As It Is Now Ready And Eager To Bomb Iran, Israel Worries About Obama
The Israeli military is preparing itself to launch a massive aerial assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities within days of being given the go-ahead by its new government.
Among the steps taken to ready Israeli forces for what would be a risky raid requiring pinpoint aerial strikes are the acquisition of three Airborne Warning and Control (AWAC) aircraft and regional missions to simulate the attack.
Two nationwide civil defence drills will help to prepare the public for the retaliation that Israel could face.
“Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours. They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words,” one senior defence official told The Times.
Officials believe that Israel could be required to hit more than a dozen targets, including moving convoys. The sites include Natanz, where thousands of centrifuges produce enriched uranium; Esfahan, where 250 tonnes of gas is stored in tunnels; and Arak, where a heavy water reactor produces plutonium.
The distance from Israel to at least one of the sites is more than 870 miles, a distance that the Israeli force practised covering in a training exercise last year that involved F15 and F16 jets, helicopters and refuelling tankers.
The possible Israeli strike on Iran has drawn comparisons to its attack on the Osirak nuclear facility near Baghdad in 1981. That strike, which destroyed the facility in under 100 seconds, was completed without Israeli losses and checked Iraqi ambitions for a nuclear weapons programme.
“We would not make the threat [against Iran] without the force to back it. There has been a recent move, a number of on-the-ground preparations, that indicate Israel’s willingness to act,” said another official from Israel’s intelligence community.
He added that it was unlikely that Israel would carry out the attack without receiving at least tacit approval from America, which has struck a more reconciliatory tone in dealing with Iran under its new administration.
An Israeli attack on Iran would entail flying over Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, where US forces have a strong presence.
Ephraim Kam, the deputy director of the Institute for National Security Studies, said it was unlikely that the Americans would approve an attack.
“The American defence establishment is unsure that the operation will be successful. And the results of the operation would only delay Iran’s programme by two to four years,” he said.
A visit by President Obama to Israel in June is expected to coincide with the national elections in Iran — timing that would allow the US Administration to re-evaluate diplomatic resolutions with Iran before hearing the Israeli position.
“Many of the leaks or statements made by Israeli leaders and military commanders are meant for deterrence. The message is that if [the international community] is unable to solve the problem they need to take into account that we will solve it our way,” Mr Kam said.
Among recent preparations by the airforce was the Israeli attack of a weapons convoy in Sudan bound for militants in the Gaza Strip.
“Sudan was practice for the Israeli forces on a long-range attack,” Ronen Bergman, the author of The Secret War with Iran, said. “They wanted to see how they handled the transfer of information, hitting a moving target … In that sense it was a rehearsal.”
Israel has made public its intention to hold the largest-ever nationwide drill next month.
Colonel Hilik Sofer told Haaretz, a daily Israeli newspaper, that the drill would “train for a reality in which during war missiles can fall on any part of the country without warning … We want the citizens to understand that war can happen tomorrow morning”.
Israel will conduct an exercise with US forces to test the ability of Arrow, its US-funded missile defence system. The exercise would test whether the system could intercept missiles launched at Israel.
“Israel has made it clear that it will not tolerate the threat of a nuclear Iran. According to Israeli Intelligence they will have the bomb within two years … Once they have a bomb it will be too late, and Israel will have no choice to strike — with or without America,” an official from the Israeli Defence Ministry said.

if israel goes after iran… would odumba order a military defense of iran???? would our generals obey those orders and kill israelis???? the moron in iran just may push the israeli button to do that…
Any solder that kills American or Israels is in no way an American. That would most certainly be the absolute last straw, we would all be at war. Hell and Heaven would fill up fast. Gods blessing is far more desirable then His wrath.
Armando nailed it.
My belief is Yes, “Obama” would order a strike on Israel
in defense of Iran.
The 64 trillion dollar question is whether Israel would
then order a retaliatory strike on DC.
I don’t know the answer to that one, but,
I am sure it is being thought about, right now.
“It was dark of the moon on the sixth of June, in a Kenworth haulin logs, a cab-over Pete with a refer on, and Jimmy haulin hogs. We were headed fo Bear on I One O, bout a mile out of Shaky Town, when I called all the trucks and said, ‘This here’s the Duck, and I’m bout to put the hammer down’…”
Well…it’s time for the hammer! I hope Israel puts it to Iran…and does so very soon.
“Shema Israel Yahwey, Elohim achad Yahwey”
The fact that “an Israeli attack on Iran would entail flying over Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, where US forces have a strong presence” makes for an interesting dilemma.
If Obami denies Israel authority to use this airspace, will U.S. pilots obey this order to deter Israel? Or will they disobey the order and let Israel fly over U.S. controlled airspace?
If this situation arises, I hope the later occurs. I feel as if the U.S. Military is on a path to dissent from the Obami Administration and this could be the scenario to facilitate that.
I never thought I’d see the day when American officials and military chiefs weren’t huddled around a table in Tel Aviv laying this out WITH Israel - I’ve said it many time - there isn’t a single country on the face of the Earth that would bitch one bit about the Iranians being eliminated from the planet.
Yet we have a commander-in-chief now who sides with evil and turns his back on good.
I have supremem faith in the Israelis but without U.S. support of this operation, it will be one nasty muther.
And as we speak obongo is chuming it up with Chavez.
BO seems more comfortable with our evil enemys than he does with our alliances.
Isreal has every reason to be concerned and for the first time in my life I am ashamed of my country, BUT I still have hope that the patriots of this great land will stand up and do whats right.
I do not have confidence that BO would stand behind Isreal at all in fact I think he would find a way to deamonize them and the media would manipulate the news to support him as they have been already.
This is all so screwed up, I hope Isreal takes matters in their own hands as the hope for the world is now in their hands.
BO has to go!
I’m not one of those “The End is Near” freaks but I can’t help but sense shades of “End Times” prophecy in the current events that are playing out right now.
I’m not ashamed of America, Barrack Hussein Obama is not an American! He was raised in a Foreign Country and after the whore who gave birth to him abandoned him with his communist Grandparents. Like his wife he hates America. He fooled 30% of America who has become superficial and voted for him. 30% of his supporters are full blown Marxist, who will distroy this Country. They are aided by the dedicated Marxist in the media. I for one was never fooled andd warned all I could. Don’t be ashamed, I’m still proud to say I’m an American. I say to the French Spreken zie Deutsch? No? Your welcome!
As far as Isreal hitting Iran, it will be hell, What will be will be. I wish the IDF the best!
I am and will ALWAYS be proud to be an American, I am just disgusted by all the douch bags who voted for this clown. The information is out there and people did not do their research before making their vote. Im disgusted that people watch the MSM and take it as truth. Im dissgusted at how short peoples memory is and their willingness to overlook the double standards in the pop culture. I cant believe the amount of Jews and evangelical christians who voted for this infanticide asshole. People who are too lazy to think for themselves and think politicians will do it for them, too lazy to study our founding documents and founders intent, who allow themselves to be brainwashed without critical thinking for themselves.
America is great and beautiful because of the Patriots who made her and thats where I hold my ‘hope and change’ for the future. As I said before it will be the patriots who will stand up and make things right to restore our country to be the beacon of light for freedom.
I am not one to think these are the end times but agree we are starting to see glimpses of prophecy in the news. One major sign to look for is peace between Isreal and the middle east and I do not see that coming anytime in the near future.
sassysuz, americans voted for him
Obama is just finishing what Carter started. The US administration also announced cutting funds to Israel for the Arrow defense. Well done, you filthy disgusting enemy-within liberals.
Israel do what you want, I do not care
Do what you have to do Israel. Our hosed government may not support you, but there are MILLIONS of Americans who do.
Do what you have to do. Do not let this president present hold you hostage to a two state solution.
Go bravely!
Those were my thoughts exactly after reading mindy
When will we call out all the traders in this country and put there asses on trial. I hope I’ll be picked for the jury because I don’t need any more evadence. They are guildy and they should be hung or die by firing squid within 24 hours. I’ll pull the triger or the lever.
hey hey hey…don’t you all be so quick on the fucken trigger…don’t forget, there are ALOT of us TRUE AMERICANS next door to those shit bags…ahh fuck it, I will start building the glass factory now to sell glass gathered in Iran…that should help fund our Tea Parties and ACTIVE! =)
-aTb
And fund our big, ugly, gas guzzlin’ SUV’s!
“True Americans” is right. Be safe!
Israel is the promised land, and God protects the people who supports Israel.
God punishes those who would go against Israel.
In a weird way, I hope obozo and the rest of them do go against Israel, because God will wrath his fury amongst them.
We shall be the Remnant from this battle.
Israel has been protected from many oppressors, and they will be protected again this time.
God Bless Israel, and God Bless the USA!
AMEN BROTHER SCOOT.
My fellow American Jews have been stripped of their religion and are now following Rashid Kalidi’s man. They have unknowingly joined the Trinity Church of Jerimiah Wright. Thank you Jon (Lebowitz)Stewart and Oprah et al.
Safe mission to the Israelis. God Bless them and the DN.
O-bomb-us: Go ahead fuckstick, try to stop the Israelis.
there are many here next door that would love to lay some hate down on those iranian fucksticks and the anti americans….I don’t see anyone here willing to protect those that are anti american…those are the motherfuckers that funded and trained, and supplied the insurgents that have killed so many of our fellow Soldiers, Marines, Navy men and women!!!!!! so fuck those ass clowns and fuck the usurper who is supporting, bowing to, and shaking hands with our enemies!!!
-aTb
For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen:as thou has done[to Israel],it shall be done unto thee:thy reward shall return upon thine own head.(Obadiah1:15)Lets hope our FRAUD in chief read this while he was in jeremiah wrights church…..Yea right.
The course that the usurper is on is creating a situation that as a God fearing Spirit filled follower of Jesus. I must fight for his names sake. If you see some thing that needs to be done and don’t do it, its sin.

I wonder who Israel wishes was in the White House.
McCain and Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but since the electorates are paid off and the media is in the communist pocket, we, as a people, will NEVER know the true numbers who voted for who!
-aTb
Unlike the current POTUS, Israel bows down to no Islamo-fascist.
True. If that thing in the White House abandons Israel, our country will explode in a war within at the very least.
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Ge. 12:3
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. Zec. 2:8
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Is. 54:17
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. Jer. 30:16
Just who exactly does Obama think he is messing around with?
Wouldn’t it suffice to put a laser guided bomb down Amindadeh’s throat?
He’s just a representative. The real power in Iran is in the Mullahs. If Ahmadingdong is taken out, the Mullahs will just replace him with one just like him, or worse.
I belive that israel will take a swath of land in irac , in which they can work from, propibly out in the desert somewhere, east of bagdad, 200 to, 400 miles . so i say good luck to them and happy hunting.
plenty of it in the Al Anbar province!!!
they can have that piece for all they need…..just have to keep the locals ignorant of them…and everything would be fine.

With all the shit going on around me in the world, I sometimes wonder if I’m not in some sort of Truman Show.
This makes me think of Nostradamus’ prediction of the end of the world. The eagle wins, but at a price.
