'Ahmadinejad would sacrifice half of Iran to wipe out Israel'
The JPost has a pulse-quickening story (hat tip: NewsVine) about leadership succession in Iran. It contemplates the Mullahs handing over full control to President Iran's president routinely urges listeners to imagine a "world without America or Zionism" and exhorts his audiences to chant "Death to America." A while back, after listening to this rhetoric for months, Mark Steyn asked whether we should, "wait 'til we we've got absolute definitive 100% proof that [Iran's] got WMD - the absolute definitive 100% proof being a smoking crater where Tel Aviv used to be, or maybe London."
But I guess this story still isn't big enough for the likes of the New York Times.
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, if he ever became the supreme decision maker in his country, would "sacrifice half of Iran for the sake of eliminating Israel," Giora Eiland, Israel's former national security adviser, told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday. At present, Eiland stressed, the ultimate decision maker in Iran was Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, 67, whom he said was "more reasonable." But, Eiland went on, "if Ahmadinejad were to succeed him - and he has a reasonable chance of doing so - then we'd be in a highly dangerous situation..." |
A commenter provides an unverifiable -- yet ominous -- postscript:
| Israel's response to Iran's nuclear pursuit has already been formulated. Either Iran backs down or there will be a strike the likes of which world has never seen. Plans already made to divide Iran into sectors for strike by each of the coalition. Advanced weapon systems (including tactical nuclear munitions) have already been transferred to coalition states. Strategy and gaming have been underway a year. Ahmadinejad and regime's days are numbered. Only thing that will stop attack is Iran's acceptance to complete and verifiable halt to UF6 enrichment. As world will soon see, Iran is defenseless against oncoming onslaught. Initial attack will cut communications & GCI rendering Tehran blind. Iranian aircraft taking flight will be downed well before leaving its airspace. Larger missile silos/bases will be targeted in initial strike, leaving only mobile launched missile threat. Israel has decided to absorb sizeable conventional missile attack.... |
