 "There is a possibility of nuclear weapons being employed" In a Counterpunch article by William S. Lind; Director for the Center for Cultural Conservatism for the Free Congress Foundation it is suggested that an attack on Iran is envisaged before Xmas: "An attack on Iran will not be an invasion with ground troops. We don't have enough of those left to invade Ruritania. It will be a "package" of air and missile strikes, by U.S. forces or Israel. If Israel does it, there is a possibility of nuclear weapons being employed. But Israel would prefer the U.S. to do the dirty work, and what Israel wants, Israel usually gets, at least in Washington". |

Is this the sequel to Iran will attacked before June, Iran will be attacked before October, Iran will be attacked before................?
is that the same Liberation Front who were blown away by the SAS when they surreder at theLondon siege back in the late '70's/ eraly '80's or different folks?
Extract from a ZNET article : "In Iran, which is the big one, if you look at it, the oil of the region (that’s where most of the hydrocarbons in the world are) they are right around the gulf, the Shiite sections of Iraq, the Shiite sections of Saudi Arabia and an Arab—not Persian—region of Iran, Khuzestan, right near the Gulf, it happens to be Arab. There is talk floating around Europe (you know it’s probably planted by the CIA) of an Ahwazi Liberation Movement for this region. A feasible, I don’t know if it’s feasible or not, but I think the kind of thought that would be occurring to the Pentagon planners is to sponsor a liberation movement, so-called, in the area near the Gulf then move in to defend it. They’ve got 150,000 troops in Iraq; presumably, you might try that, and then bomb the rest of the country back to the Stone Age. It’s conceivable, I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if those are the kinds of plans that are being toyed with."
