Rehmat's World
June 14, 2010 ·
Professor Virginia Tilley, almost four years ago wrote that US generals are rightly alarmed that bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities would unleash unprecedented attacks on US occupation forces in Iraq, as well as American military bases in in the Gulf. “Iran could block the Straits of Hormuz, which carries 40 percent of world’s oil. Spin-off terrorist (resistance) militancy would skyrocket. The potential damage to international security and world economy would be unfathomably dangerous.
The Bush administration’s neocons (mostly Jews) seem capable of any insanity, so none of this matter to them. But even the neocons must be taking pause since Israel failed to knock out Hizbullah (during 34-day war in 2006) using the same onslaught from air planned for Iran. But Israel can attack Iran, and this may be the plan.
Teaming up, the two countries could compensate for each others’ strategic limitations.
The US has been contributing its superpower clout in the Security Council, setting the stage for sanctions, knowing Iran will not yield on its enrichment program. Having cultivated a (mistaken) international belief that Iran is threatening a direct attack on Israel, the Israeli government could then claim the right of self-defense in taking unilateral pre-emptive action to destroy the nuclear capacity of a state declared in breach of UN directives. Direct retaliations against Israel are impossible because Israel is a nuclear power (an Iran is not) and because of the US security umbrella would protect Israel…..”
After four years, Barack Obama is running on the same track – let the US interests in the Middle East go to hell and who cares for the tens of thousands of Americans sacrificed in that process for Israel.
Addressing the fifth Turkish-Arab Economic Forum (June 10-11), Turkish Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkey’s NO vote at UNSC against new sanctions on Islamic Republic was a matter of honor for the Turkish people: “If we had not said NO, it would have been self denial. It would have been a lack of self respect”.
Former Senator from Alaska, Maurice Robert (Mike) Gravel (1969-81) in an interview he gave to the Philadelphia Jewish Voice in 2007, during his bid for Democrat nomination for the 2008 presidential election – said that “he will use whatever political capital he need to disburse to bring peace about”. His plan, as he explained, was to draft a peace agreement based on 1967 borders with the help of Russia, China, EU and other regional powers with interests in that part of the world. The leaders of Israel and PA would not be asked to accept this proposal but it would be put to plebiscite among the Israelis and Palestinian and let them decide their future.
Answeing the question: “You criticized Senator Obama for not taking military option off the table regarding Iran. what should Israel do if Iran looks like it has or will acquire a nuclear weapon?” – Mike Gravel replied: “Should do nothing. Should do nothing. My God, it’s none of their business if Iran has a nuclear weapon….Scientists tell us that they would not have it for five to ten years. But they’re so affraid of us, with our stupid statements about axis of evil”. For such ‘political wrong’ views, Mike was never invited by AIPAC and did not receive support from Jewish groups.
In May, 2010 – Mike Gravel lauded Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s statement in Damascus that Hamas must be included in the peace process. He said that “the US cannot play the role of an honest broker because of the Jewish influence in America”.
After the UNSC passed the Israeli crippling sanction against Islamic Republic last week – Mike Gravel in interview with Press TV, said that the US inciting conflict to trigger war. “The Security Council is the mouth piece of the United States of America and it is being misled and it is an embarrassment to what they are doing to the United Nations which offer so much potential for peace in the world. Article 4 of the NPT; any country who is signatory to this has the right to enriched uranium and that is all that Iran is doing right now; enriching uranium. Now, there is no evidence that they are going for a bomb. Nobody has put forth any evidence other than irresponsible statements by Israel and some American military leaders. But there is no proof and they say they are not going for a bomb, so they are doing no more than they have a right to do under Article 4 of the Non Proliferation agreement. And we are not living up that agreement by inciting conflict and by using the UN and the Security Council to try to push Iran to make some silly mistake that could trigger our response. This is very serious because in fact I think it is irresponsible on the part of the United States to go ahead and agree to something and then pull away from it when the clenched fist of Iran is unclenched and we clench our fist….. Iran is a natural ally of the United States because Iran has not gone to war in 250 years or attacked anybody. They are not a threat to anybody, they are concerned about their own self defense, and they should be. For example, what we did in Iraq, with out provocation and now with the threats that we make with Iran, and now with the sanctions manipulating the world community, not all of it, but a portion of it, at least in the Security Council to go against Iran. Well, Iran may feel a bite from the sanctions but let me tell you, this is a world of economics involved and there are a lot of other sources, particularly China and Russia, and regardless of what they said in the Security Council, they will continue to trade with Iran”.
According to an American defense source - the Saudi ‘royals’ have agreed to jam their raddar system (operated by Americans) in order to let the Israeli bombers use Saudi space to bomb military and civilian targets inside Iran. Recently, Saudis conducted a test to make sure that their own F16s don’t intercept Israeli bombers and once the Zionazis has turned some Iranian cities look like 2006 Lebanon – the Saudi air defense system will return to full alert.
The Wall Street Journal (Israel Hasbara Committee organ), on April 21, 2010, published 5-illustrations, showing ‘plus and minis’ of Israel’s solo attack on the Islamic Republic: “Israel needs to target Iran’s four nuclear facilities – Qom, Arak, Natanz and Bushehr. Israel’s medium range missile Jericho II cannot reach those targets if it uses Iraqi airspace. However, with Washington donated F15 and F16 aircraft, Israel could strike far-away targets and penetrate some underground facilities with ‘bunker busters’. For this Israeli pilots need “raddar-jamming” to save their Jewish skins. Pity, Jew settlers living on Arab stolen lands are within the range of missiles “Jew-hater” Hamas, Hizbullah and Syrian. However, the good news is – The 357th Air Defense Brigade, based in Germany, has detachment of some 200 US soldiers permanently deployed in Southern Israel to man an advanced raddar system, the TPY-2, expected to increase the range at which Israel can detect and ultimately intercept Iranian missiles”. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
