Netanyahu Won’t Wait for U.S. Attack on Iran– An Israeli Perspective


The hourglass is running out and the Israeli patience is threatening to wear thin, but in the West, the assessment is that the American showdown will open with Tomahawk missiles followed by the strategic bombers with ‘the Mother of All Bombs.’ So maybe it’s worthwhile to wait for Obama? Not if you ask Netanyahu and Barak.”

I am going to have to assume that this PressTV article on July 27, entitled “Diplomacy Key to Solving Iran Nuclear Issue: Iranian Envoy” is a sign that my posts here are being read by the Iranians. In this article the Iranian ambassador to Vienna Hassan Tajik, unprovoked, lambasted Western media for 'hyping' the potential closing of the Strait of Hormuz. It also quotes the deputy commander of IRGC Naval Force, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri, “As long as Iran can use the Strait of Hormuz, others are free to pass through it.” Thus, implying that the Stennis will be allowed to sail through the Strait of Hormuz come late October.

It is no secret that my aim is to avoid WW3 at all cost. As such here is my free advice to Iran.

You can ill-afford to cower before the Stennis without imparting a diplomatic yoke that your enemies cannot refute or deny. Yes, there is no shame in being a coward for peace sake; however, to avoid WW3 one must add some oomph to the messaging in order to keep the jackals at bay. So, on the day that your Supreme Leader makes the announcement that the Stennis will be granted passage through the Strait of Hormuz, detonate a non-nuclear device in the form of a thermobaric bomb and broadcast it for the world to see [a befitting diplomatic response to recent US announcement that our 30,000 pounds Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP or GBU-57 A/B) is ready to for action]. No other message will EVER have to be sent again when you tacitly speak softly while carrying a ginormous stick at the same time.

P.S. To MANAGEMENT...

I SUBMIT this viral OP-ED for your Blog to be published on 8/6/12 @ 08:15 am. Netanyahu can't be stopped without exposing him for what he is (it dawned on me upon rereading his need for secrecy noted below). For the sake of humanity, we have to stop him in the next 12 weeks before one bomb land on Iranian soil.

{TITLE} 2012: The ASCENSION of the BEAST

11/03/11: Sarkozy (G20 France): “I can't look at him anymore, he's a liar.” President Obama: “You've had enough of [Netanyahu], but I have to deal with him every day!” …LOOSE LIPS.
1/13/12 Bibi: “For the first time I see Iran wobble …under the sanctions that have been adopted and especially under the threat of strong sanctions on their central bank.”
1/15/12 DPM Ya'alon shared his frustration with Israel Radio: “election-year considerations” was hindering the Obama administration from imposing more sanctions out of fear of rising gas prices.
1/28/12 While at Davos, Switzerland, DM Ehud Barak was quoted in The London Daily Telegraph as follows: “We are determined to prevent Iran from turning nuclear. And even the American president and opinion leaders have said that no option should be removed from the table. It seems to us to be urgent, because the Iranians are deliberately drifting into what we call an immunity zone where practically no surgical operation could block them.”
March [AIPAC Conference] Netanyahu: “I will never let MY PEOPLE live under the shadow of annihilation.”
3/05/12 OBAMA [Oval Office]: “As I’ve said repeatedly, the bond between our two countries is unbreakable. My personal commitment — a commitment that is consistent with the history of other occupants of this Oval Office — our commitment to the security of Israel is rock solid. And as I’ve said to the Prime Minister in every single one of our meetings, the United States will always have Israel’s back when it comes to Israel’s security. This is a bond that is based not only on our mutual security interests and economic interests, but is also based on common values and the incredible people-to-people contacts that we have between our two countries.” This is the most boneheaded, off-the-cuff, faux pas by a US President since the Atomic age began on August 6, 1945, at 08:15 (Hiroshima time). Obama might as well have given his messianic pal all the keys and launch codes for the Pentagon. …ELECTORIAL SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS.
3/24/12: [Seoul Open Mic] Obama: “This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.” After this admission of vulnerability, the Beast was reborn anew with the assistance of the Republican party. A Netanyahu began to blackmail the President of the United States of America on Iranian sanctions, P5+1 negotiating posture, paying homage to him after each P5+1 talks and cuddling him on a daily basis; or else!
4/03/12 Netanyahu's new language: “The sanctions are painful, hard… but will this bring about a halt or a retreat in the Iranian nuclear program? Until now, it has not happened. …We will attack those who threaten to attack us.”
4/08/12 Netanyahu's new demand: “Our policy with regard to Iran has not changed, AND THAT IS ALSO WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN AT THE TALKS. The DEMANDS from Iran MUST be clear – remove the enriched [nuclear] material, stop the enrichment and dismantle the installation at Qom.” And so it shall be.
4/15/12 Netanyahu harshly criticized the Istanbul talks: “MY initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie [an 'UNFORGIVEN (1992)' metaphor]” to carry on with its nuclear program. He must fancy himself as William Munny.
4/17/12 Reuters report: "I think they have made a decision to attack," said a senior Israeli figure with close ties to the leadership. "It is going to happen. The window of opportunity is before the U.S. presidential election in November. This way they will bounce the Americans into supporting them." From “Netanyahu Government On Lockdown As Chance to Attack Iran's Nuclear Facilities Is Running Out;” and “Iran Attack Decision Nears, Israeli Elite Locks Down”

...2012: The ASCENSION of the BEAST

5/09/12 US House of Representatives passed the UNITED STATES-ISRAEL ENHANCED SECURITY COOPERATION ACT OF 2012, which seeks to “reaffirm the commitment to Israel's security as a Jewish state; provide Israel with the military capabilities to defend itself by itself against any threats… [and] expand military and civilian cooperation.” This bill was described by Philip Giraldi, an intelligence officer, as “basically provides Israel with a blank check drawn on the US taxpayer to maintain its 'qualitative military edge' over all of its neighbors combined.” Unlike other nuclear-armed states, only the Jewish Bomb is without equal. Think about it. USA is balanced by Russia/Soviet Union; China~India~Pakistan; USA~North Korea; France & Britain~Colonial relics. Israel is unbalanced; so, if they unilaterally threaten to nuke a non-nuclear state the fallout has no return address. Who among the other states would dare punish her for her transgression without being labeled an anti-Semite or a Holocaust denier? Only the Persian nukes can balance-out this beastly nightmare.
6/06/12 The Telegraph cites these Demonic verses, “THE GREATEST THREAT FACING HUMANITY IS A RADICAL ISLAMIST REGIME MEETING UP WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THE IRANIAN ACQUISITION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS WOULD BE INFINITELY MORE COSTLY THAN ANY SCENARIO [WW3] YOU CAN IMAGINE TO STOP IT.” Basically, kill or be killed; bomb or the bomb; a Persian holocaust at the hands of Holocaust descendants is less costly; there is no room for the P5+1 to negotiate… what? This statement by a leader with a nuclear arsenal is sheer madness. If these words were uttered by Ahmadinejad, Putin, the Chinese or any non-white country, there is enough fuel on this table to ignite another Cold War or a preemptive nuke'm now option. But because he's one of our own, it's seen as a healthy form of aggression in self-defense of a Megalomaniac’s paranoia (oxymoronic, isn’t it?).
6/25/12 Putin's warnings for Israel – (1) maintaining peace in the Middle East is a National Interest for Russia; (2) the prospect of mutual destruction is unacceptable; and (3) an attack on Iran or Syria is an attack on SCO.
6/29/12 The US Senate passed the UNITED STATES-ISRAEL ENHANCED SECURITY COOPERATION ACT OF 2012 (S. 2165), which reaffirmed the “unwavering commitment of the security of the State of Israel as a Jewish State” and the manifest destiny to help Israel preserve its qualitative military supremacy, to veto anti-Israeli resolutions at the UN Security Council and “to support Israel's inherent right to self-defense [imagined or real].”
July: A stream of high-ranking US officials (John Brennan, William Burns, Tom Donilon, Hillary & Panetta) made weekly pilgrimage to Israel to cuddle a Netanyahu. These are factual events and should scare anyone with at least half-a-brain.
7/27/12 President Obama signs the UNITED STATES-ISRAEL ENHANCED SECURITY COOPERATION ACT OF 2012.
7/29/12 Emperor Netanyahu declares that he wants a “strong and credible military threat” against Iran. US Taxpayers: “Yes, my Master, thy will is our command; the USS Stennis aerial-naval ops are on their way.”
7/31/12 Netanyahu in full Beast Mode: “I've not made a decision yet [to attack Iran] …as in every democracy, it's the executive branch that decides, and the executive agencies execute.” The United States of America has lost all tactical and operational control for restraining Bibi's Israel. They have created a monster and they don't know of any civilized way to stop it. The message to Panetta before their meeting is clear: the decider will not consult his close ally beforehand. Another terrifying message from these disturbing interviews with Channel 2 & 10 is that there is a serious internal split between the security chiefs and the top brass over attacking Iran. His own Generals are more leery of a messianic war than the Ayatollah.

Actual Excerpts: “In Israeli democracy, just like in any democracy, the political echelon makes the decisions and the professional echelon carries them out. […cites Menachem Begin and the 1981 bombing of Osirak reactor as the precedent]

…I hear [the security chiefs’] evaluations behind closed doors The media debate…on the matter is irresponsible and is detrimental to state security. Appropriate discussions on such sensitive matters are held in private and there are many aspects that don’t even reach [the public]; the external debate is extremely inappropriate and very superficial. [t]he decision that will be made, whatever it is, belongs to the political echelon. I WILL NOT ALLOW A NUCLEAR-ARMED IRAN. The regime of the ayatollah is making bombs to destroy us [paranoia]! To the extent that it’s up to me, I won’t let it happen.”

We are all at the mercy of a Netanyahu (whether we like it or not). On the Sixty Sixth year, ONE MAN HOLDS THE FATE OF HUMANITY AS HIS WHIM. Never again can WE allow the Beast to reload and manifest like this without the concerted vigilance needed to decapitate a wanderlust for the unlimited desolating powers of loose nukes.

The Zionist Regime of Israel's defense intelligents and experts know and well aware that the Regime's military power and might is no match at all to the mighty Iran's. Iran had already proved some of its military capabilities through the downing and landing of the U.S., world's most advanced stealth spy drone RQ-170 Sentinel onto iranian soil with a minimal damage in December, 2011. Beside, Iran had also managed to 'blind' a CIA spy satellite by aiming with a laser quite accurately. According to the report, several european intelligence sources claim Iran is in possession of the so-called 'satellite jamming technology' as publish by many western sources. Any Israel's stupid move against Iran will definitely be an end to the Regime.
