Iran has identified U.S., Israel “weak points
.
Tehran, Iran, Apr. 17 – Iran’s military has “fully identified the weak points of the United States and Israel” and has already determined how to deal with the U.S. if it attacked the oil-rich nation, a top military commander said on Monday.
“If there is a war, the enemy will not be able to escape from our forces”, Brigadier General Seyyed Abdol-Rahim Moussavi, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff of the armed forces, told the state-run news agency Fars.
The general said the army would put on display “new military hardware” at a parade by the armed forces on Tuesday.
“Some of the new military hardware which can be made public will be put on display during tomorrow’s parade”, he said, without further elaboration.
If Iran was attacked, Moussavi said,:
“The enemies will face types of weapons which they would have never been able to imagine”.

Donald Rumsfeld: Media Sees Military as ‘Other Side’
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said Monday that journalists covering the Iraq war no longer want to be embedded with U.S. military units because they viewed American troops as “the other side.”
In an interview Monday with EIB Radio host Rush Limbaugh, Rumsfeld noted that “far fewer journalists . . . have stepped up to become embedded” compared to the early days of the war.

The defense chief recalled:
“I asked one reporter about that, and there was kind of the impression left that, ‘Well, if you got embedded then you were really part of the problem instead of part of the solution and you were almost going over to the other side.'”
Rumsfeld then added:
“I think that’s an inexcusable thought, and I don’t know if that’s the case with all reporters.”
The Pentagon leader said that before the press grew disenchanted with it, he considered the military’s embed program to have been a significant success.
“A lot of people who are reporters and journalists were able to work with our troops and see precisely how terrific they are, the wonderful job they do, the kinds of people they are, how professional they are,” he told Limbaugh. “And the rest of their lives they’re going to have an impression of the American military that will be good for journalism, in my view.”
Rumsfeld said he wasn’t overly troubled by recent criticism by six retired generals who have called on him to resign, telling Limbaugh:
“If you started chasing, running around chasing public opinion polls or a handful of people who are critics of this or critics on that, you wouldn’t get anywhere in this world.”
Instead he said he was pleased that former Joint Chiefs Chairman, Gen. Richard Myers, former CENTCOM Commander Tommy Franks, his second in command, Gen. Mike DeLong and Admiral Vern Clark have issued supportive statements in recent days.
Rushlimbaugh.com | Transcript | Rumsfeld | Excerpt:
I think we just have to accept it, that people have a right to say what they want to say, and to have an acceptance of that and recognize that the terrorists, Zarqawi and bin Laden and Zawahiri, those people have media committees. They are actively out there trying to manipulate the press in the United States. They are very good at it. They’re much better at (laughing) managing those kinds of things than we are, and we have to recognize that we’re not going to lose any battles out in the global war on terror out in Iraq or Afghanistan. The center of gravity of that war is right here, and in the capital of the United States of America and other Western capitals, in London, they’re trying. It’s a test of wills, and what’s at stake for our country is our way of life.

Western journalists are now primarily interested in being embedded with terrorists. The terrorists are the noble truth tellers in this saga. The American military is cruel deception and torture. Time’s Michael Ware comes to mind.
We need to adapt to a post-treason world and start telling the world bluntly as it is. Too many journalists want our soldiers to die and for terrorists to ’embarrass Bush’
Top sheikh: Jerusalem Islamic nation’s capital
Marking anniversary of prophet Muhammad’s birth, 30,000 Muslims gather in Kfar Kana soccer stadium in event organized by Islamic Movement; leader Shiekh Salah calls for return of Jerusalem to Arab, Palestinian, Muslim hands
Marking anniversary of prophet Muhammad’s birth, 30,000 Muslims gather in Kfar Kana soccer stadium in event organized by Islamic Movement; leader Shiekh Salah calls for return of Jerusalem to Arab, Palestinian, Muslim hands
More than 30,000 Arab-Israeli Muslims participated in a massive protest Saturday night at the Kfar Kana soccer stadium marking the anniversary of the prophet Muhammad’s birth.
The event was organized by the Islamic Movement, headed by Sheikh Sheikh Raed Salah. A huge stage in the shape of a heart was set up at the center of the site, and the words “Prophet Muhammad” were written across the center of it, Israel’s leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.
The event was broadcast live on television throughout the Middle East and elsewhere by Al-Jazeera, and Sheikh Salah addressed the Arab world, calling on them to “save Jerusalem from the hands of the Jews,” who, he said, were collecting millions of dollars to reinforce their grip on the city.
“Jerusalem will soon be the capital of the world Islamic nation, and it will be governed by a caliph,” Salah said. “The Six Days War hasn’t ended since 1967, and it continues in Jerusalem,” he added.
‘They want to starve our people’
According to the Muslim leader, the millions of dollars invested by Israel in Jerusalem will be for naught.
“They want to build a temple instead of the al-Aqsa mosque, and that will never happen,” he said, and appealed to the Arab world to establish a fund to “save Jerusalem” from the Jews and restore it as an exclusively Arab, Palestinian and Muslim city.
Regarding the Palestinian situation, Salah expounded at length about the Israeli siege of the Palestinian territories, especially since Hamas’ victory in the parliamentary elections.
“They want to starve our people. Will you let them?” Salah demanded of his audience.
A Palestinian suicide bomber has struck a falafel restaurant in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv
The attack took place on busy street near a bus station in the Neve Shaanan area, during the Jewish festival of Passover.
A number of people were killed, and dozens were injured in the first such attack since Hamas took power.
The Palestinian militant group, Islamic Jihad, said one of its members carried out the bombing.
The Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, immediately condemned the violence and described it as a terrorist act.
However, the governing militant group Hamas said it was a legitimate response to Israeli “aggression”.

Eight Dead and 50 Wounded in Tel Aviv Suicide Bombing

An Arab suicide bomber, detonated a large explosive at a Tel Aviv fast food stand in the Neveh Sha’anan neighborhood Monday afternoon, killing at least eight civilians.
At least 50 persons were wounded, with 15 sustaining moderate to severe injuries. The wounded have been evacuated to local hospitals, among them, Ichilov, Beilinson, Wolfson, and Tel Hashomer.
Of those seriously injured, at least five are reported to be in critical condition.
An eye-witness at the scene, Rafi Hayun, told Israel Radio that the terrorist was a female. He estimated that five persons, aside from the terrorist, were killed in the attack. That figure has since been confirmed by official sources. The identity of the terrorist has not been confirmed.
Police are investigating how the terrorist reached the Tel Aviv destination and whether any assistance was received by other terrorists still in the vicinity.
The Islamic Jihad terror group and the Al Aksa Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah party, have claimed responsibility for the attack. Fatah is the party of PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) leader Mahmoud Abbas, and his predecessor, PLO terrorist chieftain Yassir Arafat.
In 1993, Israel signed the Oslo Accords and ceded control of heavily populated Arab areas to the Palestinian Authority. When the accords were signed, the PLO and its largest component, Fatah, pledged in writing to refrain from carrying out terrorist attacks or from using violence of any kind against Israel.
The Al Aksa Brigades and the Islamic Jihad have been cooperating extensively to carry out terrorist attacks against Israel, especially since Hamas won a pivotal parliamentary election in the Palestinian Authority last January.
The fast food felafel stand, “Rosh Ha-Ir,” in the vicinity of Tel Aviv’s former central bus station, was the site of a terrorist attack three months ago. Thrity-two people were injured in that attack which was also carried out by the Islamic Jihad.
Following Monday’s latest attack, Police Commissioner Moshe Karadi, put the nation on maximum alert, out of concern that the inauguration of the 17th Knesset, scheduled for 4:00 this afternoon will serve as a pretext for more attacks.
As of Monday afternoon, Israel’s security apparatus was faced with the threat of 19 specific terrorist attacks, warning of an impending attack at a specific time and place. Eighty more general threats of attack have been reported to Israel’s intelligence agencies.
Karadi noted that the police had no specific warning of the impending terrorist attack in Tel Aviv.
According to latest reports, a blue Mitsubishi, suspected of being the vehicle that transported the suicide bomber to his target in Tel Aviv, has been stopped by the IDF at the Ofir roadblock on Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway 443, near Ramallah in the Binyamin area. A number of persons in the car have been arrested and are being questioned by security agencies.

The only comment I have is I hope and pray they go after anyone,anytime, anywhere that brings death to any Israeli. No excuses, no lengthy discussion of why it is necessary or not, nor why they should hold off. NO, I have had ENOUGH of this BS and discussions. It is time to fight back and fight back with a vengence!

Iran suicide bombers ‘ready to hit Britain’
IRAN has formed battalions of suicide bombers to strike at British and American targets if the nation’s nuclear sites are attacked. According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers are ready for action.
The main force, named the Special Unit of Martyr Seekers in the Revolutionary Guards, was first seen last month when members marched in a military parade, dressed in olive-green uniforms with explosive packs around their waists and detonators held high.
Dr Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said in a speech that 29 western targets had been identified:“We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.” He added that some of them were “quite close” to the Iranian border in Iraq.
In a tape recording heard by The Sunday Times, Abbasi warned the would-be martyrs to “pay close attention to wily England” and vowed that “Britain’s demise is on our agenda”.
At a recruiting station in Tehran recently, volunteers for the force had to show their birth certificates, give proof of their address and tick a box stating whether they would prefer to attack American targets in Iraq or Israeli targets.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned last Friday that Israel was heading towards “annihilation”. He was speaking at a Tehran conference on Palestinian rights aimed at promoting Iran as a new Middle Eastern superpower.
According to western intelligence documents leaked to The Sunday Times, the Revolutionary Guards are in charge of a secret nuclear weapons programme designed to evade the scrutiny of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
One of the leaked reports, dating from February this year, confirms that President George W Bush is preparing to strike Iran. “If the problem is not resolved in some way, he intends to act before leaving office because it would be ‘unfair’ to leave the task of destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities to a new president,” the document says.
Alireza Jafarzadeh, a former spokesman for National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an opposition group, said a secret, parallel military programme was under way. According to sources inside Iran, the Revolutionary Guards were constructing underground sites that could be activated if Iran’s known nuclear facilities were destroyed.
The NCRI is the political wing of the Mujaheddin-e-Khalq, which is deemed a terrorist organisation in Britain and America. However, much of its information is considered to be “absolutely credible” by western intelligence sources after Jafarzadeh revealed the existence of the Natanz plant in 2002.
Within the past year, 14 large and several smaller projects have been created, according to Jafarzadeh. Several are designed to be nuclear factories; others are for the storage of weapons, he claimed.

The government in Iran needs its ass kicked hard. 40,000 trained suicide bombers? Good grief! Their rhetoric is on overkill!
Hey all you Revolutionary Guard Guys, most of us Amuricans hang out at a place in New York called the United Nations. But, please don’t bomb that, we use that as a place to make our films about your culture being bad and we use that as a place to plan wars against your country. We’d be really unhappy if you bombed our United Nations headquarters in New York City.
Let me know if you need the address.
