Report: Israel unhappy with U.S. plan for Iran

[Purveyor]

Source: Jewish Telegraphic Agency

The United States reportedly has a plan for attacking Iran whose scope is deemed insufficient by Israel.

The Bush administration this summer revived a long-standing contingency plan for military strikes against Iran with a view to retaliating for Tehran's support for the Iraqi insurgency, the New Yorker magazine reported in its latest edition.

According to correspondent Seymour Hersh, the plan was shared with U.S. allies including Israel, which raised objections to the relative lack of Iranian nuclear facilities on a target roster that instead focused on military training camps.

1. That's probably because Israel is able to forsee the fall out of

a US Led attack on Iran....All countries in that region will turn on Israel and join to attack Israel.

Israel better speak louder because the * administration is going to do it before the next US election.

[whistle]

5. ...a U.S. led attack on "Israel" or on "Iran"? Why will the U.S. attack Israel?

[MadMaddie]

8. I meant Iran...typing and watching the tube at the same time..

[whistle]

10. Okay I figured as much, although BushCo and the neocons are capable of almost

...anything

[MadMaddie]

13. This is true...watching Sci-Fi channel Stephen King movie....

The Storm of the Century.....good movie..

16. I'm generally pro Israel

Mostly because they seem to have at least an intelligent sense of reasoning often lacking in the Middle East (howls of racism from the crowd).

However for you conspiracy buffs: Assuming for a moment the fringe groups plausible thought that Mossad really did have direct involvement in 9/11? Well then it follows that they would be holding Washington hostage. Thus no attacks on Iran unless it suits top Israeli intel plans.

Seems reasonable to me. Plus I figured it out all by myself.

Yeah i know that a lot of people here are desperately unhappy with what they call "Zionism". However given a choice to being manipulated by Dick Cheney or the Israelis i trust Jerusalem more.

Much more in fact...

17. I don't trust either..they seem to be hand in hand on this.

22. .......get that zit on the end of yore nose!

2. What? Is it just a given now that Iran is supplying aid to "insurgents" in Iraq?

Last I heard, that was speculative. Is it a fact now? Is it just something that goes unqestioned now? We're further down the path now, the path of lies?

Does it make sense?

7. Media has its marching orders

Just as Iraq had WMDs, Iran supplies insurgents. So says the media. One and all.

Don't need no stinkin' facts.

[leftchick]

20. I didn't even like the way Hersh described it on CNN yesterday.

He said "the administration is convinced Iran's RG is hurting our boys". He did not make a distinction that there is no proof of what they are selling. He really needed to emphasis that it is MORE LIES for war and he didn't.

:(

19. Recently, a Huffington Post article was posted,

outlining statements by high ranking US military officers, which indicated rather conclusively, that there is no evidence whatever, that Iran is supplying 'insurgents' in Iraq.

Doubtless, you saw it.

It is interesting, how this lie continues to appear in one news source after another, as a statement of fact.

3. this will be moved in 5-4-3-2-1

9. why?

[whistle]

4. Not to start this up again, but in connection to the "I hate all Iranians"

...statement by the high up US State Department Official, here was a response on another blog whcih sort of ties the whole mindset together, I think:

"I Hate All Iranians," Key Pentagon Aide Tells Shocked British MPs

<cut to comment>
The kind of senseless hatred against Iranians from key BushCo. officials and the NeoCon warpigs is filling American, British and Australian media.

If it's not the clearly disturbing "Bomb Iran Now" cheer-leading from the internationally loathed 'diplomat' John Bolton, it's the self-declared godfather of American neoconservatives, Norman Podhoretz advising Bush to bomb Iran before it's too late -too late being the end of the Bush presidency - and then boasting about it to any media that will listen as he tries to flog his new hate book calling for more war on Muslims.

The calls for violent bloodshed and attacks on sovereign nations are almost solely coming from the United States when it comes to a future War On Iran. By no coincidence, Bolton and Ponderhertz are two of the biggest promoters of key anti-Iranian hate myths - that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for the destruction of the US, has denied Nazi Germany killed millions of Jews and that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map."

NeoCons demand truth and accountability from Iran when it comes to its nuclear energy programs, but naturally they reject both measures of accuracy when it comes to their propaganda programs of poisoning the minds of Americans against the only Middle East nation that immediately held candlelight vigils for the victims of 9/11, within hours of the attacks, and quickly offered to help President Bush destroy the Al Qaeda terrorist network.

BushCo. and the NeoCons rejected Iran's offer to bust apart Al Qaeda, and also recently rebuffed Iranian offers to help fight Al Qaeda in Iraq and restore security and peace to the war-shattered country.



There is another link of Ms Cagan's comment to the neocons, the suggested mindset with these people.

6. Podhoretz should be put forthwith in a rubber room.

[whistle]

12. ...and John Bolton too, but they are not, so they must be watched

[liberalhistorian]

11. Tough fucking shit. Let THEM do their

own goddamn dirty work for once, instead of always expecting us to do it for them.

[sendero]

21. My thoughts...

.. exactly. I'm tired of being Tom Sawyered for Israel. Plenty of their problems are of their own making, let them sort it out.

[xchrom]

14. oh brother.

:eyes:

[provis99]

15. Well, thats because Bush doesn't care about nuclear weapons in Iran

Anymore than he cared about WMD in Iraq. The point is not to stop WMD from proliferating, the point is to remove their governments. Surely the Israelis know this.

[The Sushi Bandit]

18. Gee i'm RELAY FUCKING SORRY ISRAEL!

time to tell everyone you already have an A-Bomb!
