Diary: ISRAEL PUSHING U.S. TO BOMB IRAN

DIANE'S NEWS CLIPS begins here :)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> .ron corvuswire@comcast.net ISRAEL PUSHING U.S. TO BOMB IRAN By Mike Blair ISRAELIS SAY THEY'LL ATTACK IF AMERICA, UK REFUSE TO ACT The Bush administration and the British government are under increasing pressure from the Israelis to conduct an illegal air strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, according to a number of reports in Europe's largest newspapers. .................snip...................... ...irresponsible air strikes against Iran's nuclear sites, which would inevitably result in massive, insoluble geopolitical, military, energy and economic problems, are planned by Bush administration numbskulls. Israel, as usual, is counting on U.S. backing-and it is making it obvious that if there is no strike on Iran it will act on its own. .................snip...................... According to the British publication "Gen. Shkedy will coordinate the intelligence gathered by Israel's foreign spy agency Mossad and military sources, in order to draw up battle plans. . . . He will command the campaign from a 'hot seat' in the Israeli army's headquarters in Tel Aviv." Uri Dromi, a former air force colonel and analyst, told The Sunday Telegraph: "It's natural that Shkedy is nominated in this role, because the air force is Israel's only force that can reach and sustain a military operation against Iran. . . .Everyone is playing with dates and time frames . . . but the list of options is becoming shorter. I think we have one year open [to launch military action]." Israel reportedly has an arsenal of at least 200 nuclear warheads and as many as 400. .................snip...................... The belief in some areas of Whitehall is that an attack is now all but inevitable. http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/israel_pushing_u_s_.html _________________________________ IF LINK DOESN'T WORK, THEN PASTE ARTICLE LINK(S) INTO YOUR BROWSER -- OR GO DIRECTLY TO >> http://www.truthout.org FOCUS | Report: THOUSANDS WRONGLY ON TERROR LIST http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/100706Z.shtml Thousands of people have been mistakenly linked to names on terror watch lists when they crossed the border, boarded commercial airliners or were stopped for traffic violations, a government report said Friday. ----- FOCUS | Experts Warn of an Accidental Atomic War http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/100706X.shtml A Pentagon project to modify its deadliest nuclear missile for use as a conventional weapon against targets such as North Korea and Iran could unwittingly spark an atomic war. ----- House Staffer Says Hastert Knew Far Earlier http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/100706B.shtml [snip] ... well before the speaker said aides in his office took any action. ----- Dr. Wilmer J.

The decision comes in response to widespread complaints by farmers and consumer groups, who pointed out that the safety claims made by the biotech companies were based on skewed studies the companies paid for themselves. Indian farmers are adamantly opposed to introducing any more biotech crops, in the wake of the widespread cultivation of a genetically engineered cotton variety patented by Monsanto that has caused widespread crop failures, driving thousands of Indian cotton farmers into desperate poverty. Since Monsanto's GE cotton was introduced, 20,000 bankrupt farmers have committed suicide.
