Washington: The intelligence information gathered by the Unites States regarding Iran's technological breakthrough that could lead Teheran to an atom bomb in less than three years bodes well with President George Bush's political desperation.



The new intelligence indicates that Iran is making accelerated progress in acquiring the required amount of enriched uranium for assembling its first nuclear bomb.



Until recently, American intelligence estimated that this would only happen in 2015. Now US intelligence is falling into line with its colleagues in Israel and is estimating that an Iranian bomb can be expected as early as 2010.



Contrary to the war in Iraq, the American public does indeed view Iran as a real threat. The combination of a radical religious regime and weapons of mass destruction is America's worst nightmare. Publication of the information is part and parcel of the imminent beating of war drums: On the one hand the Bush Administration is building a significant naval force along the Iranian coast, and on the other it is signaling to the public that the Iranian threat is approaching in great strides.



When the information was revealed on CBS, senior officials at the Pentagon were quoted as saying that now there will be more pressure on Israel to carry out a preventative strike on Iran, just as it did in 1981 in Iraq.



And indeed less than two days elapsed since the publication and Israel's prime minister was quoted in the German weekly Focus as outlining the possibility of such an attack, which would include firing 1,000 cruise missiles in 10 days.



Pentagon expects Israel to do job

The intelligence information that so appropriately fits President Bush's political needs also ties in well with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's war of survival.



It seems that just a few hours prior to the publication of the Winograd report, the prime minister prefers diverting the public's attention to a completely different channel. Similar to Bush, Olmert also knows that when the public is apprehensive it tends to unite behind its leadership.



The moment the information was received the US and Israel closed ranks. Both countries doubt that international sanctions would suffice in halting the Iranian bomb. Bush knows that in the event he decides to go to war with Iran, even the Democrats would support him. Olmert also knows that it would not be difficult for him to secure a similar coalition at home.



The Pentagon expects Israel to do the job itself by use of the aircraft and arms it received from the US. However, either way, both Washington and Jerusalem know that the countdown has begun.

Yea, just like the intelligence for Iraq was cooked up by that 'special' office that Cheney made up, so this 'intelligence' should be taken with a grain of salt and triple verified by numerous sources before it's considered legitimate.

Re: Countdown has begun: US, Israel prepare for Iran strike in wake of new intelligence information
despite all the crap. right now Iran is the safest country in the world from the bombs of USA, UK, Israel, Russia and China.
Any other country in the world has more of a chance to be attacked then Iran. You don't believe me? Well, for the last 30 years USA, Israel and UK have been at odds with Iran and constantly saying they are about to bomb Iran, Yet 30 years have gone by and Iran has withstood all odds.
Now anyone who has ever been to a casino would know that if you start watching the black and red, then 30 times in a row the ball falls on black, then your next bet would be on black and not red. It simply means that the odds have been beaten and the wheels has been rigged in favour of Black.
Iran is such country. With their clever and calculated actions they have changed the odds to their favour and now there is no way that an attack on Iran is possible. The only way for that to happen is a ww3 with all nations involved.
Think about this? If USA could have attacked Iran, they would have done it by now.

CFR Warns Of False Flag Attack To Ignite Iran War
Echoing Brzezinski's veiled threat, but absurdly pins potential blame on "Al-Qaeda"

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Wednesday, May 2, 2007

The CFR has echoed the warning of Zbigniew Brzezinski in claiming that a possible false flag terror attack blamed on Iran could be used to ignite a war, but absurdly pins the potential blame on "Al-Qaeda" and not the most likely perpetrators - the military-industrial complex that owns and controls the United States government.

The CFR along with the Trilateral Commission hold the real strings of power in the United States and act on policy decided upon by the big brother of multinational semi-secret steering societies, the Bilderberg Group.

In an article for the May/June issue of the Council on Foreign Relations' Foreign Affairs periodical entitled Al Qaeda Strikes Back, CFR member and 29-year CIA operative Bruce Riedel writes,

"The biggest danger is that al Qaeda will deliberately provoke a war with a "false-flag" operation, say, a terrorist attack carried out in a way that would make it appear as though it were Iran's doing. The United States should be extremely wary of such deception. In the event of an attack, accurately assigning blame will require very careful intelligence work. It may require months, or even years, of patient investigating to identify the plotters behind well-planned and well-executed operations, as it did for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and the 1996 attacks on the U.S. barracks at the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia. Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton were wise to be patient in both those cases; Washington would be well advised to do the same in the event of a similar attack in the future. In the meantime, it should, of course, continue do its utmost to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and from fomenting violence and terrorism in the Middle East by using tough diplomacy and targeted sanctions. And it should not consider a military operation against Iran, as doing so would only strengthen al Qaeda's hand -- much as the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq have."

Any debate as to who the perpetrators of the attack will be is moot, because Dick Cheney's USSTRATCOM contingency plan calls for attacking Iran in the immediate aftermath of a 'second 9/11' - no matter who is behind it - which of course is going to be the cabal Dick Cheney fronts for itself and the same pack of murderers that are actively seeking to initiate global ethic cleansing and genocide to bring about world war three.

There will be no "careful intelligence work" to determine the perpetrators of the attack, because the official story will be pre-packaged and disseminated in the hours after the event as it was on 9/11, with patsies perfectly framed and military strike plans readied.

Since there is no actual organization called Al-Qaeda - the name was invented by the U.S. government in January 2001 to enable Bin Laden to be prosecuted in his absence - who has the motive for launching an attack that would justify the immediate employment of war plans that were finalized months ago?

In February, former National Security Advisor and founding member of the Trilateral Commission Zbigniew Brzezinski tacitly warned a Senate Foreign Relations Committee that an attack on Iran could be launched following a staged provocation in Iraq or a false flag terror attack within the U.S.

Brzezinski alluded to the potential for the Bush administration to manufacture a false flag Gulf of Tonkin type incident in describing a "plausible scenario for a military collision with Iran," which would revolve around "some provocation in Iraq or a terrorist act in the US blamed on Iran, culminating in a ‘defensive’ US military action against Iran that plunges a lonely America into a spreading and deepening quagmire eventually ranging across Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.”

So it could be an Israeli attack on America, say using one of their German boats with US made tomahawks firing a nuke 3 1/2 mile out from D.C. and Iran would still get the blame.

How much warning time is there anyways at 600+mph to travel 3 1/2 miles?

Well well well.

I would not doubt that Iran is mere weeks away from detonationing a nuclear bomb test.

If Iran gets the bomb... well, Israel is pretty much finished as a nation.

Any military strategist worth his salt will tell you that Israel must take out Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities right away.
Surgical strike. It's not a question of IF but when. The big $1,000,000 question will be how Iran responds to a surgical strike.


Many military analysts say that round 2 of last year's Hizballah/Israel war is about to start. However, round 2 will be fought on 2 fronts this time and possibly 3 fronts and if that happens then most likely 4 fronts:

1st front: North/Northwest- Hizballah
2nd front: South/Southwest- Hamas
3rd front: North/Northeast- Syria
4th front: East- Iran

If the war goes to 3 fronts I would not doubt things go nuclear right away, as that's about the only way to defeat Syria.
War with Iran will invlove nukes for sure.
