Israel denies it plans to attack Iran


Israel is denying a report in a British newspaper that it plans to attack Iran. But Israel has not ruled out a military strike.

Israel reacted swiftly to a report in London's Sunday Times that it plans a combined air and ground attack on Iran in March, if Teheran does not halt its nuclear program.

"This is ridiculous. I do not know of any decision. I think it is entirely baseless," said Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

But Mr. Olmert told reporters that there is cause for concern.

"It is true that Israel is entirely, entirely unhappy about the developments with Iran," he said.

3. "... denying ... it plans to attack Iran.

But Israel has not ruled out a military strike."

Well, that proves there's no plan to attack Iran!

Even though Israel is "unhappy about the developments with Iran".

5. Anyone else think this is yet another good reason to get the f**k out

of that region? I don't want 150K+ of our troops anywhere near the next nuclear strike. Let us never forget that Isreal is a card carrying member of the nuclear bully club.

6. Israel's survival depends on nukular (bush speak) superiority

over the hostile muslim neighbors who outnumber the
jews in Israel by 50:1.

8. Now why in the world would Israel's neighbor's be hostile towards her?

Couldn't be the 200+ nukes pointed at them, could it? Couldn't be the little "oops" airspace invasions that keep happening over and over again in various neighboring countries, couldn't be the ongoing slaughter of Palesrtinians at a rate of 20:1 (Palestinians to Israelis).

9. Do you really want to know - read some history instead of blogs

1.

2. - Loss of hegeomy over Iberia and the Inquisition.

3. - anger at the West and Israel - at being screwed out of the lands and oil by France and England.

4. still more anger at the West and Israel - at being screwed out of the lands and oil by France and England.

5. - especially tryt to analogize the House of Saud to the Romanovs, and their wasting of the Arab proletariat's oilwelth birthright on bordellos, casinos, resorts, race horses, etc. You may also want to look at

6. The Nazi's politicing of the Grand Mufti.

7. The Cold War - where Israel was alternately a Socviet proxy and a Western Proxy.

Get away from blogs to a real university library.
