BEIJING (AP) - China's President Hu Jintao was named chairman of a government military commission on Sunday, capping a generational transfer of power, and told the 2.5 million-member People's Liberation Army to be prepared for war on the eve of the expected passage of a law authorizing an attack if Taiwan declares formal independence.

This has me VERY concerned. It has been reported that they have underground tunnels and installations where they plan to continue their nuclear program in case of an attack.

Now, what happens if Israel and/or the U.S. does not fully eliminate those facilities and their capabilities? Well, that is where it can get very messy can't it?

If they are not fully taken out, Iran and a lot of the world will be ready to jump at Israel. Especially if something goes wrong and there is nuclear fallout strewn across the Middle East.

And what will Syria and/or Russia do after these attacks? Will those "non-existent" WMD's poke their heads out of Syria? Well, it's easy to see how prophecy could unveil itself and soon.

I too share your concern. It Could Very Well play out like this. It won't be a pleasant time, that's for certain! I also agree with the Urgency to reach the Lost before the time runs out. Perhaps these events unfolding like they are will help to soften the hearts of some and (according to God's Will) allow them to recieve the Truth that Jesus died for their sins and accept that sacrifice on their behalf

I, for one would like to see a full article rather than a summary or a few paragraphs taken out of context.

Israel plans strike on Iran nuclear plant

Israel plans strike on Iran nuclear plant
Sharon's inner cabinet gives initial green light

Israel has drawn up contingency plans for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to halt the Iranian nuclear program, according to a report in the Sunday London Times.

The inner cabinet of Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, gave "initial authorization" for an attack at a private meeting last month on his ranch in the Negev desert, according to the report.


Israeli forces reportedly have used a mock-up of Iran’s Natanz uranium enrichment plant in the desert for practice runs. Their tactics include raids by Israel’s elite Shaldag commando unit and airstrikes by F-15 jets from 69 Squadron, using bunker-busting bombs recently purchased from the U.S. to penetrate underground facilities.

The plans, said the Times, have been discussed with U.S. officials who are said to have indicated provisionally that they would not stand in Israel's way if all international diplomatic efforts to halt Iranian nuclear projects failed.

Tehran claims that its program is designed for peaceful purposes, but Israeli and American intelligence officials — who have met to share information in recent weeks — are convinced that it is intended to produce nuclear weapons.

Silvan Shalom, the Israeli foreign minister, said he believed that diplomacy was the only way to deal with the issue. But he warned: "The idea that this tyranny of Iran will hold a nuclear bomb is a nightmare, not only for us but for the whole world."

Vice President Dick Cheney said Friday that Iran would face "stronger action" if it failed to respond. But yesterday Iran rejected the initiative, which provides for entry to the World Trade Organization and a supply of spare parts for airliners if it co-operates.

"No pressure, bribe or threat can make Iran give up its legitimate right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes," said an Iranian spokesman.

U.S. officials warned last week that a military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities by Israeli or American forces had not been ruled out should the issue become deadlocked at the United Nations.

Well first off, any news source can be dysfunctional, look at our own media. Makes no difference what name they have.

Second, do you really think that Israel DOESN'T have plans for such an attack? I'm pretty sure they have had plans in place for quite some time. They made plans in 1981 for Iraq, and they will do the same here if nothing can be worked out politically. If Iran was Mexico, I'm pretty sure we would have plans in place and wait for the go-ahead.

I would be SHOCKED if they didn't have a plan in place. This is their existence we are talking about. They believe that Iran will use these nukes if they get them. And I'm sure they or someone else would. To not have a plan in place to destroy these facilities, in light of what they did in 1981, would be thinking that Israel believes they have no need to worry about Iran and nuclear capabilities. I find that hard to believe.

P.S. Could this be a false report? Yes, of course. But, I'm 100% sure they have plans in place, even if these aren't the official plans.

This is huge. Will Iran or someone in the Middle East make a preemptive strike? Does Iran already have nukes, and if so will they use them or give them to terrorists? Will Syria launch a preemptive strike or one after the attacks on the facilities? Will chaos unfold in the Middle East following the attack?

Wow, so many possibilities, but it sure looks like prophecy being unveiled to me. I believe that this situation is going to explode(no pun intended ).

Keep your eyes on the sky! Maranatha!
