The coming war with Iran

[beast]

War with Iran is now inevitable. The only question is: Will it happen sooner or later? Tehran's recent missile tests and war games suggest that the apocalyptic mullahs have reached the same conclusion.

Iran is on the march. Their medium-range Shahab-3 and Sajjil missiles can reach Israel, the entire Middle East and parts of Europe. Tehran is slowing expanding its regional sphere of influence. It has backed insurgency groups in Iraq, which have killed U.S. soldiers. It sponsors Hamas and Hezbollah. It has transformed Syria into a political vassal. It has forged an alliance with Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. It has purchased key air defense systems from Vladimir Putin's Russia.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust-denier and virulent anti-Semite. He is a Persian Nazi strongman who vows to wipe Israel "off the map." He is a revolutionary Shi'ite. He believes the Jews must be extinguished in order to usher the coming of the Shi'ite Messiah, the so-called "Hidden Imam."

We must do everything to stop Iran'
Oct. 14, 2009
Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST

Israel retains all options, including military action, to stop Iran's nuclear program, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer on Tuesday during talks in Prague.

Barak traveled to Prague to speak at the fourth meeting of the Forum 2000, a gathering of world leaders started by former Czech president Václav Havel and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel.

Before the forum opened, Barak met with Fischer and Czech Defense Minister Bogdan Klich and called to impose tough sanctions on Iran that would have a time limit.

"Iran is a threat to the entire world and not just Israel," Barak said. "The international community needs to unite together against this threat and recruit countries like Russia, China and India. Israel believes that everything needs to be done to stop Iran from becoming nuclear."

Barak also referred to the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead and said it was "biased and distorted and would encourage terrorism while restricting democracies around the world in fighting terrorism."

He called on the Palestinian leadership to build up the courage to advance the peace process and start negotiations with Israel.

"I do not think that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the source of all the problems in the Middle East, since even if there [were] peace, the Ayatollahs in Teheran would still not recognize Israel's right to exist," Barak said.

On Wednesday, Barak will travel to Poland for talks with the Polish leadership. He will also visit Auschwitz with a group of IDF officers.
