The Obama Doctrine – scorn your friends, reward your enemies – has finally reaped the whirlwind, namely Russia and its pledge to provide Iran with an array of the most advanced “defensive” missiles on earth. This leaves Israel with no choice except to act BEFORE those missiles are deployed. 

Israel must attack to remove those nukes before it’s too late.
If it was difficult to successfully strike Iran’s nuclear facilities today, tomorrow will be near impossible. So the scientific experts tell us.

The S-300 Surface-to-Air Missile System would provide Iran with an impenetrable shield.It’s been explained that the S-300 Surface-to-Air Missile System would provide Iran with an impenetrable shield.

If anything, Russia’s move has clarified the situation. Israel’s duty to defend itself has never been more urgent and an attack scaled to wipe out Iran’s nuclear emplacements would likewise be a favor to any number of Sunni states that tremble from Iran’s Shiite encroachments throughout the Arab world.

Read this for one newsman’s heroic efforts to stop a worldwide caliphate, reminding readers that “The Koran Has Arrived And It Has Come To Devour The Bible.”

Jordan’s King Abdullah II told Fox News’ Bret Baier that somebody better do something, quick, seeing Iran on the prowl throughout the Middle East and beyond:  “You’ve got to connect all these dots together. All these issues are areas of instability,” declared Abdullah in connection to Iran’s heavy footprints throughout the region.
He cited Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan and his own country as being at risk.
Abdullah did not directly call for help from the United States or Israel, but the hint was unmistakable.

On seeking a deal to stop or stall Iran’s nuclear program, America’s infantile negotiators, led by John Kerry were no match for the ayatollahs. These were children bargaining with grown men. The ayatollahs trifled with Obama’s “best and brightest” during the negotiations and scorned them as laughable losers after the negotiations.
The result was no deal at all. Iran gets to keep arming itself with no one to stop it from growing bolder.
Certainly the United States, under Obama, cannot be counted on to come to the rescue. Thus, a vacuum waiting to be filled.

Enter Vladimir Putin, who saw the perfect opening, an opening he’s been waiting for along the decades to replace America as the dominant world power in the Middle East. He can’t be blamed. Russia does what Russia does because it is Russia. But the United States has no excuse for being so lame.

Putin and the ayatollahs must be dancing at finding Obama and Kerry so easily duped, 
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu phoned Putin to voice his displeasure. Apparently Netanyahu was assured that these missiles for Iran are weapons meant only for defense – which is terrible enough since the system could destroy (Israeli) jets trying to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

But as noted in a recent column here, during the Cuban Missile Crisis Putin’s ancestor Nikita Khrushchev gave similar assurances to John F. Kennedy. No worries. Those missiles are only defensive. Until it turned out differently and the United States was ready to go to war – world war! – to get those Soviet arms removed from Cuba, be they defensive or offensive or both.

Israel finds itself in the same perilous spot as regards Iran. There is no choice but to take action now.

Report: US has upgraded 'bunker buster' bomb that could be used should Iran talks fail

• 'US upgrades bomb to thwart Israel strike on Iran'

• 'US successfully tests bunker buster bombs'

• Obama makes case for Iran deal to Congress and Arab l...

Improvement of 'Massive Ordnance Penetrator' was carried out even as nuclear talks with Iran continued, 'Wall Street Journal' reports.

 The Pentagon has been upgrading the biggest bunker-buster bomb in its arsenal even as talks continue over Tehran's nuclear program, readying a weapon that could destroy Iran's facilities if negotiations fail, the Wall Street Journal reported  on Friday.

Work to improve the design, guidance systems and anti-jamming capabilities on the so-called Massive Ordnance Penetrator began before the latest round of negotiations with Iran started.

The most recent test of the 30,000-pound device was in mid-January, the Journal said.

The bomb was created to give US President Barack Obama options for attacking fortified facilities like Iran's Fordow nuclear installation, which is built into a mountain.

As part of the partial nuclear framework agreement reached between world powers and Iran on Thursday, "Iran has agreed to not conduct research and development associated with uranium enrichment at Fordow for 15 years," according to the US fact sheet on the initial deal.

The Journal quoted a US official as saying that, despite the efforts to diplomatically solve concerns over Iran's nuclear program, "The Pentagon continues to be focused on being able to provide military options for Iran if needed.We have not taken our eyes off the ball."

The tentative agreement, after eight days of marathon talks in Switzerland, clears the way for negotiations on a settlement aimed at allaying Western fears that Iran was seeking to build an atomic bomb and in return lift economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The framework is contingent on reaching an agreement by June 30. All sanctions on Iran remain in place until a final deal.

Many details still need to be worked out. Diplomats close to the negotiations said the deal was fragile. It could not be ruled out that the understandings reached could collapse between now and June 30. Experts believe it will be much harder to reach a final deal than it was to agree the framework accord.

The White House has made clear that other contingencies must be in place should nuclear diplomacy break down.

“If you say all options are on the table, you have to have something on the table that’s credible,” the Journal quoted a senior US official as saying.

John Bolton: Bomb Iran Before It Gets the Bomb

Thursday, 26 Mar 2015 02:47 PM

By Sandy Fitzgerald 

There is only one way to block the Iranians from building a nuclear bomb, according to former ambassador John Bolton: Bomb them first.
"The inescapable conclusion is that Iran will not negotiate away its nuclear program," Bolton wrote in an opinion piece for The New York Times on Thursday. "Nor will sanctions block its building a broad and deep weapons infrastructure."

The "inconvenient truth," Bolton insists, is that "only military action like Israel's 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein's Osirak reactor in Iraq or its 2007 destruction of a Syrian reactor, designed and built by North Korea, can accomplish what is required. Time is terribly short, but a strike can still succeed."

Such an attack would not need to destroy Iran's entire nuclear infrastructure, but instead, Bolton said, would break key links in the nuclear fuel cycle and set back Iran's program by at least three to five years.

"Rendering inoperable the Natanz and Fordow uranium-enrichment installations and the Arak heavy-water production facility and reactor would be priorities," said Bolton. "So, too, would be the little-noticed but critical uranium-conversion facility at Isfahan."
The United States could thoroughly destroy the targets, he said, but Israel, acting alone, could also take the necessary steps. He also called for the action to combine with U.S. support for regime change in Iran.

Meanwhile, Bolton said, President Barack Obama's fascination with striking a nuclear deal with Iran could trigger a wave of nuclear programs throughout the Middle East.
"The president's biggest legacy could be a thoroughly nuclear-weaponized Middle East," said Bolton.

Experts have been worried for years that it would happen, said Bolton. As in other cases such as India, Pakistan and North Korea, the West should have been vigilant, he says, "but failing to act in the past is no excuse for making the same mistakes now."

Obama, like his predecessors, inherited the effects of past presidents' decisions, but is responsible for what is happening on his watch, Bolton said, and his "approach on Iran has brought a bad situation to the brink of catastrophe."

Meanwhile, comprehensive international sanctions have crippled Iran somewhat but have not stopped the nuclear program's progress.
"Even absent palpable proof, like a nuclear test, Iran's steady progress toward nuclear weapons has long been evident," said Bolton. "Now, the arms race has begun."
He noted that Saudi Arabia is expected to move first, as "no way would the Sunni Saudis allow the Shiite Persians to outpace them in the quest for dominance."

Analysts believe that Saudi Arabia is able to get nuclear weapons from Pakistan, and Bolton said Egypt or Turkey would not be far behind.
Israel's nuclear capability, though, is mainly seen as a deterrent, not as an offensive measure, and has not brought on an arms race, but Iran is different.

The evidence is mounting that Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey are quickening their pace for nuclear weapons of their own, said Bolton.
"Saudi Arabia has signed nuclear cooperation agreements with South Korea, China, France and Argentina, aiming to build a total of 16 reactors by 2030," said Bolton.

The Saudis have also held recent meetings with leaders from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey, and "nuclear matters were almost certainly on the agenda."
Bolton said that Pakistan could quickly supply weapons, and he warned not to rule out North Korea dealing behind the backs of its Iranian allies "for the right price."

Recently translated Iranian military textbook suggests nuclear EMP attack on UnitedStates power grid

Reblogged from http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/70568

Peaceful purposes. 

By Robert Laurie -- Bio and Archives  March 19, 2015

If you only get your news from watching Obama speeches, you know Iran as the peace loving nation that doesn’t want anything to do with nuclear weapons because using them would be “against their religion.” With that in mind, you’re not worried about Obama’s plan to place them directly on the path to a nuke. Since they’re too pious to ever consider dropping the bomb, why not grant them access?

That’s ludicrous for a whole host of reasons but, nonetheless, it’s exactly the malarkey that the President and his allies have been spewing. Just for fun, let’s pretend they’re right. Iran won’t nuke anyone because that would be “naughty” and they’re nothing if not above board in their international dealings. 

Unfortunately for the President, if one of their recently translated military manuals is correct, they have ways around their pesky religious anxieties. According to the book, an atmospheric detonation that results in a power-grid and network destroying electromagnetic pulse is A-OK.

As the Washington Examiner reports:
The issue of a nuclear EMP attack was raised in the final hours of this week’s elections in Israel when U.S. authority Peter Vincent Pry penned a column for Arutz Sheva warning of Iran’s threat to free nations.

  “Iranian military documents describe such a scenario — including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States,” he wrote.
 
  A knowledgeable source said that the textbook discusses an EMP attack on America in 20 different places.
  Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks, who is leading an effort to protect the U.S. electric grid from an EMP attack, has recently made similar claims based on the document translated by military authorities.

  Once sneered at by critics, recent moves by Iran and North Korea have given credibility to the potential EMP threat from an atmospheric nuclear explosion over the U.S.
We’re sure that any response to the above would employ all the standard tropes that liberals love, so we’ll outline their oh-so-elegant arguments for you:

1. This is just Republican and Zionist fear mongering.
 
2. You’re part of the military industrial complex and you want more war.
 
3. This non-legally-binding unenforceable non-treaty is totally going to get us “something” in return. No we’re not going tell you what that is.
 
4. We’re going to do inspections! Iran always complies with inspections!
 
5. Iran is technologically inferior and “way over there” so constructing and delivering such a device is beyond them.
 
6. Despite that, Iran is probably going to get a bomb anyway. So don’t worry about it.
 
7. You’re an idiot. Shut up.

Not one of these pat answers manages to explain why we should knowingly enter into a “deal” with a terrorist nation that culminates in their acquisition of a weapon they’d love to use against us.

...But if you’re making that point, you’ll be directed to number 7.

"Atomic Iran" foretold Netanyahu´s warning

WASHINGTON – Ten years ago, Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D., published his first WND bestselling book, “Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians,” in which he predicted events unfolding now. 

 “In 2005, when publishers for whom I had written top-selling books turned down my proposal to write a book warning of the dangers Iran’s nuclear program posed, only Joseph Farah and WND had the foresight and courage to publish a book considered at the time to be enormously controversial,” Corsi said.

“Few people 10 years ago wanted to believe Iran’s nuclear program could be a threat not only to Israel, but to the region and the world.” In “Atomic Iran,” Corsi predicted the following:

• Iran would game all nuclear negotiations to gain time, while secretly pursuing a nuclear weapons program, calculating Iranian negotiators were sufficiently skillful to fool the Western nations, including the United States and the United Nations’ International Atomic Agency into believing the lie that the advanced enrichment of uranium was for peaceful purposes that could be monitored successfully amid an agreed-upon schedule of IAEA sanctions.
• Then-Sen. John F. Kerry would lead Democratic Party politicians lured by campaign contributions to enter into a “grand bargain” negotiated with Iran, similar to the nuclear-fuel-for-peaceful-purposes gambit North Korea induced President Jimmy Carter to enter. Corsi predicted the same result, that like North Korea, Iran would utilize all negotiated concessions to advance its clandestine nuclear weapons program.
• Ultimately, the United States would abandon Israel, leaving the Jewish state no alternative but to launch a military attack on Iran’s nuclear program. The Iranian nuclear program would bring nuclear war to the Middle East, either because Iran would develop and use a nuclear weapon against Israel, or because Israel in defending itself would trigger a regional war escalating into a nuclear conflict with nuclear-armed defenders of Iran, including Russia.

“I hope and pray my prediction on nuclear war is wrong,” Corsi said. “But my other predictions have played out over the last 10 years with a degree of accuracy that frightens me.”

Corsi noted that 10 years ago, there was no thought Kerry would one day be secretary of state.
“But I was right, down to naming Iranian-American Hassan Nemazee as an agent of the mullahs who served in campaign finance positions both for Kerry’s presidential campaign in 2004 and for Hillary Clinton in 2008 and is today in federal prison for having violated federal banking laws.”

Corsi said Netanyahu is correct, that despite the Obama administration’s resolve that the cornerstone of its foreign policy would be a negotiated solution to Iran’s nuclear program, Kerry is no closer to such a deal today than the administration was when Obama took office in 2009.
Corsi pointed out many passages from “Atomic Iran” mirrored points Netanyahu made in his historic speech to Congress Tuesday morning.
“The mullahs [in Iran] have pursued nuclear weapons clandestinely with a clear intent to ignore their obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and deceive the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency,” Corsi wrote on page 26. “Iran continues to display the characteristics of a rogue regime actively pursuing nuclear weapons, willing to both defy and deceive attempts at international control. Clearly stated, Iran has been playing the world for a fool.”

Netanyahu said: “The U.N.’s nuclear watchdog agency, the IAEA, said again yesterday that Iran still refuses to come clean about its military nuclear program. Iran was also caught – caught twice, not once, twice – operating secret nuclear facilities in Natanz and Qom, facilities that inspectors didn’t even know existed.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressing Congress March 3.

He continued: “Right now, Iran could be hiding nuclear facilities that we don’t know about, the U.S. and Israel. As the former head of inspections for the IAEA said in 2013, he said, ‘If there’s no undeclared installation today in Iran, it will be the first time in 20 years that it doesn’t have one.’”
Netanyahu emphasized Iran “has proven time and again that it cannot be trusted.”
Corsi wrote of Hitler in describing the hatred the radical Islamic mullahs and their sympathizers in Iran have toward the Jews.
“Hitler revealed in ‘Mein Kampf’ that he intended to commit genocide on the Jews of Germany,” Corsi wrote on pages 40-41. “Many did not take him seriously; the thought was simply too extreme, too mad. Yet he communicated his true intentions, even if only those who knew how to listen to disturbed personalities believed him at the time.
“So, too, the mad mullahs who rule Iran have been clearly telling the world that they intend to use their missiles, and when they have them, their nuclear weapons,” Corsi continued.
“Iran’s President Muhammad Khatami speaks in radical terms. ‘Haven’t the Jews and Christians achieved their progress by means of toughness and repression?’ he asks. Take him seriously, for he has a strategy drawn to destroy Jewish and Christian civilization, regardless how fourteenth century the whole discussion seems. ‘Our missiles are now ready to strike at their civilization, and as soon as the instructions arrive from the Leader Ali Khamenei, we will launch our missiles at their cities and installations.’”
Similarly, Nethanyahu pointed to the statements of Hezbollah’s leader in Lebanon.
“For those who believe that Iran threatens the Jewish state, but not the Jewish people, listen to Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, Iran’s chief terrorist proxy,” Netanyahu warned. “He said: If all the Jews gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of chasing them down around the world.”
But Iran’s regime, he said, is “not merely a Jewish problem, any more than the Nazi regime was merely a Jewish problem.”

“The 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazis were but a fraction of the 60 million people killed in World War II. So, too, Iran’s regime poses a grave threat, not only to Israel, but also the peace of the entire world. To understand just how dangerous Iran would be with nuclear weapons, we must fully understand the nature of the regime.”


Netanyahu also showed understanding of the oppression the Iranian people have suffered.
“The people of Iran are very talented people,” Netanyahu distinguished. “They’re heirs to one of the world’s great civilizations. But in 1979, they were hijacked by religious zealots – religious zealots who imposed on them immediately a dark and brutal dictatorship.
“That year, the zealots drafted a constitution, a new one for Iran,” Netanyahu continued. “It directed the revolutionary guards not only to protect Iran’s borders, but also to fulfill the ideological mission of jihad. The regime’s founder, Ayatollah Khomeini, exhorted his followers to ‘export the revolution throughout the world.’

“I’m standing here in Washington, D.C., and the difference is so stark,” Netanyahu concluded. “America’s founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Iran’s founding document pledges death, tyranny and the pursuit of jihad. And as states are collapsing across the Middle East, Iran is charging into the void to do just that.”
Corsi and Netanyahu both invoked the theme “never again” in describing Israel’s resolve to defend itself.

“Israel has sworn ‘Never Again!’ Corsi wrote on page 218. “Reasoning that the Holocaust occurred in part because European Jews did not resist, the Israelis have determined that never again will Israel be passive in the face of its enemies.
“Since the 1940s, first strikes have characterized Israel’s foreign policy,” Corsi continued. “The highly effective Israeli first-strike air assault on June 5, 1967, destroyed the entire Egyptian air force on the ground at the start of the Six-Day War. But more parallel to the urgency surrounding the situation of Iran’s having nuclear weapons is the June 1981 air attack that took out Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor.”

Speaking to Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel in the House gallery Tuesday, Netanyahu said, “Elie, your life and work inspires to give meaning to the words, ‘never again.’
“And I wish I could promise you, Elie, that the lessons of history have been learned. I can only urge the leaders of the world not to repeat the mistakes of the past,” he continued. “Not to sacrifice the future for the present; not to ignore aggression in the hopes of gaining an illusory peace.
“But I can guarantee you this, the days when the Jewish people remained passive in the face of genocidal enemies, those days are over,” he asserted.
“We are no longer scattered among the nations, powerless to defend ourselves. We restored our sovereignty in our ancient home. And the soldiers who defend our home have boundless courage. For the first time in 100 generations, we, the Jewish people, can defend ourselves.

“That is why, as prime minister of Israel, I can promise you one more thing,” he stressed. “Even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand.”
Corsi warned against making deals with Iran, writing on page 83, “There is ample proof that the mullahs are not to be trusted, no matter how many times they give their word.”
Netanyahu was equally skeptical.

Just as Corsi concluded in his book, Netanyahu declared restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program should not be lifted unless Tehran stops its threats to annihilate the Jewish state, its aggression against its neighbors in the Middle East and its support of terrorism around the world.
