Israel to attack Iran in March 2006
This is just the weirdest thing,

I saw this article and was astounded by it so I quickly sent it to 3 friends,
My sent items folder did not record it as sent, so I sent it off again with still the same thing. So I quickly went to post it on DU and now the article is nowhere to be found.

Anyone else see it?

Ynetnews



Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has instructed the IDF to prepare for the possibility of a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities by the end of March 2006, the Sunday Times reported.




According to the British newspaper said that the order was relayed to the army after intelligence officials warned the government that Iran has already activated uranium enrichment facilities hidden at civilian locations.

2. Not a good thing if they do attack...
Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 09:34 AM by HypnoToad
Let Israel attack. Everyone up to their great grandmothers knows Israel is a spineless puppet of the United States.

So if Israel attacks, they will be attacked in return - with us kept in mind for Round 2.

5. If not Israel, then the US would have gone in in March 2006.
If this is a true article, then I would assume that this was the natural next step for the PNAC when they originally attacked Iraq without cause. Now that Israel sees that America isn't going forward with the plans, because Americans are growing more certain that impeaching the clown in office is vital to our survival, well, Israel will take the next step. Invade Iran.

And I'm sorry to tell you, but they're not going to finish alone what they began. We're going to get dragged into this thing. Mark my words.

IT's TIME TO IMPEACH BUSH AND GET RID OF HIS CABINET SO AMERICANS CAN BE MASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINY.

6. Not that I would ever defend Isreal...
but the few times they have been attacked (by Egypt, Syria) they handled themselves pretty well. Puppets, yes. Spineless, no.

3. Sharon's office is denying the report
Gov't Officials Deny Plan to Strike Iran
10:36 Dec 11, '05 / 10 Kislev 5766


The Sunday Times in London reports that Prime Minister Sharon is preparing for a possible strike on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran. Israeli officials deny.

Quoting unnamed military sources, the report states that Israeli intelligence warned its government that Iran was operating small enrichment facilities concealed in civilian locations. The Times says that Sharon has ordered the military to prepare for a possible strike by the end of March.

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and sources in Sharon's office deny the Times report. "Israel is dealing with the Iranian issue only with diplomatic tools," Shalom said. Sharon staffers said the paper's report is totally untrue.

It is known that Iran will be able to build a nuclear warhead 2-4 year after it receives the technical expertise to enrich sufficient quantities of uranium - known as the "point of no return." No country will be able to bomb the reactor once this point is reached, for fear that the radioactive fallout will harm an unknown number of thousands of civilians.

8. Could Iran's "Oil Bourse" be a factor?
I wonder if Iran is still planning to launch a euro-based oil exchange in March 2006.

That would be some odd timing.
