U.S.-Israel plan to strike Iran's nuclear sites finalized

2/6/2005 4:00:00 PM GMT

Experts from the U.S. Defense Department, the Pentagon and Israel have put final touches to a plan to launch a military strike targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, experts at the European Commission based in Brussels, revealed on Sunday.

The experts added that the implementation of this plan rested on a number of factors including the U.S. continuous efforts to hamper the EU-Iranian negotiations to persuade Iran to suspend all activities related to uranium enrichment, with the aim of justifying a military strike against the Islamic republic if it refused to bow to U.S. pressures.

...

The EC experts, moreover, said that Washington was intensifying its intelligence activities aimed at spying on the Iranian nuclear sites and was also making use of the old laws allowing the CIA to support coup d'etats and arousing sectarian and ethnic conflicts in different countries.

...

During his State of the Union speech on Wednesday, President Bush had called Iran "the world's primary state sponsor of terror" and repeated accusations that Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

2. The children of the elites won't be the ones dying because of this
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that an attack on Iran will put our troops in Iraq at risk of attack by the Shia majority. What do you think that Ayatollah Al Sistani will tell his Iraqi followers after a US attack on his native Iran?

I posted on that a while back. Can't figure out who owns 'em tho....

On edit: Nothing on Aljazeera.net site that says anything about this. I've always thought the .com site was an American plant.
