The only way for Israel to hide the crime of 911 is to commit an even bigger crime in the hope that America and its people are thus terminally wounded, and unless thermo nuclear with Russia results, then all their past crimes against America will be uncovered.

So, as the mass terror against Iran can really wait, but the destruction of America can’t, what makes Israel so sure that WW3 will be the hoped for result ? And why do they in their fond hubristic imaginings of themselves think that they themselves will not be wiped away within days of the serious shit hitting the fan ? As after all, of the tens of thousands of nukes available only a dozen would be used which leaves plenty plenty poised to go, and with breaks in the of chains of command on both sides there will be plenty of missile commanders who will be thinking of Israel with `affection`.

It could be argued that all missiles will be launched at the same time lest the silo or submarine or aircraft itself is destroyed, but that may not happen as the whole planet would die.

More likely it will be a very nervy time as only a few cities will be taken out on a tit for tat basis, before they start talking to each other again.

The other restraint would be that both America and Russia would be acutely aware that Israel would be grinning itself silly on the sidelines waiting to inherit the earth.

And neither Russia nor America will ultimately allow that, and so `accidentally` or through some `rogue` missile commanders, a few missiles would be loosed from both sides, but not at each other.

Is overkill the right word at this point ?

TEHRAN (FNA)- Two former US national security advisers have warned against threatening to attack Iran even if negotiations do not immediately stop Iran’s uranium reprocessing program.

“Don’t talk about ‘do we bomb them (Iranians) now or later?” Brent Scowcroft, adviser to presidents Gerald R. Ford and George H. W. Bush, was quoted Washington Post as saying on Wednesday.

By mentioning that threat, “we legitimize the use of force… and may tempt the Israelis” to carry out such a mission, Scowcroft said during a discussion on the negotiations between the United States and Iran.

Zbigniew Brezezinski, adviser to former US president Jimmy Carter, also described the Bush administration’s policy of maintaining the option of military action as “counterproductive.”

“I don’t want the public to believe a preemptive attack can be justified,” he said. Repeating the possibility “convinces Iran it is being threatened… and maybe it ought to have a (nuclear) weapon.”

Brezezinski said that a US attack on Iran would be a “disaster,” suggesting it could result in the US fighting “for at least two decades” on four fronts — Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
