Iran Sought Advice in Pakistan on Attack
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/w-asia/2006/may/12/051208705.html

Pakistan's former army chief says Iranian officials came to him for advice on heading off an attack on their nuclear facilities, and he in effect advised them to take a hostage - Israel.

Retired Gen. Mirza Aslam Beg said he suggested their government "make it clear that if anything happens to Iran, if anyone attacks it - it doesn't matter who it is or how it is attacked - that Iran's answer will be to hit Israel; the only target will be Israel."

Since Beg spoke in an interview with The Associated Press, echoes of his thinking have been heard in Iran, though whether they result directly from his advice isn't known.

Mohammad Ebrahim Dehghani, an Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander, was quoted last week as saying that if "America does make any mischief, the first place we target will be Israel." The threat was disavowed the next day by Brig. Gen. Alireza Afshar, deputy to the chief of Iran's military staff, who said it was Dehghani's "personal view and has no validity as far as the Iranian military officials are concerned."

1. Iran stories are increasing at an exponential rate.
In addition to this, Iran will retaliate by launching their intercontinental radio controlled hybrid drones of mass destruction towards the infidels of the west.

2. Naw, they will use small armies of pinnipeds with baskets strapped to
their backs to attack ports here.

Aggressive sea lion menacing docks at Berkeley Marina


Cicero A. Estrella, Chronicle Staff Writer

Friday, May 12, 2006

Authorities are looking for ways to deter an aggressive sea lion that attacked three people at the Berkeley Marina this week.

-->Smith said the sea lion jumped onto the harbor dock, bit his crew member Twani Houston on the ankle and tried to drag her into the water. A second crew member grabbed Houston by the arm, Smith said.

5. Pretty sound defense policy.
If anyone attacks Iran, Japan for example, retaliatory target would be Israel. That way, it is in Israel's interests to keep Iran safe. Pretty sound defense policy indeed.

7. Either way Israelis will be at the receiving end...
...of whatever Iranians got cooking. Jews shouldn't have set up shop in that part of the world if they can't deal with this kind of stuff. I mean, what did they think would happen? Oh wait, I see, a global crusade against Islam. Well, I hope their anti-missile shield is up and running, because as number of predominately Muslims nations that go nuclear increases, I'm afraid so does the number of nukes pointed as Israel. Saudi Arabia is most certainly already nuclear, Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey, as well some of the Stans in central Asia, have the technology/resources, and can go nuclear at the time of their choosing. I'm also sure Pakistan has few nukes with Israel's name on them.

If Israelis can't deal with that, they can always move back to Europe and wait for another Holocaust, courtesy of the whitey.
