Israel and Iran Sitting in a Tree

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G"

The old American song meant to needle grade-school boys noticing girls for the first time.


This is a MUCH MORE SERIOUS MATTER!


"Israeli, Iranian envoys attend nuclear forum; But both sides deny private meetings held" by Isabel Kershner, New York Times | October 23, 2009

JERUSALEM - The gathering was held behind closed doors, but details emerged last week in the Australian newspaper The Age....

What good are you, AmeriKan MSM?

The website of the Israeli newspaper Haaretz yesterday published more details of the meeting.... The timing of the Cairo meeting may have added significance, however, with the growing concern both in Israel and internationally over Iran’s nuclear program and a sense in Israel that time to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons may be running out.

Whadda ya mean JUST JOKING?!!!!

"IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi told his French counterpart Jean-Louis Georgelin that Israel is not planning to bomb Iran, but may send elite troops to conduct activities on the ground there. These, according to the magazine, could involve sabotage of nuclear facilities as well as assassinations of top Iranian nuclear scientists.... --more--"

You now, the thing the paper accuses "terrorists" of doing!!!!

Iran is openly and vehemently hostile to Israel, but insists that its nuclear program is intended for civilian purposes only.

Excuse me, WHO is HOSTILE? WHO is ASSASSINATING the others scientists?

Israel is believed to have a large nuclear arsenal but maintains a policy of nuclear ambiguity, neither confirming nor denying its status as a nuclear power....

Oh, so WHO is DEFYING the UN?

1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.

2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.

3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.

4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.

5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.

6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.

7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.

8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.

9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.

10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.

We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.

Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.

Please forward this comment to your social networks" -- Wake the Flock Up

One former Israeli official with intimate knowledge of the nuclear issue said that it was better to have the fuel shipped out than left in Iran, but that there may be more nuclear fuel reserves than the West knows about in covert facilities in Iran.

Well, YOU GUYS LIED about IRAQ and their "nooklar weapons" so you can FLUSH WHATEVER the WAR-MONGERING ISRAELIS SAY right down the ol' toilet where it belongs!!!!

"[The White House Feigns ignorance of some CIA programs, in order to maintain its deniability. There has never been even one anti-Iranian operation anywhere that was not controlled or monitored by the CIA. Even if it was true that the Jundullah outfit that attacked in Iran was really not a Pakistani group, even though it was based in S. Waziristan, the CIA knew of their actions and aims beforehand and chose to let them happen, just the way they "let 911 happen." Every Sunni terrorist outfit, especially all those described as being "al Qaida related" are CIA sponsored, using Saudi money, under ISI direction, facilitated by the Mossad.]

Is that why the MSM DROPPED ITS REPORTING of that event?

I mean,
BALLOON BOY makes it EVERY DAY!

So WHAT is NEXT for IRAN?

"Obama's Delay, or Why Israel Might Nuke Iran

So the generals are brewing, and the veterans are getting restive. Nine months after Obama’s inauguration, according to the Times,
the military establishment is beginning to lose its patience with a president who has yet to commit to a coherent plan for Afghanistan.... while more recently it’s been a rare day that the editorial pages of the Washington Post, the New York Times or the LA Times have failed to roll out yet another version of What To Do.

There’s no knowing for sure, but I doubt it’s simply a matter of cold feet. More likely it has to do with the game of nuclear chicken currently being played by Israel and Iran.... I think it’s fairly clear that Obama’s hesitation on Afghanistan has less to do with the country itself and far more to do with the uncertainty surrounding its regional context.

Already we have
John Bolton pushing for an Israeli nuclear strike on Iran, Israel leaking its knowledge of Russian nuclear scientists working in Iran, Secretary Clinton making bizarre trips to Russia, and, not least, exactly the kind of mid-level Pentagon chatter you’d expect to see if something were in the offing.

Hopefully I’m wrong. But something is clearly brewing, and I fear the stakes are far higher than losing Kandahar or Helmand...."

Update: Iran delays response to nuclear enrichment proposal

Yeah, they actually wanted to READ IT first.
