Israel ready to strike Iran: ex-envoy

[CrackSmokeRepublican]

Looks like the Mass-murder in Gaza was just a warm-up to this idiot plan.
I'm starting to believe the Financial Crisis was engineered or at least timed to take Russia out of the game if Israel launches this crazy sh*t.
With the Jew-Mossad attacks in India-Pakistan and the upping of the US Forces in Afghanistan, it is all in an effort to isolate the ultimate target Iran since Iraq is out of the way.

Israel ready to strike Iran: ex-envoy
Jason Koutsoukis in Jerusalem
February 14, 2009
A FORMER senior Israeli diplomat has warned that Israel is ready to launch a military offensive against Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.

In an exclusive interview, Dan Gillerman, Israel's permanent United Nations representative from 2003 until last September, said the time for diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear capability might already have expired.

"The world cannot afford to live with a nuclear Iran," he said. "I hope diplomacy will work, but I'm not sure we have the time for it to work.

"Israel has made it very clear that it will not live with a nuclear Iran, and I believe that Israel has the ability and the capacity to make sure that it will not happen."

Mr Gillerman, who is to visit Australia this month and is one of Israel's most senior diplomatic voices, said two clocks were running with respect to Iran. "There is the technological clock of Iran, and there is the diplomatic clock, and I think the Iranian clock is running much faster.

"Israel has both the responsibility to defend itself and the capacity to defend itself, and I am sure that when the time comes and all other options have been exhausted, Israel will act in the only way it must to protect its people."

Detailed military plans to bomb Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities have long been on the table of Israel's senior military commanders.

Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, was believed to have requested support from the US for a military strike on Iran last May, but the plans were aborted after president George Bush declined to endorse them.

Last June Israel carried out a military exercise over the Mediterranean involving more than 100 F-16 and F-15 fighters in what was interpreted as a rehearsal for a bombing attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

On Tuesday the man most likely to lead Israel's next government, the Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu, made a direct reference to Iran in his speech claiming victory in general elections.

"Israel is facing an Iranian threat, from afar and from near. The nuclear threat and the terror threat ... it will be up to us to deal with this, and we will be able to deal with these two challenges successfully."

Shaul Mofaz, the former Israel Defence Forces chief-of-staff, who is in line to become defence minister, also warned last June that Israel might have no choice but to attack Iran.

Israel has carried out two air strikes against suspected nuclear sites in the past 30 years.

In 1981 its jets conducted a raid against Iraq's nuclear plant at Osirak, and in September 2007 it bombed a structure in Syria that was believed to have housed a nuclear reactor.

However, any attack against Iran would be a much more complicated military exercise, with Iran's uranium enrichment facilities spread across numerous sites.

Iran's comparatively sophisticated military, and its distance from Israel could present further complications for Israeli military planners, and risk setting off a full-scale war.

Mr Gillerman warned that the world could not afford to underestimate the seriousness of the Iranian threat.

"We have a very extreme, radical fundamentalist regime there with a President who denies the Holocaust while preparing the next one, and has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the map," he said.

"My advice to the rest of the world is to listen to him very carefully and take him at face value and take him seriously.

"We all paid a huge price for not taking seriously the ranting of another small, moustached leader who some people considered as crazy, and I don't think we have the luxury to show the same indifference and apathy as we did before."

Ex-official: Israel can hardly wait to attack Iran

A senior Israeli diplomat says Tel Aviv has not shelved plans for Iran war.
Tel Aviv has by no means shelved its plans to strike the Iranian nuclear infrastructure, says a former Israeli envoy to the United Nations.

In the harshest war rhetoric since the deadly offensive on Gaza, former Israeli UN ambassador, Dan Gillerman, said Tel Aviv could not afford to wait any longer for diplomatic efforts to curb Iran's uranium enrichment program adding that it was preparing a military offensive against the country.

Gillerman said international diplomacy is vastly overrated when it comes to dealing with Iran's nuclear program. He further said that Israel has made it crystal clear that "it will not live with a nuclear Iran."

The West accuses Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program and under such pretext has so far imposed three rounds of sanctions on the country.

The Islamic Republic has severely dismissed the allegations saying its nuclear program is solely aimed at generating electricity.

"Israel is facing an Iranian threat, from afar and from near. The nuclear threat and the terror threat ... it will be up to us to deal with this, and we will be able to deal with these two challenges successfully," he continued.

Gillerman urged the international community to consider Tehran as a serious threat, drawing a parallel between the government of Iran and that of Nazi Germany - a metaphor that quite ironically was used by the international community to describe the Israeli forces' killing of Palestinian civilians.

"We all paid a huge price for not taking seriously the ranting of another small, mustached leader who some people considered as crazy, and I don't think we have the luxury to show the same indifference and apathy as we did before," he said.

Gillerman likened the Islamic Republic to the Hitler regime, while Israel is facing war international crime charges for actions that have been widely referred to as holocaust of Palestinians.

Prominent UN investigator Richard Falk said Israel's war on Gaza is widely reminiscent of "the worst kind of international memories of the Warsaw Ghetto" which included the starvation and murder of Polish Jews by Nazi Germany in the World War II.

Falk called for an independent inquiry into Israel's violation of international humanitarian law, saying there is more than enough evidence that Tel Aviv committed war crimes in its three week-long offensive into Gaza.

Israel launched Operation Cast Lead on December 27 with the declared goal of self-defense and toppling the Hamas government.

The UN Charter and international law, however, do not give Israel the legal foundation for claiming self-defense in the case of its Gaza operations.

More than 1,330 Palestinians — the natives of the land — were killed during Israel's Operation Cast Lead, while thousands of others, many of them women and children, remain hospitalized.

The only question left is: When these madmen do attack, will the US be sucked into this conflict? US can't afford more wars. Another war would cause an immediate crash of the markets.

Interesting question MikeWB. I wouldn't put it past the ZioIdiots to try and expand the theater to all of Lebanon-Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan ala WWIII. The "democratic" US/UK/Israel/India as Allies against Multi-National Islam.   They may even try and sell this stupid sh*t as a way out the Jew induced "Depression"  ala WWII.  America is a crazed Rabbi's Golem right now. Jew Intelligence agencies have infected all branches of the US government and of course the US congress's has a general infection from Jew Pac money.
