International Conflict, Western World Threats and Geopolitical Intelligence

Plagued by optimism

Posted by Matt in July 13th, 2008

Like Camus’ Oranians, who refused to believe in the plague, we are in grave danger of underestimating Iran

Have some commentators responded to the Iranian regime’s threat to the state of Israel in the same way as Oranians? The question is raised in a new study (PDF) by Joshua Teitelbaum, an academic who lays out exactly what the Iranian president and other Iranian leaders have been saying about doing away with Israel, and how far it all is from the efforts among western commentators to exculpate and minimise.

Juan Cole of the University of Michigan has claimed that Ahmadinejad did not say Israel ‘must be wiped off the map’ but merely that ‘he hoped its regime … would collapse’. Teitelbaum shows that Ahmadinejad not only punctuates his speeches with “Death to Israel” (marg bar Esraiil) but on Iranian TV on June 2, 2008, he said “Thanks to God, your wish will soon be realised, and this germ of corruption will be wiped off the face of the earth”.

Nuclear Threat is from Israel NOT Iran.
Ezer Weizman once said "The nuclear issue is gaining momentum [and the] next war will not be conventional." From the 1950s the US trained Israeli nuclear scientists and providing nuclear technology, including a small 'research' reactor in 1955 under the 'Atoms for Peace' program. The French built a uranium reactor and plutonium reprocessing plant in the Negev desert, called Dimona. The Israelis lied, stating it was "a manganese plant, or a textile factory". In return for uranium, Israel supplied South Africa with the technology and expertise that allowed the white supremacist regime to build the "apartheid bomb". In 1979 US satellite photographs revealed the atmospheric test of a nuclear bomb in the Indian Ocean off South Africa, Israel's involvement was quickly whitewashed by a...

Obama: Iran Doesn't Pose a Threat...Iran is a Grave Threat
John McCain criticized Obama over his weekend statement that Iran "wouldn't stand a chance" at threatening the U.S. On May 18th Barack Obama said that Iran doesn't pose a serious threat to the US or the World. Then on May 20th he said; "Iran is a grave threat," Obama said in Billings, Montana. "It has an illicit nuclear program, it supports terrorism across the region and militias in Iraq, it threatens Israel's existence, it denies the holocaust.

I know both candidates -- both of you expressed support for Israel. If, despite your best diplomatic efforts, Iran attacks Israel, would you be willing to commit U.S. troops in support and defense of Israel? Or would you wait on approval from the U.N. Security Council? SEN. MCCAIN: Well, thank you, Terry, and thank you for your service to the country. I want to say, everything I ever learned about leadership I learned from a chief petty officer. And I thank you. And I thank you, my friend. Thanks for serving. Let, let, let me say that we obviously would not wait for the United Nations Security Council. I...

Press Officer, stated: "It is not amazing at all, the pick-and-choose approach of highlighting the misinterpreted remarks of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in October and ignoring this month's remarks by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that "We have no problem with the world.

Iran missile test a threat? 07/09/08
The tests occurred at a time of increased tension between Iran and Israel over Tehran's disputed nuclear program, which the West fears is aimed at making bombs. Iran says its nuclear program is only for power generation. State Press TV said the missiles tested by Iran's Revolutionary Guards included a "new" Shahab 3 missile, which officials have said could reach targets 1,250 miles away.

The D Word-Part 3 (2of2) Hormuz-Iran-Israel-Oil-Embargos
This part of The D Word explores the 3rd great threat to global economic collapse, the possibility of an overnight cessation of economic activity due to a sudden disruption of our oil supply. This would likely end our economic way of living in a matter of days or weeks. We must prepare for a possible nuclear war or conflict between Israel and Iran, or other nations in the Strait of Hormuz.

Has The Campaign Against Iran Already Begun?
While Iran was the one of the key points of discussion during President George W. Bush's visit to Israel, the Islamic Republic's nuclear program  continues to pose a threat to  the entire world. Until now no action has been taken against Iran, as was the case of Syria, instead world leaders have imposed sanctions which so far have failed to produce results.In a recent explosion at a mosque in Shiraz in southern Iran, 14 people were killed and 200 wounded. Iran blames Israel and the United States for supporting armed divisions inside Iran in an attempt to destabilize Ahmadinejad's regime. On the other hand, the United States blames Iran for supporting terror organizations in Iraq, Lebanon and Ga

But the bad news is that all my little five-minute things have run over. So anyhow, we'll adjust as we get there. But the amount of time is even. New, new, new lead question and it goes two minutes to you, Senator McCain. What is your reading of the threat from Iran right now to the security of the United States? SEN. MCCAIN: My reading of the threat from Iran is that if Iran acquires nuclear weapons, it's an existential threat to the state of Israel. And it is a threat to the region, because the other countries in the region will feel a compelling requirement to acquire nuclear weapons as well. Now, we cannot allow a...

Bush Speaks on Iran Being Nuclear Threat
Bush claims Iran is the worlds largest threat. And worlds largest sponsor to terrorists. He also thinks diplomacy with Iran is like bargaining with hitler and it would get no where. but he uses some very fancy terminology when he spoke about "appeasement" being discredited by history. Which is considered a personal attack on Barack Obama because he thinks we should use diplomacy.
