CIA head: J’lem knows not to attack Iran
Jerusalem Post
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
CIA director Leon Panetta on Wednesday said that Jerusalem knew it needed to coordinate its strategy on Iran with other nations and was aware of the fact that launching an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities would mean “big trouble.”
Acknowledging that he had recently traveled to Israel in order to meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and warn him against striking Iran, the CIA chief told Global Viewpoint that he “felt assured” Israel would not break ranks with Washington’s strategy.
“Yes,” he said, “the Israelis are obviously concerned about Iran and focused on it. But [Netanyahu] understands that if Israel goes it alone, it will mean big trouble. He knows that for the sake of Israeli security, they have to work together with others.”
Panetta said that the threat posed by Iran “has our full attention,” asserting that despite the Obama administration’s strategic decision to engage Teheran diplomatically, “no one is naïve about the challenges.”
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
Panetta reiterated a 2007 National Intelligence Estimate which assessed that Iran had halted its active nuclear weaponization program in 2003, but warned that, “at a minimum” the Islamic republic was “keeping open the option to develop deliverable nuclear weapons” and “continues to develop uranium enrichment technology and nuclear-capable ballistic missiles.”
The CIA head said assessing Iran’s intentions was “a top priority” for the US. He said Iran was “not an easy intelligence target.”

That also being said, indicates if an attack does occur the treachery also rests on the US government’s shoulders as they would “know” and they actually fund everything Israeli. They seriously need to stop with excessive wars and threats for everything they are upset about they have done or do them damned selves which makes all US and Israeli policies hypocritical. Many things done are also in violation of international law and human rights. Nothing has changed……… Obama… So no wonder no one has faith in any of these officials anymore.

No one has any faith in government officials anymore because the truth is becoming to obvious to ignore, despite the incessant media smokescreen…
The politicians don’t start wars over things they are upset about or feel threatened by. The politicians start wars because the people that fund their election campaigns demand it. The people that fund the political system and individual politicians’ careers profit massively from the carnage and insist on warfare for their own deranged reasons.
The government officials are puppets, actors and patsies.
We might want to take a look at who we’re supporting and rethink how we’re managing our societies, perhaps?

Always amazes me how the US is so concerned about other countries being less responsible than us with nukes. Especially, since we are the only country that has ever used them. Also, I remember going to NBC school during the “Limited Nuclear” weapon strategy time period. What a crock of shit that was. Believe me, if someone just nuked your country and killed a few million people with a single bomb, you will retaliate as hard as you can. STrange how Stalin may have literally saved the world after WWII with their nuke development. Letting Truman know that enough is enough was the only thing that kept us from just nuking the fuck out of everyone. We had the biggest stick and were intent on banging everyone who disagreed with us with that stick. Stalin for a Nobel Peace Prize anyone? Not that I am a Stalinist, just making my point that we are definitely not the shining light of liberty by a long fucking shot.

Well said and agreed the US is the only country to have used nuclear weapons.As for the US pretending to be in disagreement with Israel that is nothing but a ploy. They are giving Iran until the end of the year according to Obama to change it’s stance ( in other words to do as Israel says) which means at the end of the year the US will fully support a strike on Iran.

WW3 is on the horizon, the fall out from attacking the plant will be worse then Chernobyl. It will have world wide ramifications for decades to come, Russia and middle eastern states may retaliate and drag the U.S. into a war we can’t handle, this will cause a huge riase in anti Semitic hate world wide and here in America as well, truly a extra ordainary backlash will come of this. P.M Nuttyahoo is very dangerous man and warmonger. And were are we going to get money from to fight a 4th front China? I think not they may join in the party kicking are ass. Isreal is going to attack Iran with or without the United States and damn the world. Primadonna Isreal like a spoiled child will do what they want.

from what i hear the ‘white hats’ in the ptb and military are basically sat on the silos in israel ..

There is no such thing as an independent Israel, never has been, and never will be. EVERY MILITARY OPERATION YOU WERE TOLD WAS ISRAELI ACTUALLY INVOLVED THE US ARMY, BOTH MAN-POWER AND EQUIPMENT. This included the recent Holocaust in Gaza.
Israel serves two purposes. Firstly as a leash on the rabid, racist, zionist population of the planet. Secondly as a stick to keep the oil rich ‘arabs’ in line.
Israel is a french, russian, american and british project, although different combinations of these four have been seemingly prominent at differing times in Israel’s history.
Alex Jones pushes the zionist lie of an independent Israel, capable and willing of making its own choices just as hard as he can. These days, an attack by Israel is an attack by Tony ‘Hitler II’ Blair, the highest known-name political authority on the Earth at this time in History. Of course, even for Blair, this isn’t as easy to accomplish as flipping a switch, which is why Blair seemingly operates half the time these days out of Israel.
Note that Jones tells you to focus on Bilderberg, even though no really important person actually goes there (some of today’s truly powerful individuals did attend earlier in their careers, it’s true).
Anyway, Blair has the world moving in exactly the direction he needs, with an accelerating program of police-state directives in every significant nation. His next military move is required to be of massively greater significance, and will be carefully crafted in every possible way. False-flag, attack on Iran, civil war in Pakistan, whatever- it doesn’t much matter so long as it triggers an ever rolling sequence of events that rapidly set the world ablaze in a third industrialised world war.

The U.S. playing both sides of the game again. Push one against the other and see who strikes first.Back Iran w/o “backing”Iran and push Israel into thinking that they are doing the right thing by attacking the Iranians because of the threat of nukes.Either way, its all a bunch of bullshit and the govt. knows it.

I got reamed once, it was a bit uncomfortable at first, but it was worth it! Look how well I am doing now! I still suffer from the occasional bowel problem but I am learning to cope, excuse me but I need to go off and pass some more wind (fart)

Israel would NEVER attack Iran without the 100% backing of the US, they know it would be suicide to do such a thing. Iran is many times larger than Israel, has many more people that are actually dedicated to it’s cause and they also have the moral advantage over Israel.
The one MAJOR disadvantage Iran has is the fact that Israel has HUNDREDS of NUCLEAR BOMBS!
The only way Israel could win over Iran is by initiating an attack on them using their NUCLEAR arsenal which has already been discussed by Israel.
If the US Government allows this attack on Iran to happen, you will know what nation controls Amerika by blackmail, coercion and corruption within both governments who care not weather your children die for ISRAEL.
Ezekiel Emanuel wants to adopt the Hitler method of EUGENICS and OBAMA says OK!

Israel is too big for its yamakas. IMO Israel believes that if it does strike Iran, the U.S., Britian, Russia and others will have no choice but to send in the calvary. The U.S. knows that such a strike will be Israel’s undoing as it will then face the wrath of those middle eastern countries who would like nothing more than to see it destroyed. The U.S., Britian and Russia do not want WWIII, simply because their economies cannot sustain the cost. If Israel takes that step, I believe it will be quickly reined in and controlled. Something that should have been done a long, long time ago. Obama has been setting himself up as the prince of peace and it is highly unlikely that he is going to allow Israel to throw a monkey wrench into his plans. He is going to have to take a harsh stance against Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands and its atrosities in order to change the way middle eastern countries, including Iran view the United States.

1:1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
1:2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
1:3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
1:4 The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
Psalm 2
2:1 Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,
2:3 “Let’s break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us.”
2:4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord will have them in derision.
2:5 Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
2:6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
2:7 I will tell of the decree.
Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
2:10 Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
2:11 Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
2:12 Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Hi,
Amen to that wisdom, and the wrath of the Lord will soon come upon All the Nations of the world:
Isaiah 13:6-9 Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. {7} Because of this, all hands will go limp, every man’s heart will melt. {8} Terror will seize them, pain and anguish will grip them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at each other, their faces aflame. {9} See, the day of the LORD is coming –a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger– to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.
Isaiah 13:11,13 I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless. {13} Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.
Isaiah 10:20 In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 14:1 The LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
Joel 2:10-13 Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles, the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine. {11} The LORD thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number, and mighty are those who obey his command. The day of the LORD is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it? {12} ‘Even now,’ declares the LORD, ‘return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.’ {13} Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.
Amos 8:9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.
Rev 6:12-14 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, {13} and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. {14} The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. {15} Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. {16} They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! {17} For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
God Bless….

Netanyahu and Lieberman seem like the right formula that will lead to the ultimate destruction of the illuminati created project called Israel.
They seem to be operating without logic and any form of forward thinking, there goes the misbelief that all jews are smart, well, there is a pair of dullards.
“Israel” simply doesnt understand that there are trillions of dollars from oil and weapons sales involved here, will the Illuminati allow them to blow that by starting a mideast wide war, or will the the iluminati request the US or Russia to destroy Israel?
As strange at this sounds , the US might have to destroy Israel in order to retain the Status quoa.
Have the “Israelis” consider that like any other country they are expendable?
The “Israelis’ are worrying about the wrong country.

Look at all the religious psychos here threatening everyone with stupid passages from the book of lies aka the bible. They live and breathe for the day their imaginary superbuddy will bring his imaginary army of clowns to destroy the planet and make way for the glorious eternity they will have to revel in their self righteousness. Lets define ‘eternity’ shall we? And by the way all you armchair generals who are so sure your plan or your hypothesis about future events is an absolute dead on prediction, I don’t think so. Maybe Israel should just roll over and die, tell all its citizens that several comments on prisonplanet.com changed their minds and they now believe they are the evil ones, not the murderous animals known as hamas and hizbullah. Defend them all you want, they would kill you and your family with a smile on their radical muslim face while you protected their right to do so. Israelis have no such ambition and did not cheer when Americans died on 9-11 regardless of the circumstances surrounding that day. Palestinians did, they handed out candy at the thought of an attack on us and cheered in the street. Maybe you would prefer to live under islamic law, Iran has only PEACEFUL intentions right?? No hatred of Israel, no threats no deliberate provocations IED’s stuff of that nature. Oh I forgot its all American propoganda and all of you are so intelligent that you see right through the Zionist Conspiracy.

The US needs to reign in Israel and the Russian-Sino alliance needs to reign in Iran. Right now Both powers are waging a proxy war against each other using two third world countries located in a sandbox.
This is why we are starting to hear of de-nuclearisation planet wide but with a first phase the third world sandlots. I believe the Russians,Chinese and Americans have already agreed in theory that they need to remove nuclear weapons from the middle east and that includes Israel, Pakistan,Iran and possibly India.
While Israel has a right to exist, announcing new settlements the day before meeting Obama was extremely hostile and has irrepairably harmed their relationship with the current administration. Worst case scenario the Israelis believe that the US is secretly accepting the idea that Iran will possess nuclear weapon and be faced with a freeze with its middle east enemies. The US lived with it for 40 years. Why can’t the Israelis?
Let’s not forget that the Americans financed and supply weapons to Saddam to kill Iranians for 10 years. Americans installed the Sha in the 1970’s. Iran’s revolution is a creation of the Americans.
Finaly if Israel goes it alone against Iran it will solve the problem for the US as it will isolate itself from the world and the US will have justification to turn its back on Israel. No trade, no money, no free weapons. Attacking Iran will destroy Israel as a nation. They have already been kicked out of the Soviet Union, the last thing they want is to piss off the US.
Does the middle east hate America and Great Britain? Absolutely but with good reason.

For a website that thinks highly of itself for exposing various elements of psychological warfare plus the normalizing of the US military in US streets and schools, what the hell are you doing here by using an Obamism – talking about Jerusalem as being the capital of power in Israyehell.
The original article only mentions Jerusalem, not the body in ‘reporting’ what Panetta said (or rather, as is the case here, what he DIDN”T say). It’s a work of subterfuge by some Jerusalem post journo hack.
Get with it guys!
