Iran

The Benny Morris op-ed in the NYT last Friday should provide convincing evidence that Israel really really really wants an attack against Iran sooner rather than later.  Morris is close to the Israeli government and his case that Iran must be bombed soon and with maximum conventional weaponry to avoid using nukes later was clearly intended to push the United States to do the attacking.

Debkafile's Washington sources report that president George W. Bush is closer than ever before to ordering a limited missile-air bombardment of the IRGC-al Qods Brigade’s installations in Iran. It is planned to target training camps and the munitions factories pumping fighters, missiles and roadside bombs to the Iraqi insurgency, Lebanese Hizballah and Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza.

Iran is geared up for counteraction.

Here is a list of the General Dynamic SuperFund sites. GE shares many of them. GE manufactures the 22 foot long "gattling gun" for the A-10 Warthog. It only uses 12" Depleted Uranium Shell. The A-10 is the primary source for "spreading" Depleted Uranium throught Iraq and Afghanistan. AT last count, the A-10's have spread nearly 465,000 tons of "GE.NBC Nuclear Manure". The equivalent radiation dose 130,000 Hiroshima bombs.
