| Another Reason to Bomb Iran |

| While everyone has been focused, and rightly so, on the danger that a nuclear Iran would pose to the future of Israel and the West, there is another side effect of the international community's ongoing inaction that has been largely overlooked. And that is the arms race that will inevitably result throughout the Persian Gulf, and the entire Middle East, should Tehran be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Indeed, the first signs of it have already begun to appear. Just yesterday, at a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, six Arab states - Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates – all declared that they too now have atomic ambitions, and would like to obtain the technology necessary to start producing nuclear energy. Of course, they were quick to insist that it would be for "peaceful purposes" only, but no one can really take this claim very seriously. Why the sudden interest in nuclear research? Well, it really isn't too hard to guess the answer: all six of the countries involved live within range of Iran, which is busily speeding forward with impunity towards joining the nuclear club. In other words, by allowing Iran to go nuclear, the world is setting the stage for a mad arms race throughout the entire region, as country after country seeks to protect itself from the threat posed by atomic ayatollahs. It should be clear what this would mean – not only for the safety and security of Israel, but for that of the entire Western world. Just one more reason why it is time for the US and/or Israel to bomb Iran, sooner rather than later….. |

| #5 Muslim/Islamic govts know world Islam is in dire need of reform + modernization, and they also must be aware that Radical Iran wants to be the SOLE SOURCE, REGIONAL = GLOBAL, of pan-Islamic thought and power. Iff Radical Iran devs nukes, ISTANBUL, CAIRO, + MECCA, ETC. KNOW THEY"LL BE SO MUCH FUTURE GLOWING DEADMEAT AS ISLAMIC CENTRES OF INFLUENCE. They also know any surreal ISRAEL = USA's destruction DOES NOT MEAN ANYONE IS SAFE. POL PRAGMATISM/REALISM > means an ARMS RACE, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. |

| #4 Note the discussion of Po 210 in that previous video. Iran trying to produce it for an a bomb initiation in particular. Does this tie into the London 210 stuff? |

| #1 The same notion occurred to me. The Arabs have known or at least suspected for a very long time that Israel has nukes. They also know (or suspect) that Israel won't resort to the Sampson Option unless Israel is facing extinction. Knowing this they (the Arabs) did not build nukes. (Did they buy a nuke? I don't know but I doubt it if someone thought the nuke could be traced to it's country of origin). Only thing that is different now is that Iran is building a nuke(s). Now the Arabs want there own. Does this sudden Arab interest in nukes tell us anything about how close the Persians are to having their own nukes? Does the sudden interest tell us anything about what the Arabs think the Persian intent is for Iranian nukes? There is a story on RB today where we learn the intel experts in the USA use (if not rely on) google. I'm of the opinion (but can't prove) that the Arabs have better intel inside Iran than does the USA or any Western power. What does the House of Saud know that the USA does not? What does this sudden Arab need for nuclear power tell us about Iran? The lack of Arab interst in having their own nukes when they knew Israel had them says one thing. The Arab need for nukes now that Persia is building 'em tells us something else. |
