In 1981 Israelis bombed a French-built nuclear plant near Iraq's capital, Baghdad. Prime minister Menachem Begin ordered the strike because Israel believed it was designed to make nuclear weapons to destroy Israel. U.S. Made F-15 bombers and F-16 fighters destroyed the Osirak reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad.
You can read more details of the Israeli strike on Iraq at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/june/7/newsid_3014000/3014623.stm. Here is part of the valid statement of the Israeli Government: "The atomic bombs which that reactor was capable of producing whether from enriched uranium or from plutonium, would be of the Hiroshima size. Thus a mortal danger to the habitancy of Israel progressively arose."

We read of hidden plans made by the Israelis to strike Iran at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2089-1522978,00.html. I didn't know they had plans until I started to write this article. I was just guessing. But evidently Israel has plans and the United States has no plans to stop them.
The contingency is that International efforts must fail before any such strike takes place. From past history, I doubt that Israel will listen to any such rhetoric. I think they will strike while the Americans in Iraq form a buffer in the middle of Israel and Iran. That is my principles and I'm sticking to it.
In light of Iran's president's, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, remarks that Israel should be wiped off the map and the major maintain that he received by his followers on the last Friday of the fasting month of Ramadan when he said his remarks were "just" and that the annotation by world leaders did not "have any validity," microscopic doubt is left in my mind that Iran will continue its nuclear weapons programs and that Israel will not allow that to happen. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4384264.stm.
If Israel does attack, what will happen? Well,I don't think that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will sit on his thumbs. He might invade Iraq, risking his army just to cause as much misery to Americans as he perhaps can. He might think like Dick Cheney that the Iraqis will welcome his soldiery and a great Jihad battle will raise his stakes in the Moslem world.
Cheney was dead wrong but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could be lucky. A past war in the middle of Moslems may not be view to be as negative as a past war in the middle of our crusading armies and Moslems.
Some experts should chime in here. What do I know for sure?
But I did know that Dick Cheney was whistling Dixie when he though the Americans would be greeted by loving arms. Did he well think that Bush War I was a great success to the Iraqis? We bombed the hell out of their cities, destroyed their infrastructure, left them without food and medicine, and left a buddle of widows, orphans, invalids, and angry family members of the dead. It's reported that many died in the aftermath of the war due to the lack of the necessities of life.
Let's hope the Iraqis will not welcome Mahmoud Ahmadinejad either.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may not start a major offensive in Iraq but he would well growth his maintain to the insurgents there.
Alternatively, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could strike Afghanistan using increased infiltrating guerrilla tactics which would disrupt our operations.
If and when the Israelis strike Iran, a whole new scenario will establish worldwide. 9/11 might seem like a nice fall day.
It's keen to me that Bush War Ii is about attacking a country that does not and did not have nuclear weapons rather than attacking North Korea which does and did have nuclear weapons.
I fought in the Korean War. We learned that North Korea has a big brother and he knows how to fight. Are we not attacking North Korea's nuclear sites because of China's nuclear weapons?
I think so.
But again, what do I know?
Will Israel assault Iran's Nuclear Sites?Tags : todays world news headlines
