Khatami: America Attacks April 17th
2006-03-16
The former reformist president of Iran, Mohammed Khatami, believes the option of a military strike by Washington is being seriously considered by the Pentagon.

The daily Rooz on Line, close to the reformists, on Thursday reported that in a recent meeting in Tehran, Khatami revealed to a selected group some details of a message from the White House.

According to the online daily, in the message relayed by an emissary of the White House to Khatami on a recent visit to Berlin, the American warned him of their intention to bomb Iran's nuclear installations if the government continued enriching uranium.

Rooz on Line goes on to quote Khatami, as saying that in the American message there was reference to an approximate date of an attack. "One month after the first meeting of the UN Security Council on the Iranian dossier," which is scheduled for Friday.

The Internet daily adds that on his return from Germany, Khatami immediately informed the authorities of the contents of the message.

#20  "Why? You got some inside info perhaps? If yes, spill it."

What? That's a bizarre response.

You posted a declarative statement:
Won't. Happen. Without. Israel.

I asked YOU for an explanation. I was hoping you had something interesting to back it up. Then you went squirrelly off into the ozone. Sheesh.

#19  Whether the USA = US-Allies does or doesn't, the Mullahs and the IRGC know they can't stop it, and that the Army and USDOD will have contingency for any Nuke/WMD use.

#7  No way, that's only two days after tax day.

Actually, due to the 15th being on a Saturday, tax day will officially fall on the 17th. Mebbe he's onto something. After all, America will be at peak rage just then.
