Israel's Iran Strike Routes
The jury is still out whether Israel will or will not attack Iran, despite the endless and relentless (dis)information in the media from all sides, and certainly when such an attack might happen, but if it did take place, these are all the logistically possible formats what an airborne attack could look like.
Via Stratfor:
A unilateral strike on the Iranian nuclear program is not Israel's preferred option. However, if Israel does decide to proceed with the mission unilaterally, the different routes the strike package could take each pose unique challenges. Currently, the Israeli air force has three principal routes to its targets in Iran. The first route involves flying northward over the eastern Mediterranean Sea between Cyprus and Syria, and then proceeding eastward along the Turkey-Syria border, flying through northern Iraq and into Iran. This route circumvents Syria's air defense network, which was built to cover its western flank against an Israeli air attack. The second route is the shortest and involves flying directly over Jordan and Iraq to reach Iran. Due to the shorter distance, the likelihood that Jordan could be deterred from interfering with the strike package, and the absence of any viable Iraqi air defense, this route probably poses the least risk. The third route goes through northern Saudi Arabia, over the Persian Gulf and into Iran. While most of Saudi Arabia's air defenses and air bases are oriented toward the Persian Gulf and the main cities to the south, Israeli planes would almost certainly be detected, especially since they would have to fly near Tabuk's air base. If Riyadh did choose to intercept the Israeli aircraft, the Israeli air force would face serious complications because Saudi Arabia has a large number of advanced interceptor aircraft. As the war in Syria intensifies, another route may become viable. Rebel operations have already negatively affected the Syrian regime's air defenses somewhat. If this trend intensifies, the country's air defense network may be degraded to the extent that the Israeli air force would be able to fly directly over Syria without undue risk to its aircraft.
Of course, if the US were to engage alongside Israel, presidential elections notwithstanding, and the numerous US aircraft carriers stationed in the Gulf and the Arabian Sea were to participate in any offensive, then all predictive bets are off. One thing is certain: it is, at least in Israel's view, that the window of attack is rapidly closing, which may explain why crude is once again trading on edge every single day, and why gas at the pump, has once again never been more expensive on this day in history, a fact which the Romney camp will certainly hone in on soon to quite soon.

israel has to be shite-ing its pantalones with all the muslim unrest going on....no way they can take on the whole region. we (the usa) could toast the whole place but when we do it then russia and china will toast us so i think israel goes away this time and we dont do anything about it.
"Muslim unrest"? They've caused the bulk of it.
You play with fire, you get burned.
And now back to the money..... BULLISH
EDIT: And what happens when they do invade and the US is dragged in? Will you go outside and protest? What do you think Homeland Security was buying up all that ammunition for?
Iran should simply,reverse the the Game play,that would give The Coldmens Slacks something to think about,and requet a hidding place at the ,Jolly Peace of Morgue!
They were ,played fools one time in History,and in came a dictator,high on his Golden throne,put there by? Whom would it might be?Some one,we already know!Any clues out there.
And come again, with the BRICS,Coldmans,very own invention=Slot machine!
There are many ways to cause an EMP. Why would anyone use a nuclear at relatively low altitude to limit the EMP range when other alternatives exist. Do a google on making an EMP devise and you can even make one from a micro-wave. IMHO this is the way to take out an enemy. Cause them to lose electricity for their teleprompter idiots.
I am beginning to envy this gig that Nut-in-your-u-hoo has going on.............1) buy an oil futures contract, then announce "we are going to bomb the daylights out of iran........2) sell an oil futures contract, then announce "we are going to have peace talks".
What a bunch of CRAP
Occam's razor agrees with you.
The banksters are licking their chops for a big war. They will make billions, if not trillions.
Massive destruction eventually creates commerce and jobs.
When all else fails you go to war.
Here's the plan from the US perspective:
1. Collaborate with Israel on a coordinated attack.
2. Don't show up.
3. Profit.
Super Super Bullish!
Isreal obviously need an aircraft carrier. Would negate all those politcally tricky overland air routes. Suprised they've not got one.
Doesn't Spain have one on sale ?
What an unwelcome development fellow ZHers,
Heres my two cents anyhoo,
Go on then Isreal. Give it a crack, but leave the sugar daddy out of it. Do it on your own you cowardly cunts, take on Iran and get the fucker over with, cos' there will be more than one sitting back laughing as you get handed your arse on a plate.
You really want to take on 70 million? Without US support? Please, I urge you, go get some.
Gods chosen indeed.
It's not the number of people, it's the technology. 70 milion savages using 20th century armament and tactics are easily defeated with advanced tactics and modern armaments. If Iran did not believe that was so, they would have attacked Israel long ago.
Funny, hillybilly calling Persians savages.
Funny also that Israel knows what Sunburns do, and they don't want to lose, so they beg daddy for help.
you hit the nail on the head...70 million....we dont have 70 million smart bombs to kill them all. wait til we cant afford $1mil smart bombs to kill 5 guys. we will have to send out the infantry. try explaining 200k dead......we will be russian. they got their ass handed to them and then went broke.
What are you tootin, Totin. Those "savages" were able to take control of and land on their soil, a state-of-the-art CIA stealth drone.
I thought that was the trojan horse that delivered Flame.
I guess maybe they could have cracked/hacked and then assumed control and brought it in for a perfect landing with the steady hand of God guiding them. Or not.
It was a GPS hack that made the plane think it was somewhere else, and it went into a bot landing sequence, hence the landing strip being a few feet too high or low compared to it's normal landing, and the landing gear was damaged. Sad that people never figured out what really happened, but the info isn't really easy to find. A simple but brilliant GPS hack using new Russian tech.

Dear Mr. Ahmadinjad.
All you have to do is accept the US dollar for oil and the zionist pigs won't bomb you back to the stone age which won't take very long.
We know it's bullshit that your making a nuke head, Israel has 256 of them and you don't even have 1 yet.
-Good luck.
they don't have a warhead like they don't have gold.
If they wanted a nuke warhead, all they have to do is call Russia dumb ass. C'mon, use your head.

So before you lather up for WWIII study your Geo Political first.
Any Israeli/US intervention in Iran will be punctuated with a nuclear detonation - by us, not them and within a week of the first bomb hitting Iran. Does anyone believe the USA will allow Israel to be hit by Iranian missiles? Never happen. If this conflict escalates to 'hot', better get ready for an entirely new way of life, one that most people will not enjoy at all.
So will this be the Mother Of All Battles (MOAB)?
Most likely it will make the far southern hemisphere triple in price.

Well debka-brain, does anyone really believe the USA could actually stop them?
I mean aside from you.
Your personal photo says it all. I know who's responding. Do you? Now, go to mama and get your cookies.
If they really have a program for developing nuclear weapons, it´s certainly widely dispersed over this large country and therefore extremely difficult to destroy by bombing. At best it would result in kicking this supposed nuclear can down the road.
So, an invasion would be necessary to deal with this supposed threat but contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Military has been largely destroyed by the Iraq-Afghanistan war scams. The combat troop losses have been very serious. To get at the real truth you have to go to the Veterans Administration. I have their reports from 2007 and 2008 but I´m not sure if there are more recent ones. It may be classified. This is very explosive stuff. Google GWVIS_Aug_2008.pdf
The reality? I know kids who have been trying to get into the military. They cannot get in for months because all of the service branches have filled their quotas for many months out. Any combat troop loss is serious, and tragic. But to leap from that to saying the U.S. Military has been largely destroyed is an incorrect leap.
The Jews pushed their luck.
Sorry Jews, only in your fevered imagination does anybody who isn't Jewish give a shit about your precious Israel.
Look for GWVIS_May_2007.pdf
74,000 troops dead at the time from the Iraq wars and 1.6 million permanently disabled.
Percentage of combat troops that filed Disability Claims 36%.
Oded Yinon is so happy!
Thhis article is just about nothing.
This article is just a part of the pump and dump strategy to get Brent a little up before it plunge.
It is clear some smart money wants out Brent oil.
The prefered option, as we all know, is for the USA to launch a full scale air war against Iran. This opens with stikes against leadership targets, air defenses and the nuclear sites. It then expands to all Iranian military assets and then moves to the civilian side taking out roads, bridges, water plants, sewage plants, food processing plants, truck factories etc. etc.
Should this fail to prompt surrender and an opening of Iran to the US occupation Amry, then mass civilian casualty targets will be hit, by accident of course. See the NATO war against Serbia for an idea of how this all works.
Simply put, we Americans have allowed our military and government to be controlled to a degree by a foreign power. Their dictates seem to drive US policy. Need I mention that that state is Israel, the evidence of their power is documented by past US behaviour and is beyond dispute.
So, when does the war with Iran kick off? Anyones guess, but it seems inevitable. Perhaps if Syria can be brought under NATO control before the US elections, then the time will be ripe for the big show against Iran. Imagine once Iran is conquered. NATO and the USA will control Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya. Add to those the US mid east allies and the USA will control nearly all of the middle east. The empire will have made the biggest move since it conquered western Europe from the Nazis in 1944-45.
Will Russia and China react to prevent this complete take over? That IS the question! No one knows until the US kicks off it's Iran attacks.
This "The prefered option, as we all know, is for the USA to launch a full scale air war against Iran.", is a bunch of bunk. And whats this "we" shit?
You got bugs? And lets be clear. US drives foreign policy - EVERYBODY'S foreign policy, not foreign powers. Oh yeah, and the war "kicks off" with Iran this Saturday afternoon with Lady Gaga performing the halftime show. And an awfully big assumption and gross simplification of NATO and the US "conquering" Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya. I get the KISS principle, but, this is just fucking stupid.
Well, America is famous for losing the wars that she wins, Obviously the war business is extremely lucrative. Nobody questions the bills when the fight is for god and country. Businessmen typically create business opportunities. They don´t fill all available warehouses with bombs and other weapons and then happily go out of business. I think you have to view all those war and terror scams in this light. Just before 2000 crude was at $10 and there seemed to a be a real threat of world peace. In 2000, The Project For a New American Century, lamented that a new Pearl Harbor would be needed to counter this threat. Then those fruitcakes flocked into Baby Bush´s administration obviously. Nobody voted for these people in any elections. So, which interests put them in?

Darwin will prevail, idiot psychopath always end up committing suicide unwillingly.
People:
Attack aircraft do not fly sorties with laws on their wings. They fly with ORDNANCE - no letter "I" therein. The ordinances dealing with dropping ordnance are ordinary.
The persians are not arabs, are not liked/loved by other arabs, are in fact loathed by other arab nations. The Israelis will get all the assist they need.
Why not just quietly build up your assets in Afghanistan, then come in from the East?
If the US did it, it would "instead of," not "along side of." That would be the reason for the US to do it, in fact, so Israel wouldn't do it on its own. It's the same as the US attacking Saddam's Scud launchers in 1991, to keep the Israelis from getting involved, even though some of the Scuds were hitting Israel.
The window for Israel is closing. It's about target hardening that the Iranians are doing that will make any Israeli attack ineffectual. The window closes this fall. For the US, with longer-range and more powerful means, the window closes some time next year. So it's between this fall and next that Iran gets attacked. Crude oil prices, like so many other things in the markets right now, are still too complacent.
I'm not optimistic about the competence of this administration to pull it off successfully. They've dallied for too long, and spent their first two years in a silly romance of "engagement with Islam." Things are now running backwards in Egypt, as they've been running backwards for a decade in Turkey. If they do pull it off, it'll be because of Clinton and Panetta, two who surpass the minimum requirements of knowing what they're doing; the same cannot be said of their president.
Romney is more of an unknown. The Bush Sr. administration did handle it with basic competence in 1991, although they made some (what turned out to be) long-term mistakes. You wonder if Romney et al. would have the Reagan-Bush Sr. competence, or the policy autism and blindness of Bush Jr.
The red route is directly over the Valley of Megiddo.
Missing form the article are Iran's return ballistic missile routes.
Israel won't do shit. Mark my words, they won't.
The Strait of hormuz won't even factor into it - the Israelis just don't have enough missile defence to stop all the Iranians have to throw at them and you can be sure Tehran won't hold much back.
Israel won't... that is... unless... WW3 is to be started by...
Oh, the irony.
Israel has plane, submarine and ICBM delivery of nukes as the real Wild Card. Samson Option, anyone?
Let's hope they use the sampson option on themselves, but of course they can't let the Goys have a world of their own making.
emailed commentary from my foreign policy wonk friend:
israel can not do it without america. this is why they keep goading america into attacking iran. he did not touch one very slim slither route that is possible for israel. that is through the Kurd area. israel has tried to have a relationship with the kurds for some time. remember the Georgia/s/Odessia conflict a few years back? israel was knee dep in Georgia. having a base there to hit iran was their objective. s/arabia would be committing suicide if they allowed israel to fly over KSA. the shia in KSA would go nuts. they live and work on the eastern side of KSA where the oil fields are. KSA brought them in for manual labor long ago. there is no way that they could protect the oil fields.This whole thing stinks like shit. But for the sake of argument, does anyone think Saudi pilots would stand a chance against Israeli pilots? If they are anywhere close to as good as the ones from the old days as in the late sixties, early seventies they sure the hell won't.
You got that right. These guys flying IDF's stripped-down F-15's are seasoned bad asses.

here is a letter sent from the elected leader of iran to dumbo baby bush.
The following is the full text of President Ahmadinejad's letter to President George Bush:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful,
Mr George Bush,
President of the United States of America,
For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, especially in political forums and amongst university students. Many questions remain unanswered. These have prompted me to discuss some of the contradictions and questions, in the hope that it might bring about an opportunity to redress them.
Can one be a follower of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the great Messenger of God, feel obliged to respect human rights, present liberalism as a civilization model, announce one’s opposition to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and WMDs, make “War on Terror” his slogan, and finally, work towards the establishment of a unified international community – a community which Christ and the virtuous of the Earth will one day govern, but at the same time, have countries attacked. The lives, reputations and possessions of people destroyed and on the slight chance of the presence of a few criminals in a village, city, or convoy for example, the entire village, city or convoy (are) set ablaze.
Or because of the possibility of the existence of WMDs in one country, it is occupied, around one hundred thousand people killed, its water sources, agriculture and industry destroyed, close to 180,000 foreign troops put on the ground, sanctity of private homes of citizens broken, and the country pushed back perhaps fifty years. At what price? Hundreds of billions of dollars spent from the treasury of one country and certain other countries and tens of thousands of young men and women – as occupation troops – put in harms way, taken away from family and loved ones, their hands stained with the blood of others, subjected to so much psychological pressure that everyday some commit suicide and those returning home suffer depression, become sickly and grapple with all sorts of ailments; while some are killed and their bodies handed to their families.
On the pretext of the existence of WMDs, this great tragedy came to engulf both the peoples of the occupied and the occupying country. Later it was revealed that no WMDs existed to begin with.Of course Saddam was a murderous dictator. But the war was not waged to topple him, the announced goal of the war was to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction. He was toppled along the way towards another goal; nevertheless the people of the region are happy about it. I point out that throughout the many years of the imposed war on Iran Saddam was supported by the West.
Mr. President,
You might know that I am a teacher. My students ask me how can these actions be reconciled with the values outlined at the beginning of this letter and duty to the tradition of Jesus Christ (PBUH), the Messenger of peace and forgiveness?
There are prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that have not been tried, have no legal representation, their families cannot see them and are obviously kept in a strange land outside their own country. There is no international monitoring of their conditions and fate. No one knows whether they are prisoners, POWs, accused or criminals.
European investigators have confirmed the existence of secret prisons in Europe too. I could not correlate the abduction of a person, and him or her being kept in secret prisons, with the provisions of any judicial system. For that matter, I fail to understand how such actions correspond to the values outlined in the beginning of this letter, i.e. the teachings of Jesus Christ (PBUH), human rights and liberal values.
Young people, university students, and ordinary people have many questions about the phenomenon of Israel. I am sure you are familiar with some of them.
Throughout history many countries have been occupied, but I think the establishment of a new country with a new people, is a new phenomenon that is exclusive to our times.
Students are saying that sixty years ago such a country did not exist. They show old documents and globes and say try as we have, we have not been able to find a country named Israel.
I tell them to study the history of WWI and II. One of my students told me that during WWII, which more than tens of millions of people perished in, news about the war, was quickly disseminated by the warring parties. Each touted their victories and the most recent battlefront defeat of the other party. After the war they claimed that six million Jews had been killed. Six million people that were surely related to at least two million families.
Again let us assume that these events are true. Does that logically translate into the establishment of the state of Israel in the Middle East or support for such a state? How can this phenomenon be rationalized or explained?
Mr. President,
I am sure you know how – and at what cost – Israel was established:
-Many thousands were killed in the process.
-Millions of indigenous people were made refugees.
-Hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland, olive plantations, towns and villages were destroyed.
This tragedy is not exclusive to the time of establishment; unfortunately it has been ongoing for sixty years now.
A regime has been established which does not show mercy even to kids, destroys houses while the occupants are still in them, announces beforehand its list and plans to assassinate Palestinian figures, and keeps thousands of Palestinians in prison. Such a phenomenon is unique – or at the very least extremely rare – in recent memory.
Another big question asked by the people is “why is this regime being supported?”
Is support for this regime in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ (PBUH) or Moses (PBUH) or liberal values?
Or are we to understand that allowing the original inhabitants of these lands – inside and outside Palestine -- whether they are Christian, Moslem or Jew, to determine their fate, runs contrary to principles of democracy, human rights and the teachings of prophets? If not, why is there so much opposition to a referendum?
The newly elected Palestinian administration recently took office. All independent observers have confirmed that this government represents the electorate. Unbelievingly, they have put the elected government under pressure and have advised it to recognize the Israeli regime, abandon the struggle and follow the programs of the previous government.
If the current Palestinian government had run on the above platform, would the Palestinian people have voted for it? Again, can such position taken in opposition to the Palestinian government be reconciled with the values outlined earlier? The people are also asking “Why are all UNSC resolutions in condemnation of Israel vetoed?”
Mr. President,
As you are well aware, I live amongst the people and am in constant contact with them -- many people from around the Middle East manage to contact me as well. They do not have faith in these dubious policies either. There is evidence that the people of the region are becoming increasingly angry with such policies.
It is not my intention to pose too many questions, but I need to refer to other points as well.
Why is it that any technological and scientific achievement reached in the Middle East region is translated into and portrayed as a threat to the Zionist regime? Is not scientific R&D [Research & Development] one of the basic rights of nations?
You are familiar with history. Aside from the Middle Ages, in what other point in history has scientific and technical progress been a crime? Can the possibility of scientific achievements being utilized for military purposes be reason enough to oppose science and technology altogether? If such a supposition is true, then all scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, engineering, etc. must be opposed.
Lies were told in the Iraqi matter. What was the result? I have no doubt that telling lies is reprehensible in any culture, and you do not like to be lied to.
Mr. President,
Don’t Latin Americans have the right to ask why their elected governments are being opposed and coup leaders supported? Or, Why must they constantly be threatened and live in fear?
The people of Africa are hardworking, creative and talented. They can play an important and valuable role in providing for the needs of humanity and contribute to its material and spiritual progress. Poverty and hardship in large parts of Africa are preventing this from happening. Don’t they have the right to ask why their enormous wealth – including minerals – is being looted, despite the fact that they need it more than others?
Again, do such actions correspond to the teachings of Christ and the tenets of human rights?
The brave and faithful people of Iran too have many questions and grievances, including: the coup d’etat of 1953 and the subsequent toppling of the legal government of the day, opposition to the Islamic revolution, transformation of an Embassy into a headquarters supporting the activities of those opposing the Islamic Republic (many thousands of pages of documents corroborate this claim), support for Saddam in the war waged against Iran, the shooting down of the Iranian passenger plane, freezing the assets of the Iranian nation, increasing threats, anger and displeasure vis-à-vis the scientific and nuclear progress of the Iranian nation (just when all Iranians are jubilant and celebrating their country’s progress), and many other grievances that I will not refer to in this letter.
Mr. President,
September Eleven was a horrendous incident. The killing of innocents is deplorable and appalling in any part of the world. Our government immediately declared its disgust with the perpetrators and offered its condolences to the bereaved and expressed its sympathies.
All governments have a duty to protect the lives, property and good standing of their citizens. Reportedly your government employs extensive security, protection and intelligence systems – and even hunts its opponents abroad. September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services – or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks been kept secret? Why are we not told who botched their responsibilities? And, why aren’t those responsible and the guilty parties identified and put on trial?
All governments have a duty to provide security and peace of mind for their citizens. For some years now, the people of your country and neighbors of world trouble spots do not have peace of mind. After 9.11, instead of healing and tending to the emotional wounds of the survivors and the American people -- who had been immensely traumatized by the attacks -- some Western media only intensified the climate of fear and insecurity – some constantly talked about the possibility of new terror attacks and kept the people in fear. Is that service to the American people? Is it possible to calculate the damages incurred from fear and panic?
American citizens lived in constant fear of fresh attacks that could come at any moment and in any place. They felt insecure in the streets, in their place of work and at home. Who would be happy with this situation? Why was the media, instead of conveying a feeling of security and providing peace of mind, giving rise to a feeling of insecurity?
Some believe that the hype paved the way -- and was the justification --for an attack on Afghanistan. Again I need to refer to the role of media.
In media charters, correct dissemination of information and honest reporting of a story are established tenets. I express my deep regret about the disregard shown by certain Western media for these principles. The main pretext for an attack on Iraq was the existence of WMDs. This was repeated incessantly -- for the public to finally believe -- and the ground set for an attack on Iraq.
Will the truth not be lost in a contrived and deceptive climate?
Again, if the truth is allowed to be lost, how can that be reconciled with the earlier mentioned values? Is the truth known to the Almighty lost as well?
Mr. President,
In countries around the world, citizens provide for the expenses of governments so that their governments in turn are able to serve them.
The question here is “what has the hundreds of billions of dollars, spent every year to pay for the Iraqi campaign, produced for the citizens?”
As Your Excellency is aware, in some states of your country, people are living in poverty. Many thousands are homeless and unemployment is a huge problem. Of course these problems exist – to a larger or lesser extent -- in other countries as well. With these conditions in mind, can the gargantuan expenses of the campaign – paid from the public treasury – be explained and be consistent with the aforementioned principles?
What has been said, are some of the grievances of the people around the world, in our region and in your country. But my main contention – which I am hoping you will agree to some of it – is:
Those in power have a specific time in office and do not rule indefinitely, but their names will be recorded in history and will be constantly judged in the immediate and distant futures.
The people will scrutinize our presidencies.
Did we mange to bring peace, security and prosperity for the people or insecurity and unemployment?
Did we intend to establish justice or just supported especial interest groups, and by forcing many people to live in poverty and hardship, made a few people rich and powerful -- thus trading the approval of the people and the Almighty with theirs’?
Did we defend the rights of the underprivileged or ignore them?
Did we defend the rights of all people around the world or imposed wars on them, interfered illegally in their affairs, established hellish prisons and incarcerated some of them?
Did we bring the world peace and security or raised the specter of intimidation and threats?
Did we tell the truth to our nation and others around the world or presented an inverted version of it?
Were we on the side of people or the occupiers and oppressors?
Did our administrations set out to promote rational behavior, logic, ethics, peace, fulfilling obligations, justice, service to the people, prosperity, progress and respect for human dignity or the force of guns, intimidation, insecurity, disregard for the people, delaying the progress and excellence of other nations, and trample on people’s rights?
And finally, they will judge us on whether we remained true to our oath of office – to serve the people, which is our main task, and the traditions of the prophets -- or not?
Mr. President,
How much longer can the world tolerate this situation?
Where will this trend lead the world to?
How long must the people of the world pay for the incorrect decisions of some rulers?
How much longer will the specter of insecurity – raised from the stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction -- hunt the people of the world?
How much longer will the blood of the innocent men, women and children be spilled on the streets, and people’s houses destroyed over their heads?
Are you pleased with the current condition of the world?
Do you think present policies can continue?
If billions of dollars spent on security, military campaigns and troop movement were instead spent on investment and assistance for poor countries, promotion of health, combating different diseases, education and improvement of mental and physical fitness, assistance to the victims of natural disasters, creation of employment opportunities and production, development projects and poverty alleviation, establishment of peace, mediation between disputing states, and extinguishing the flames of racial, ethnic and other conflicts, were would the world be today? Would not your government and people be justifiably proud?
Would not your administration’s political and economic standing have been stronger?
And I am most sorry to say, would there have been an ever increasing global hatred of the American government?
Mr. President, it is not my intention to distress anyone.
If Prophet Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ishmael, Joseph, or Jesus Christ (PBUH) were with us today, how would they have judged such behavior? Will we be given a role to play in the promised world, where justice will become universal and Jesus Christ (PBUH) will be present? Will they even accept us?
My basic question is this: Is there no better way to interact with the rest of the world? Today there are hundreds of millions of Christians, hundreds of millions of Muslims and millions of people who follow the teachings of Moses (PBUH). All divine religions share and respect one word and that is “monotheism” or belief in a single God and no other in the world.
The Holy Koran stresses this common word and calls on all followers of divine religions and says: [3.64] Say: O followers of the Book! Come to an equitable proposition between us and you that we shall not serve any but Allah and (that) we shall not associate aught with Him, and (that) some of us shall not take others for lords besides Allah; but if they turn back, then say: Bear witness that we are Muslims. (The Family of Imran)
Mr. President,
According to divine verses, we have all been called upon to worship one God and follow the teachings of divine Prophets.
“To worship a God which is above all powers in the world and can do all He pleases.” “The Lord which knows that which is hidden and visible, the past and the future, knows what goes on in the Hearts of His servants and records their deeds.”
“The Lord who is the possessor of the heavens and the earth and all universe is His court” “planning for the universe is done by His hands, and gives His servants the glad tidings of mercy and forgiveness of sins” “He is the companion of the oppressed and the enemy of oppressors” “He is the Compassionate, the Merciful” “He is the recourse of the faithful and guides them towards the light from darkness” “He is witness to the actions of His servants” “He calls on servants to be faithful and do good deeds, and asks them to stay on the path of righteousness and remain steadfast” “Calls on servants to heed His prophets and He is a witness to their deeds” “A bad ending belongs only to those who have chosen the life of this world and disobey Him and oppress His servants” and “A good end and eternal paradise belong to those servants who fear His majesty and do not follow their lascivious selves.”
We believe a return to the teachings of the divine prophets is the only road leading to salvation. I have been told that Your Excellency follows the teachings of Jesus (PBUH) and believes in the divine promise of the rule of the righteous on Earth.
We also believe that Jesus Christ (PBUH) was one of the great prophets of the Almighty. He has been repeatedly praised in the Koran. Jesus (PBUH) has been quoted in Koran as well: [19.36] And surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him; this is the right path. Marium
Service to and obedience of the Almighty is the credo of all divine messengers.
The God of all people in Europe, Asia, Africa, America, the Pacific and the rest of the world is one. He is the Almighty who wants to guide and give dignity to all His servants. He has given greatness to Humans.
We again read in the Holy Book: “The Almighty God sent His prophets with miracles and clear signs to guide the people and show them divine signs and purify them from sins and pollutions. And He sent the Book and the balance so that the people display justice and avoid the rebellious”.
All of the above verses can be seen, one way or the other, in the Good Book as well.
Divine prophets have promised:
The day will come when all humans will congregate before the court of the Almighty, so that their deeds are examined. The good will be directed towards Haven and evildoers will meet divine retribution. I trust both of us believe in such a day, but it will not be easy to calculate the actions of rulers, because we must be answerable to our nations and all others whose lives have been directly or indirectly affected by our actions.
All prophets, speak of peace and tranquility for man -- based on monotheism, justice and respect for human dignity.
Do you not think that if all of us come to believe in and abide by these principles, that is, monotheism, worship of God, justice, respect for the dignity of man, belief in the Last Day, we can overcome the present problems of the world -- that are the result of disobedience to the Almighty and the teachings of prophets – and improve our performance?
Do you not think that belief in these principles promotes and guarantees peace, friendship and justice?
Do you not think that the aforementioned written or unwritten principles are universally respected?
Will you not accept this invitation? That is, a genuine return to the teachings of prophets, to monotheism and justice, to preserve human dignity and obedience to the Almighty and His prophets?
Mr. President,
History tells us that repressive and cruel governments do not survive. God has entrusted the fate of men to them. The Almighty has not left the universe and humanity to their own devices.
Many things have happened contrary to the wishes and plans of governments. These tell us that there is a higher power at work and all events are determined by Him.
Can one deny the signs of change in the world today?
Is the situation of the world today comparable to that of ten years ago? Changes happen fast and come at a furious pace.
The people of the world are not happy with the status quo and pay little heed to the promises and comments made by a number of influential world leaders. Many people around the world feel insecure and oppose the spreading of insecurity and war and do not approve of and accept dubious policies.
The people are protesting the increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots and the rich and poor countries.
The people are disgusted with increasing corruption.
The people of many countries are angry about the attacks on their cultural foundations and the disintegration of families. They are equally dismayed with the fading of care and compassion. The people of the world have no faith in international organizations, because their rights are not advocated by these organizations.
Liberalism and Western style democracy have not been able to help realize the ideals of humanity. Today these two concepts have failed. Those with insight can already hear the sounds of the shattering and fall of the ideology and thoughts of the Liberal democratic systems.
We increasingly see that people around the world are flocking towards a main focal point -- that is the Almighty God. Undoubtedly through faith in God and the teachings of the prophets, the people will conquer their problems. My question for you is: “Do you not want to join them?”
Mr. President,
Whether we like it or not, the world is gravitating towards faith in the
Almighty and justice and the will of God will prevail over all things.

Planned war on Iran and the General who said No!

The looming MASS ARRESTS and the virtual dissolution of "the sysem" as we now know it is going to put a permanent end to this madness. No WWIII, no more war machine, and no more war profiteering... http://tinyurl.com/cd5cyjo/
Israel might use an EMP weapon Iran's command control will be taken out with an EMP. 2nd stage will be missiles refited with convention war heads and subs. 3rd stage air stikes, i think it will happen in September...
Conventional Jehrico's over the top, with some Popeyes in reserve. Israel can build missiles faster then Iran can build reactors and refineries. Remember, Iran's soft spot is her lack of refining capacity. Once those and the transport off loading facilities have burned, Iran will be in trouble.
Israel could hit the refined petroleum product network incrementally, at will, reducing Iran's economy and the hard core's ability to suppress dissent, without touching the reactors and enrichment facilities. I would not be surprised to see things start slow, maybe a mysterious refinery fire, then another ....
Oh, you mean like Richmond, CA?
I would be really stunned to see the Saudis fly planes against Israel, seeing as how were supplying them the air craft.
Talking to a certain somebody ay Camp P. in O'side, Calif while they were testing remotley controlled boats w/ anti-mine submersiables. Isarel can take care of things in Iran in about 15 minutes, so said the Israeli defense minister to my friend. It is the US telling Israel NO....
