Netanyahu warned of London bombings
Netanyahu changed plans due to pre-attacks warning
It's been reported that Israeli Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided not to attend an economic conference in London after the Israeli embassy received a pre-attack warning. A top Israel foreign ministry official said that the British police informed the Israeli embassy in London of possible attacks minutes before Thursday's attacks. Netanyahu was supposed to attend an economic conference in a hotel over the London subway stop where one of today's explosions took place, and the warning promoted him to change plans and stay in his hotel room instead, government officials said. |

Iunno if this London attack is gonna have enough impact to accomplish for them what you are saying, i think the Milatary industrial complex needs to create something on the 911 scale again and I truly believe we are very close to something big.

wow, Canada may be tangled up in this, but trust me we are not going to be drafted. were not americans here... Canadas laws state that the draft is not to be used except in the case when troops are needed To Defend Or Borders. the only other possiblity is passing a new law. this would require long proceedings in Legislation and is generaly considered that it would be shot down out flat or debated over a long period of time. if you are really insistant on not serving the millitary you should have months from the time the bill is declared to the time it passes to jump contry. even if our PM is going to alow the US to manipulate all his strings, which i admit he seems probable to do, anything he tryed would be likly to bring out a vote of no confidence. this is the kind of issue when that would be used. my oppinion its not going to happen for this feud. |

civil wars are fought within a single empire by definition. so Europe would need to unite before that can happen....

There are 3 main reasons this won't happen though. 1) Israel doesn't have the hardware to make it happen and would need material support from the US to make it possible. Beyond that Iran, learning from what happened to Iraq, has spread their nuclear program out over the country to a suspected 12+ different sites. So even if Israel with or without US support did launch a capable surgical strike to eliminate Iran's nuclear program it would be likely to fail. 2) My basic take on the situation is that Israel will act as an independent player but not if they go directly against US interests. They are basically a satellite state of the US within the Middle east after all. So the second reason that Israel will not attack Iran is that it would cause major problems for the US in Iraq. Iraq is made up of a Shiite majority that by and large are not active in the insurgency like the Sunni minority is. Iran is also a Shiite majority and any attack on Iran would likely incite Shiites to join the insurgency. Not only would this be a likely reaction of an attack by Israel on Iran but it would also be an obvious way to counter attack. As aggression by Israel is perceived as American aggression in the Middle East the likely response by Iran would be to start supporting the insurgency in Iraq and incite Shiites to support it as well. 3) Finally as I said a surgical strike is unlikely to wipe out Iran's nuclear program meaning that the only other realistic option would be a full scale ground invasion by the US. Without going into to much detail this won't happen simply because Iran is not defenceless. To the contrary they have a very capable army and would be able to inflict a much higher level of casualties than would be acceptable to the American public. Further more the US doesn't have the man power and would need to conscript soldiers. |
