Report: Israel Hastening Plans to Strike Iran

From Newsmax with a hat tip to Right Wing News.

A preemptive airstrike by Israel against suspected nuclear weapons facilities in Iran could come as early as March, a report in the Glasgow Herald claimed Tuesday.

"The Israeli raids would be carried out by long-range F-15E bombers and cruise missiles against a dozen key sites and are designed to set Tehran's weapons program back by up to two years," the paper said.

"Pilots at the Israeli air force's elite 69 squadron have been briefed on the plan and have conducted rehearsals for their missions."

One of the primary targets would be the enrichment plant at Natanz - where Iranian scientists removed seals on Tuesday that had kept one of the country's largest uranium stockpiles under wraps since 2004.
Someone soon is going to have to take down Iran's nuclear program unless there is a remarkable diplomatic breakthrough--which seems more and more unlikely as time goes on.

Israel has the most to lose, and unlike democrats, they have no desire to wait until a threat is imminent before they will take action. If Ahmadinejad and the mullahs believes that the state of Israel will waste away what little time it has left with pointless negotiations, they are naive.

Israel says what it means and means what it says. Unlike the UN and the EU.
