion Wall Street (and to a lesser extent, Tokyo, London and Frankfurt) acts as it always does in an international crisis – irrational speculative and spot buying reaches fever pitch and sends the cost of oil skyrocketing. In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. invasion of Iran, the price of oil goes to $200.00 – $300.00 dollars a barrel on the open market. If the war is not resolved in a few weeks, that price could rise even higher. This will send the price of gasoline at the pump in this country to $8.00-$10.00 per gallon immediately and subsequently to even higher unthinkable levels.

    If that happens, this country shuts down. Most Americans are not be able to afford gas to go to work. Truckers pull their big rigs to the side of the road and simply walk away. Food, medicine and other critical products are not be brought to stores. Gas and electricity (what is left of the short supply) are too expensive for most people to afford. Children, the sick and elderly die from lack of air-conditioned homes and hospitals in the summer. Children, the sick and elderly die in the winter for lack of heat. There are food riots across the country. A barter system takes the place of currency and credit as the economy dissolves and banks close or limit withdrawals. Civil unrest builds.

    The police are unable to contain the violence and are themselves victims of the same crisis as the rest of the population. Civilian rule dissolves and Martial Law is declared under provisions approved under the Patriot Act. Regular U.S. Army and Marine troops patrol the streets. The federal government apparatus is moved to an unknown but secure location. The United States descends into chaos and becomes a third world country. Its time as the lone superpower is over.

    It doesn’t get any worse than this.

    Then the first Israeli bomber drops its nuclear payload on Tehran.

    1. Mike Says:

      Yep – A war with Iran would further cripple our military and would be the final nail in the economic coffin of America!

      That’s thier goal – get ready

    2. GINO TAMAYO Says:

      THATS USING COMMON SENCE ARE U SAYING THE GOVERMENT HAS NONE …OR DO THEY KNOW THESE FACTS AND JUST DONT CARE ……………WOW THIS SOUNDS SERIOUS …GOD HELP US ALL!!!

    3. raleigh Says:

      If you read and know your history, you know that thiis is extremely possible if we in fact do what the administration wants. Can we at least phone our representatives and ask them to stop this, so we can tell them when those who are left that surivive come after them, they had a chance to save themselves and us and chose NOT to.

    4. Margo Says:

      One of the main obstacles to the World Government crowd is the US. Over the past 8 years, they have made major progress in degrading this country. Another war, this one involving Iran, Israel, and god knows who else, would be the coup de grace to what is left of this country, thus removing Amerika from the equation. The Illuminati might be in for a surprise, however, to find that the best laid plans often go awry, and Murphy’s Law has a habit of popping up when ya least expect it.

    5. Ralphio Says:

      Think we better start building our own bunkers kids

    6. I am NOT me Says:

      All of you soft types who are in denial with your heads either in the sand or up your asses better be preparing to quick learn survival techniques and all of you liberals who are so dead set against people having guns better rethink that quickly. Other wise, you will get reap you have sown.

      My advise is for everyone to start visiting gun shops, and gun shows, and buying a lot of ammo while you still can.

      Better stock up on first aid stuff, too, cause many of you yuppie fatsoes with soft hands will be suffering bullet wounds from those you think are your friends.

    7. Reysinhell Says:

      Awesome!!! Nice plot to a good movie! I’d like to see something like that.

    8. Marshall Says:

      We need to tell this administration that we have enough oil in Gull Island AK. and to leave the Iranians alone because we don’t need their oil or the excuse of oil. It’s already been reported that they are far from getting a working nuke. We are not afraid of Iran having nukes but rather the military is afraid of their ability to protect themselves from Israel. This isn’t about nukes that’s an excuse to wage an illegal war, it’s about control of the middle-east and the raping of another country besides Iraq, Afganistan and our own.

      What I don’t like hearing is they are continuing sanctions. Sanctions are another word for a silent war where they starve the country by cutting off supply lines of food and other imported commodities. They are waging a war on Iran with these sanctions which starves women and children until they die without ever firing one bullet. Guilty until proven innocent is how we are conducting business while killing off their population with sanctions.

    9. Reysinhell Says:

      Hehehe, if this does happen and if there is martial law, I’ll be running black markets and getting people to help. Hell, the Kennedy’s did it! Hmmm…what to sell, guns, knives, food…could do a Katrina on some grocery stores, break into to homes and loot. Could even hit the rich peoples homes and roll ‘em. I love the training that the Army gave me. Now that I am out, I have been very, very bored…And I am only one of lots of ex-soldiers back from Iraq. So don’t worry if there is martial law, if the NWO wants this to happen and destroy this country, you know what they say…if you are given lemons, make lemonades!!

    10. RasChris Says:

      It’s only a matter of time until our Satanic Gov’t turns all of America into the middle east…. Get ready, I am

    11. Jack Stevens Says:

      Horrible ignorant article with no basis in reality. The author should be ashamed for such ignorance.

    12. WeNeedTruth Says:

      This will come to be if our military don’t start thinking for themselves, instead of just mindlessly ‘just following orders’. That excuse didn’t work at the Nuremburg trials, and won’t work now.
      Soldiers and all members of the military are human beings, why do they stop acting like it when they put on the uniform?
      If Bush/Cheney have their murderous way, we in North America (yes, even us here in Canada) will enter a new dark age that will rival any doomsday movie ever made.

    13. Mike Says:

      I just bought a 6 month supply of (nuclear radiation protection) Iodine pills – a bigger better gun, rounds of ammo, seeds, a 2 year supply of food for my family and a Berkey water purifier with 4 extra filters. The last step is the bio masks (not cheap at $200.00 per mask). I plan on surviving, at least a little longer than the stupid sheep who will deny all of this is happening until they are dead! I have a safe location and a plan.

      Be prepared

      Got Jesus, its all coming to what has been said in the bible.Mock me if you will, in the bible it too has said that I and others of the christian faith will be mocked and even put to death. Thats what I’m going to relay on.

    17. Ernest Tucker Says:

      Russia and China will be sitting on the sideline and then fill in the power vacuum once the good ole USA have been knock off the King of the Hill.

      “The funny thing about that little white speck on the top of chicken s---. That little white speck is chicken s--- too.”

    18. jimmyp Says:

      the only thing we know for sure is by this time next summer, we will all be looking back on the past year saying “WOW”!! it’s certainly an exciting time to be alive!!

    19. Bert Says:

      Wendel, Dollar Diplomacy started in 2000? Don’t take a bad Federal Government position in existence for decades and make it a partisan issue. It makes you look stupid.

    20. Stuvin Says:

      It certainly paints a terrifying picture of what COULD be, I for one hope that it never comes off but I certainly wouldn’t put it past them to sink the world into a new dark age, Jesus won’t save you, the government won’t save you, you have to save yourself.

    21. John Doe Says:

      Ok lets be realistic here there is no way an American ship will be sunk this article is filled with exaggeration. I agree it would be stupid to try and attack Iran but to think that we would lose an American naval ship is highly unlikely. That is bull s--- and shouldn’t not be put in the article because it ruins the credibility of this author. Plus this article is riddled with errors. Saying invasion and then talking about air strikes. Those are not the same thing. It should say flight missions or something. But I guess thats spliting hairs. Thats really my only complaint but everything else is true. Gas prices would sky rocket and it would just be a disaster. But lets say this aswell I do not blame Israel for defending itself. I like there style of not taking any crap from any one. If it is defending itself rightfully then I don’t have a problem with some of their actions but I will say this if it is done out of corruption which is the most likely case then I don’t agree with their actions.

    22. Rhonda Says:

      HELP RADIO TALK SHOW HOST DON IMUS (IN THE MORNING) NOW. HE IS BEING DEMANDED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE AIRWAVES AGAIN THIS TIME JUST FOR ASKING IF SOMEONE WAS A BLACK MAN. AL SHAPTON IS HIS WORST ENEMY. IT IS ALL OVER THE NEWS. THE MEDIA SHUT OUT OF MICHAEL REAGAN CALLING FOR THE MURDER OF MARK DICE NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO THE NOW OPEN EARS OF THE MEDIA. HELP IMUS AND MARK GETS HELP. THE MEDIA GATES ARE OPEN NOW. MAYBE THE GATES CAN BE KEPT OPEN IF OUR HELP FOR IMUS IS STRONG WHILE HIS BATTLE IS PRESENTLY GOING ON. Thank you.

      Sincerely,
      Rhonda

    23. Rolly Fingers Says:

      Imus sucks.

    24. Involute Mirage Says:

      You forgot to mention one.
      The rest of the world will turn on you.

      The fallout from the plants will spread into neighboring territories.
      Iran isn’t some overnight camp parked in the middle of a desert, either.
      It has some of the most beautiful and modern cities, it’s citizens well kept (see for yourselves) not to mention many Jews live in Iran that have voiced their disapproval of a possible American or Israeli strike.

      America’s average s---head see’s people in the Mid-East that live in what they see on the news or on SouthPark. Far from it. The oil has made them very powerful and wealthy. And America wants it.

      And now that the oil companies are holding it’s collective breath as it steals Iraq’s oil and has made clear all the reasons why you went there.

      The only thing left for you f---ing low life assholes is to sitback, grab your popcorn and watch.
      Watch as your land floods, your streets are flodded with drugs, your minds turned to blank holes by your failing education system and mostly watch as you wonder how the world hates you so.

      Your Neo-Nazi oil war invasions are gonna bleed you f---ers dry.

    25. Snacky Says:

      To John Doe,
      Yes they have a right to defend themselves but not with MY tax money! I could only imagine how their military would be if they weren’t being propped up by the U.S.

    26. ACL Says:

      Yes, but if this NWO is so true to it’s plan, is this not what one would call the perfect plan ? If they so wanted to get rid of the majority of the world population, impose martial law, enslave us, have one world government, is this not the ideal launching scenario ? Scared ? Yes… and so am I. Let’s put it in our delusioned and programmed mind of ours that these criminals will stop at nothing and no criminal want’s to be held accountable for there crimes, to be imprisoned or executed. Now, let’s combine the fact that these criminals also happen to be our world leaders and that most people can not even begin to imagine such a thing leave alone believe it. How easy is this possible for such a catastrophe to happen ? Very….

    27. SHAW Says:

      Imus is a right wing loony, he deserves to go.

    28. REEFERKEEFER Says:

      no matter what you believe about jesus coming or not,or how this is a controlled take over of human kind or not,something IS GOING TO HAPPEN,it is going to happen SOON,people have been blind to the fact that their are way too many ways the Earth can DESTROY ITS POPULATION,with NO help from mankind,MOTHER NATURE is truly the most POWERFUL FORCE KNOWN to man PRESENTLY,BUT you can now throw in the mix these DUMB ass humans RUINING the world, not to mention the EVER PRESENT DANGER OF A ALL OUT NUCLEAR CONFLICT,THEN you have the emerging presence of an EXTERESTRAIL EXESTENCE,with ALL of this converging upon the MAYAN 2012 END DATE,CHANCES ARE s--- IS GONNA HAPPEN!!!!!!!!

      Guys…. it wont be a US ship that gets a False Flag …… it will be a Brit Ship….. if its going to happen. Remember our Sailors that were left out to get taken without any support!!!

    31. Mike in Austin Says:

      What the OWNERS of this world need to know is this. They are dealing with brainwashed citizens. Once it all breaks down, they will dealing with the other side of humanity. At our core we are wild animals. If I begin to starve, my heirarchy of priorities, and my sense of morality will change, and as this happens the brainwashing will fall apart, because the key to our brainwashing is that we wish to rationalize away the tyranny by saying that we still have a neat place to live with food in the fridge. People who can’t buy food won’t pay the electric bill, and all our toys will not work anymore. We will be riding around on bikes, walking around looking for the people who have food. We will plant gardens, start using solar generators, and arming ourselves with the guns of the fallen enemy. My question is WHO will take over North America? Russia? China? Israel? This rich luscious land is PRIME real estate. Who could resist such a grab?

      On another note, I saw somewhere a set of military scenarios that were played out, and in each one, our entire gulf fleet will be sunk. China has invisible subs, and Russia has invisible long range missiles. We do not have a chance in hell of winning this conflict. The OWNERS know this. I am suggesting that just as soon as we attack Iran, ALL promises and treaties, and rule of law will be gone from this country. We will be scapegoated just as Germany was scapegoated, and no one will understand why, not truly knowing history? I think that deep down at the root of it, there are talmudic pharisees, whose elitist/murderous tricks go unchallenged. Whom, by way of money manipulation, created a nearly indefinable slavery that has spread across the globe for hundreds of years, and which is coming to it’s final logical conclusion. Here is something which Israel NEVER WANTS TO HEAR: “Iran has a right to defend herself.”

    32. hijacked nation! Says:

      Israel says unavoidable, why dont we The people of the USA attack israel? They seem to be the ones trying to start a catastrophic war?? Oh thats right ROTHSCHILDS own israel and almost all the central banks as well as AMERICA!! damn I forgot about that!

    33. bigd Says:

      If iran would except the American DOLLAR as payment for oil this would not be happening. But just like sudam the man will not take the Dollar as paymentfor his oil here in lies the PROBLEM. The dollar is not worth any thing and they have figured it out . Bush{fed} are mad and will attack if they dont get what they want. Outher countrys have nucks and we are not gong after them? Isnt that weard?Wake up people the problem is that the fed reserve is colapsing on top on its self and America is going down with it. This is very sad. But americans are so busy having fun and buying bigger and better we were pulled into the same trap as our Goverment. How much $ do u want ? we have it at say 21% and u will never be able to pay it back.

    39. Wolf Britain Says:

      ….(T)urning the entire Middle East, including Israel, into a radioactive no man’s land, and causing skyrocketing radioactivity to circle the globe. All around us, particularly in places closer to the devastation like Europe, etc., people will be dying of various cancers like flies. Right now, due to depleted uranium circling the globe, it is said — which are no doubt (very?) low estimates — that one in three Americans will contract cancer sometime in their lives. Once the Middle East is much more of a radioactive wasteland, it will undoubtedly go from two out of three to virtually everyone, and almost know one, if anyone, will be spared the devastating effects of it.

      And the rest of humanity the world-over will be very ill from many other immune disorders and other opportunistic illnesses caused the radiation; actually, it could accurately be said that we already are. There are now many so-called “mysterious”, “controversial” autoimmune and/or immuno-compromised “syndromes” all over the world. Well, just think, after nuclear devastation much worse than has already been inflicted on the area and the world by depleted uranium occurs, the prevalence of these immune disorders will skyrocket globally as well, to almost complete population devastation of incredibly widespread proportions.

      This is the extent to which the Machiavellian, genocidal, mass-murderous globalists WANT worldwide conditions to become; and they will much more greatly realize their desire(s) for the mass extermination of most of humankind all over the planet. They are engineering and orchestrating it, and bringing it to fruition. If this situation continues to be allowed to occur, very soon almost no one will be left alive except for a few hundred million people, and most if not all of them will be extremely ill and will end up dying as well. Such is the insanity that we’re allowing a relatively few evil, educated morons to perpetrate against all of us….

    40. Vic Says:

      What factual information supports this article, or is this just supposition on the part of the author? Heard the same doom & gloom report before the 1st U.S. invasion of Iraq. We were told Iraq had the 4th largest army in the world and would inflict heavy casualties, and that the military hadn’t performed a large operation since Vietnam and therefore would cause a multiplying effect in casualties. I’m not saying the author is wrong, but I don’t like the idea that he presents his information as fact without any supporting data.

    41. Mike Florey Says:

      On another note, what ever else you can say about the Israelis, they are master tacticians and we (citizens) probably won’t know anything about the whole confrontation until its over. I’m guessing they’ll model the attack after that pre-emptive strike on the Egyptians May 30, 1967. On that one pivotal move, the geopolitics of the region were changed forever and in only six days!
      Not surprisingly, the United States provided the aerial reconnaissance photos of Egyptian tanks amassing on the border which precipitated the war.
      So, think about history repeating itself. Think of a nuclear-armed country which believes (however wrongly) that its backed into a corner.

      Think about how the Israeli defense force doesn’t play unless its got a winning hand.

      I see the scenario playing out much differently than the author of this article.

    42. Mike Florey Says:

      THIS JUST IN: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories.....6201.shtml

    43. Rhonda Says:

      You people who commented back about Don Imus whether pro or con about his situation,

      What? You do not get it? It is not about Imus. It is about having a media ear NOW on the Michael Reagan/Mark Dice call for murder case. Asking if a man is a black man gets media atteniton across the country with the demand to have him removed form the airwaves, yet there is a media blackout when a call for murder is exposed. If the media wants to talk about Imus, then they need to be questioned as to why they are being silent about Mark Dice having a murder contract on him. Can you not see that?!

      We are suppose to be people who see the fuller picture. It is not about Imus, whether he is scum or he can handle himself. This shows “they” are keeping you as small minded or closed minded as the enemy wants you to be. Have you drank too much floridated water? Unless Alex is too far behind, I am ashamed that he has not picked up on that. Imus’s situation makes him part of our cause, like him or not. We have a common enemy. Alex should be sent letters about this telling him to relate it to the murder call of Mark Dice (and all of us who believe in Mark Dice’s cause). Thank you.

      Hope you now understand,
      Rhonda

    44. Thomas Says:

      The Pentagon has war gamed this scenario extensively. Their scenarios has the US Navy losing around 16 ships in about 15 minutes due to Iranian speed boat swarming tactics. Not to mention the hundreds of anti ship missiles that will be fired. So I don’t know why John Doe thinks it’s so impossible to lose a US Ship. No military is totally unbeatable. Everyone has their weakness. Remember, the earliest versions of chess originated in Persia. They know how to play.

    45. Thomas Says:

      In their war with Iraq, the Iranians used human wave attacks against the Iraqis. They will do the same to the US Navy with speedboats loaded with explosives. The Persian Gulf and straights of Hormuz will limit the US Fleet’s maneuverability. The Iranians may even take out a US carrier as unthinkable as they may sound. If I was planning the defense of Iran, the minute enemy planes entered Iranian airspace I would immediately launch a full scale attack against the US aircraft carriers. Take out the carriers and the US planes would have nowhere to return to.

      As Admiral Akbar said in ROTJ “Concentrate all firepower on that super star destroyer”.

    46. Isa Says:

      Who was the moron that said a US ship will not be sunk? Don’t you remember the 2006 war in Lebanon? An Israeli ship was nearly sunk by a small militia group. When the UK attacked the Falkland Islands a British ship nearly sunk. That invasion of the Falklands was in the ’80s. If a small militia in Lebanon and Argentina can nearly sink a British ship in the ’80s Iran definitely will sink multiple USA vessels. Iran has many missiles and won’t be afraid to use them if they are bombed.

    47. Isa Says:

      To the moron(s) who said Iran will not sink an American ship if there is a war: Iran has the Yingji-82 missile the Noor missile the “Silkworm” missile the Exocet missile and many more. The Persian Gulf will be a watery grave for the US Navy.

      I think this is accurate except for Sryia launching the VX gas…that’s a shore way to get nuked, and Isreal likely has nuclear missiles as well, and would not soley rely on aircraft for their nuclear arsenel. Listen, we all know that if Isreal and the US and NATO (because England and France both also have aircraft carriers and land based aircraft in the Gulf as well) go full blast, they will destroy everything in their paths. Even in Lebanon, and Syria, a full mobilization of reserves by Israel will result in adequet defense, as they are still more technologically advanced than their adversaries, and if anything, perhaps the reason that Israel and the US are likely to strike first because SURPRISE is one of the most important principle of warfare…and can make a dramatic difference. They say Iran has “escalation dominance”, but really, Israel and the US maintain the initiative at the moment. We all know, and especially the Pentagon Brass know, the best way to win this conflict is to be the attacker…and i’m not saying i agree with this war, or any of it, but, that was why they did 9/11, so they would never have to wait to be attacked, because they know they would never suffer from something like that. they now have declared that “pre-emptive measures” as far as war strategy and military interventions, is the new gosple in D.C.-and every military action since has been just that. and because of it, they do win. its sad, but militarily, both Afganistan and Iraq were total cakewalks when compared to standards like WWII or even Vietnam. Iran will be different, but if the US and Israel DONT have the capability to defeat Iran and Syria, then we’re all in a lot of trouble…

      Focusing on the integument of the argument is not an instrument of monument. Defending a just war requires no pretending. Standing for undemanding understanding ends in stranding. Waste not efforts that cast no comforts.

    52. Ethan Says:

      He who wishes to fight must first count the cost. When you engage in actual fighting, if victory is long in coming, then men’s weapons will grow dull and their ardor will be dampened. If you lay siege to a town, you will exhaust your strength. Again, if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain. Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor dampened, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue… In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns.

      Realistic predictions but it’s WAY more complicated than that. China has a 10 year oil supply deal signed with Iran, the will not accept a US attack on Iran. The radiation from nuclear blast would spread over the entire region, making a disaster that will make WW2 seem like a fairy land, it could reach Europe and Russia.

      I think we have to admit that it’s impossible do predict why they would want such a war. Are the economic reasons enough (Military Industrial Complex)? The public is so dumb they could just announce their NWO tomorrow and people would celebrate like they waited for it all their life even if they had to sell their nation and culture.

      If you know their NWO plan, then a war with Iran is a “unnecessary step” toward a NWO, which would just end up killing many for no political benefit. Iran war would create an instant public uprising which could well initiate members inside the NWO to turn against them and denounce their own plan. And then, even if they succeeded,since their plan has been exposed, they would be remembered forever as traitors to humanity.

      And EVEN then, they are going to meet themselves after death.

I know when the time comes, I will be there, even if it means sacrificing my life. I would rather be dead than live as a slave to the NWO. There are many very evil people in the world, in my heart, I know there are many more good people in the world than bad. Our childred now and in the future deserve to live in a world without war.

      Hezbollah 2, Israel 0
      By Joanna Francis
      Crescent and Cross
      8-18-6

      Make no mistake about it ­ the Israelis are getting their tails kicked in Lebanon! Just like they did in May 2000, when Hezbollah sent them scurrying back across the border with their tails between their legs. The Israelis never forgot that stinging defeat and have now demanded a rematch with Hezbollah. And much to their surprise, Israel has already managed to lose the rematch too. Considering the disparity in numbers and weaponry between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel should have achieved a decisive victory by now. But they haven’t. And it doesn’t help their case any that they have had to resort to bombing the entire country, killing women and children, to try to save face. It only makes them look more pathetic. They will never be able to swagger quite so arrogantly again, or instill fear in the groveling leaders of their neighboring countries in quite the same way. The Israelis have been outfoxed at every turn by an irregular army using prehistoric weaponry, with little to no support from neighboring countries (the leaders, that is), but who have proven themselves to be unwavering in their determination. Hezbollah are fighting against the best weaponry American money can buy. And they are winning.

      Because you can’t buy courage. Even with the entire United States treasury at your disposal, the things that matter most to real men simply cannot be purchased. Therefore, the poor man has the advantage over the rich man because valor, manliness, and honor are free to those with nothing to lose. The Israelis had everything to lose in this misguided operation and have proceeded to do so exceedingly well. Even among their most brainwashed sycophants, their credibility is in the single digits. The excuse of the “kidnapped” soldiers is totally bogus to anyone with an I.Q. over 70, because Hezbollah has offered to release them in exchange for a ceasefire but Israel has refused. Meanwhile, Israel has kidnapped thousands of Lebanese citizens over the years who languish in Israeli prisons to this day. And the Katyusha rocket pity party won’t work either, because the Katyusha rockets are simply in retaliation for Israeli aggression, not vice versa, and can hardly compare to the bombs being dropped on Lebanon. If they thought for one moment that they would rout out Hezbollah, they were seriously mistaken. You cannot eliminate a fighting force whose reason for existence is justified by the fact that Israel continues to occupy their land, invade their air space, and hold their people as political prisoners. Kill them all, and another generation will simply step up to the plate and take their place.

      The Israelis fight like sissies from fighter jets, dropping bunker-buster bombs on defenseless women and children. That’s real manly! They roll across the border in heavily-armored tanks, confident that they’ll be impervious to Hezbollah’s weaker arsenal. Only lately, those tanks have had the surprising habit of turning into human crematoria for the Israeli soldiers inside them. So why don’t they get out of their tanks and fighter jets and go toe-to-toe with Hezbollah like real men? (See first sentence of essay). The fourth most powerful military in the world has been given a shiny black eye that no amount of make-up will ever be able to hide. The aura of invincibility they so haughtily projected is now tarnished beyond repair. Bragging rights go to Hezbollah, as Israel eats its long-overdue humble pie. Why do I feel so strongly about this, you might ask? Because Israel has made me, an American taxpayer, complicit in their war crimes, and I, for one, am glad to see them finally getting their comeuppance.

      In fact, the Israelis are losing so badly that their co-religionists in the West have had to order new false flag operations to take their humiliating defeat off the front pages. It’s like that scene in the Wizard of Oz where Toto pulls back the curtain on the “Great Oz,” only to discover that he’s really a weaselly old man, pretending to be something that he’s not. Well, the curtain has been pulled back on the Zionists, and they are standing there in all their naked cowardice and cruelty, for all world to see. And the world is repulsed. Hence, the PR campaign now underway to try to remind us goyim that all Muslims are “terrorists” and that the Israelis are always the victims. So now we’re supposed to feel relieved that the Israelis are only killing “terrorists” (not human beings), and that they are only trying to make the world a safer place for all of us. Only it’s not going to work this time. I mean, how stupid do they think we are? Just when world sympathy was leaning heavily towards Lebanon and away from Israel, does any sane person really believe that Muslims would try to pull off an ill-fated stunt? Only the most credulous of FOX News watchers could fail to notice that the timing of these supposed terror plots is extraordinarily convenient.

      The mainstream media is just another weapon in the Israeli armory, but this time, chinks are beginning to show. The Zionist-controlled media try their best to obfuscate the cowardice of their own kin by wrongly portraying Hezbollah as hiding behind women and children. In psychiatry (a dangerous medical specialty they invented), this is called “projection,” or the attempt to transfer your own negative traits onto another person. They know all about projection because they do it so well. But Israel cannot hide the fact that they have slaughtered more than 1,000 civilians, mostly women and children, and have destroyed almost the entire infrastructure of a modern, democratic state. Yet they cynically try to portray themselves as reluctant and contrite killers, in a grotesque attempt to blame innocent victims for their own deaths.

      What did they think was going to happen when they plunked themselves down in the middle of a million Arabs, after slaughtering them to steal their land in 1948? Did they really think they would get away with it indefinitely? Obviously so, since they’ve now set out to conquer more sovereign Arab territory, fully revealing their expansionist agenda to anyone with eyes to see. Only something unexpected has happened on the way to Eretz Israel; they’ve run into a brick wall called Hezbollah, who will not relinquish their sovereignty to the Zionist land-grabbers.

      It’s slowly starting to dawn on the Zionists that Lebanon will never be part of Eretz Israel, and that the Litani River will never provide drinking water to Israeli settler households. Plan “Eretz Israel” has been put on hold by a small Lebanese militia with more guts than most men can even dream about. In any area that counts, Hezbollah is already victorious. Courage? How brave do you have to be to stay and fight when you are out-numbered, out-gunned, out-tanked, and out-bombed? Very brave, indeed. This war was nothing more than an Israeli land-grab attempt, and an opportunity to exercise collective punishment on an entire people for Israel’s defeat at the hands of Hezbollah in May 2000. But the Israeli soldiers aren’t half the fighters Hezbollah are; hence, their second defeat in six years at the hands of their bitter enemies. Hezbollah now owns them ­ lock, stock and barrel.

      I agree with Rob in Canada. It follows the old adage: “If you treat us good, we’ll treat you better. Treat us bad and we’ll treat you worse.”
      Launching a chemical weapon attack is all but asking for a spread of tactical nukes in return.
      Let me run this up the flagpole and see who salutes: The Mid East theater is so compact (in comparison to previous global conflict) that even a tactical response can have theater-wide consequences.
      Of related comments here: Military doctrine holds that an attacking force should have a three-to-one advantage when engaging an enemy dug in and ready to defend itself. General Nathan Bedford Forrest once observed that winning meant getting there “firstest with the mostest” and the nations surrounding Israel enjoy numerical superiority. However, should Israel choose a pre-emptive strike, the element of surprise would level the field. Surprise is in fact a great force multiplier.

      Just saying, even from this old Jarhead’s view, Israel doesn’t have any strategic option but to launch a devastating theater-wide pre-emptive strike.

      So the people of Iran think he is a dick as well, and dont want him in power. Look up the youtube video of him giving a speech at Teran university, the students are SCREAMING at him, throwing stuff, screaming out dictator, its madness.

      Here’s the problem with your nightmare – the Russian stuff is junk, comparatively. Odds are those exocets can’t actually get to the carrier to hit it before being shot down by the automated defense systems aboard ship. Those air defense grids are completely reliant on radar that can’t see the first strike planes(F-22s) and odds are we have a classified cruise missile that can also be said of. Our own fighters can’t see the F-22 if they don’t want to be seen, so the Russian stuff is toast.

      As far as underground research facilities, that’s the reason that they developed bunker busters. Even if the bunker is so far down that it escapes the blast, the entrance and exit are destroyed burying the thing forever. And don’t get me started on what will happen once the combined air-ground task forces go work. There will be a LOT more casualties, but the Iranians will be beaten and probably quite badly. The reason that we are having trouble in Iraq is because we aren’t allowed to randomly mow down whole towns – if things get bad enough that restriction will be lifted and then the streets of Persia will run red, until the cluster bombs put craters where the streets used to be.

      You people don’t seem t get just how good at this Americans are. More than anything, death is our greatest skillset. So for the love of all that is Holy and Good please made as large a noise against invasion as you can and spare EVERYONE the suffering.

AS superior as we are militaraly people just dont get it that a war with Iran is a BIG F*CKIN DEAL! Russia and China aren’t going top sit on the sidelines for this one.

Israel seems to be the champion in that department and we are a close second after 911. London did the same with their London Bombings. Who and what is next?

    76. Mike in Austin Says:

      The next false flag may well be in a country that Israel wants to come into the fray? They need another force to cover for them>Iran is a huge mountainous country, it shares a border with Russia, and Chinese Subs are in the Indian Ocean. Israeli soldiers can not stray, with Syria so close to the north. They want the u.S. to dig in at the western border of Iran, which is a short drive, the U.S. fleet to blockade in the south. What do they got? Well we have forts in Saudi, Iraq, and probably in UAE for sure. Perhaps the assassination of Bhutto in Pakistan was to insure that we can control Iran’s eastern border, with Pakistan as an ally. So it looks like a stalemate. If israeli allies unleash, and Iran unleashes, you then have a huge area that is ready for a Russian strike. Britain needs an allied force to keep Syria busy to the west. So, my guess is that there will be a false flag in Germany or France. GUESSING.

    77. Mike in Austin Says:

      This article does not account for all the dominoes. It stops at oil going up, and crushing the U.S. economy. But how can we leave out the facts about russia and china? They are allied with Iran. They will not look on and no dothing! If the U.S. economy is destroyed, who will buy all the Walmart toys? It’ll be a bust, and china will dump 1.3 trillion of Dollars immediately. If the U.S. is busted, why would saudi arabia and all the other oil producing nations denominate in dollars? The deals would ALL be off. A hellstorm of dollar implosion would spread all across the globe, and most countries would disassociate with the U.S. The U.S. would then become a British colony, just like Australia, probably encompassing Canada and Mexico. THEN everyone in the West would be the European Union. I’ll tell you why! Because we would have to ACCEPT EUROS as MONEY. De Facto, presto! It is because OIL has been chosen as the world’s real currency.

      Now, with the euro as the peg, and the expanded EU as a united superpower, the next stage of world domination begins. I believe that once the U.S. is completely sacked, something incredibly traitorous will happen! ALL THE NORTH AMERICAN OIL WELLS WILL BE OPENED UP, AND MASSIVE, MASSIVE, HUGE, HUGE AMOUNTS OF OIL WILL BEGIN TO FLOW FROM NORTH AMERICA.

      So, while the prospect of attacking Iran seems insane, it could very well be the needed catalyst for the Sacking Of North America. Look at our leaders: Would they mind? No. Harper? Bush? Calderon? Why are the draconian measures most prevalent in the U.S. Mexico Canada, and Britain? Because they are being “harmonized” for integration. The IMF and World Bank have figured a way to finally rip off the People of the United States of America for everything they EVER HAD, including their sovereignty. Then the oil will flow.
