What the American media isn't telling you about Iran

Do you feel like the lone masturbator at a sex orgy with this post??? It's a super post & informative but all eyes R on Iowa at current, even Iran's. Iran's interest is on the next POTUS as is the entire world. The middle east will eventually get the nuclear treatment as islam is on it's way out globally. People just don't have the time or patience to screw around with cults anymore, as Mitt Romney has found out.
On a brighter side...

Silence of the sheeple
 
I am also wondering why there is an insistent persuasion toward our forces being over there for nuclear weaponry. There are obvious other reasons and it's almost embarrassing to me that the only discussions about war is focused on nuclear discovery and nothing more. It's like our people are being duped... willingly!
 
Too little, too late on sanctions...

Iranian Nuclear Program Complete, Missiles Can Reach US
February 2, 2012, Iran has completed the development of a nuclear weapon and awaits nothing more than a sign from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to start assembling its first nuclear bomb, said Israeli Military Intelligence Chief Major General Aviv Kochavi on Thursday, February 2.
Assembling a bomb would take up to a year, Kochavi estimated. With 100 kilograms of uranium enriched to 20 percent grade and another 4 tons of uranium enriched to 3.5 percent already in stock, Iran would need another two years to make four nuclear bombs. Therefore, by the end of 2012 or early 2013 Iran may have a single nuclear bomb, but by 2015 the figure would jump to four or five. The officer was essentially amplifying the words of his predecessor, Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, who said on Jan. 26 that as long ago as 2007 or 2008, Iran had already passed the point of no return in developing nuclear weapons. Kochavi agreed with him that none of the sanctions imposed thus far had persuaded Iran to slow down, least of all shut down, its drive for a nuclear weapon. His comments coincided with the findings published Thursday by the Enterprise Institute, an American think tank, that Iran would be able to manufacture a 15-kiloton nuclear bomb as soon as August of this year, just seven months from now.

Also Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon disclosed that the big blast at the Iranian missile base near Tehran last November blew up a new missile system with a range of 10,000 kilometers, capable of targeting the United States. Commenting on Iran's underground bunkers for nuclear facilities, the minister stressed that any facility built by man can be destroyed by man. "Speaking as a former chief of staff, I say none of Iran's installations are immune to attack," he said. Major General Kochavi went on to say that if Iran had attained a nuclear capability, this meant that the US and Israel had failed to pre-empt this outcome.

Turning to another threat, the military intelligence chief painted a grim picture of 200,000 rockets and missiles of assorted types pointing at Israel. Wednesday, February 1, Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz stressed that there is no longer any point on the Israeli map that is outside the range of enemy missiles. According to Gen. Kochavi, Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas are dispersing their missiles and rockets to sites deep inland and integrated in urban environments to minimize their vulnerability to IDF attack. He warned "the enemy" had prepared increasing numbers of its missiles for "depth strikes against Israeli population centers, their warheads more lethal than ever." "Every tenth residential house in Lebanon," he said, "harbors a missile arsenal or launching position. Their sheer volume has reached a strategic dimension with which Israel will have to deal."

Israel's military leaders warn against Iran attack over fears of war in Mid-East
Thursday 2nd February, 2012 - Former Israeli Defence Chief Lt-Gen Amnon Lipkin-Shahak has warned against a strike on Iran, insisting that almost the entire senior hierarchy of Israel's military and security establishment is worried about a premature attack on Tehran over fears that it could lead the Middle East into a war.
Lt-Gen Shahak, who is close to Defence Minister Ehud Barak, warned that an assault may lead to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad benefiting from popular anger against foreign aggression, The Independent reports. "It is quite clear that much if not all of the IDF [Israeli Defence Forces] leadership do not support military action at this point," he said. The risks of military action underlined by the former commander show the apparent divisions within the establishment over the best way to combat Iran's nuclear programme.

Lt-Gen Shahak stressed he had no idea what decision the security cabinet would reach. He said the current Chief of General Staff (CGS), Lt-Gen Benny Gantz, and Mr Dagan's successor at Mossad, Tamir Pardo, would offer advice. "We have to remember that the CGS and the head of Mossad are there to serve the State of Israel, they are not party political. They will no doubt offer judgement and advice on what is best for Israel. In the past the advice of the head of the IDF and the head of Mossad had led to military action being stopped," he said.

Sanctions on Iran imposed by the EU and the US, including an oil embargo, were stronger than many people had expected, said Lt-Gen Lipkin-Shahak. "They are already having some impact on the Iranians on the street, they are worried. They may feel that it is the actions of the [Iranian] government, which has created this situation. So one would think it would be worth seeing what impact the sanctions have before taking the next step," Lt-Gen Shahak added.

It was reported earlier in the day that an elite unit of Israeli commandos called the 'Depth Corps' had been secretly created to stop Iran's nuclear weapons programme. Mossad hit squads had already carried out assassinations on key Iranian scientists, and now, the Depth Corps has been sent deep inside Iran to prepare an all-out strike against its nuclear programme. Insisting that Israel fears Ahmadinejad could order the facilities to be buried hundreds of feet underground out of reach of air strikes, a senior source in Tel Aviv warned: "We will reach the point where Iran gets delivery systems to fire weapons of mass destruction. The time to act is now."

Until there is actually a mass attack with tens of thousands of casualties, we have no business taking Iran seriously.
