It is time to act


Caroline B. Glick puts the Iranian acquisition of nuclear bombs into perspective. It is the eleventh hour, with only one way to stop Iran from making and using nuclear bombs against Israel. A nuclear attack on Israel will of course decimate the country and kill millions. It will also trigger massive retaliation against Iran and will cause global economic disaster. Any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities and missile systems must also include the elimination of Pakistan's nuclear capability. In the event of an Iranian/Israeli nuclear exchange, Pakistan's nuclear missiles will surely come under the control of fanatical islamic elements. Oil and oil products will become virtually impossible to acquire, food will become scarce because global trade and transportation will become severely restricted.

Such an exchange will almost certainly trigger massive uprisings of muslims throughout the Western world. Such uprisings will strain governments ability to cope with supplying citizens with basics and to maintain order.

In short, any nuclear exchange anywhere will cause pandemonium, death and destruction far beyond the immediate effects of nuclear detonations.

It is time to act

By Caroline B. Glick
Iran is just a heartbeat away from the A-bomb. Last Friday the Daily Telegraph reported Iran has surreptitiously removed a sufficient amount of uranium from its nuclear production facility in Isfahan to produce six nuclear bombs. Given Iran's already acknowledged uranium enrichment capabilities, the Telegraph's report indicates that Iran is now in the late stages of assembling nuclear bombs.
It would be a simple matter for Iran to assemble those bombs without anyone noticing. US spy satellites recently discovered what the US believes are covert nuclear facilities in Iran. The mullocracy has not disclosed these sites to the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is charged with inspecting Iran's nuclear sites.

As to the IAEA, this week it presented its latest report on Iran's nuclear program to its board members in Vienna. The IAEA's report claimed that Iran has taken steps to enable its Shihab-3 ballistic missiles to carry nuclear warheads. With their range of 1,300 kilometers, Shihab-3 missiles are capable of reaching Israel and other countries throughout the region.
In support of its swiftly progressing nuclear program, Iran has escalated both its conventional military and terroristic adventurism. It has also ratcheted up its diplomatic assault on the US. This week, Iran conducted a countrywide air defense exercise. Gen. Khatim al Anbiaa, the commander of Iran's Air Defense Corps explained that the exercise was aimed at defending against both electronic jamming systems and against actual bombing strikes.
Also this week, Yahya Rahim Safavi, the former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps and current senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for security affairs announced that Iran has shifted responsibility for naval warfare on the Persian Gulf from its regular naval forces to its more fanatical Revolutionary Guards. The Iranian navy will now be deployed only in the Gulf of Oman and along the Caspian Sea.
