Baradei says Inspectors found 'Nothing;'
But Israeli Attack Plans not Tabled
Outgoing head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Muhammad Elbaradei, said that UN inspectors this week discovered "nothing to be worried about" at a new nuclear enrichment facility that is being built in a mountain near Qom. He added, "The idea was to use it as a bunker under the mountain to protect things. It's a hole in a mountain."
Nevertheless, Rupert Murdoch's Sky News is reporting that Israel is actively making plans to attack Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities. Here is the Sky News video:

Much of the world believes Israel is the single biggest threat to world peace. Yet, the US coddles Israel. Why?
Murdoch news organisations (notably the Times) have been acting as PR agents for Israel for some time now. Barely a week passes without some new 'threat' that Israel is going to imminently bomb Iran, complete with quotes from a 'top anonymous source'.
Trouble is, cheap psychological warfare just ain't gonna cut it with the Iranians, who are too sophisticated by half for Israel's crude, macho military. Israel is not going to bomb Iran. Nor is the US. The Iranians know that. All the SKynews hype won't change that.
a bit off topic:

After a lull in the assassinations of the overseas opposition figures and other covert terrorist operations by the IRR, the Islamist Rapist Republic, Persian service of radio Deutsche Welle has an alarming report on the subject.
According to the German radio report, for the very first time a high ranking commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corps openly threatens foreign mass media outlets and the Iranian opposition. In an interview with IRNA, the official news organ of the IRR, the Deputy Head of IRR’s Armed Forces Headquarters, Brigadier General Seyyed Massoud Jazayeri says:
“The forbearance of the Islamic Republic does not mean it can allow elements of overthrow and extensions of the soft coup d'état to conspire and should it be forced to, it is capable of facing the overseas followers of the coup d'état with serious challenges.”
The Deputy Head of IRR’s Armed Forces Headquarters further in part says:
“A considerable number of the conspiracy’s foot soldiers have been identified and at the appropriate time will be dealt with.”
In a separate report the same radio publishes interviews with directors of Persian radio services of England, France, Germany and Radio farda in Prague who all were threatened by the same Revolutionary Guard commander.
All the IRR’s uniquely Islamist savagery including raping men, women and children demonstrators, breaking bones and all other brutalities are losing their effect on people. As the situation gets gloomier for the Islamist Rapists inside Iran, and it will get progressively gloomier, IRR will become even more desperate and will lash out outside Iran’s borders.
Before the nuke acquiring IRR imposes a devastating war on Iran and the region, the sane world has to step in. To speedup their demise, airtight sanctions in tandem with unremitting moral and material support to the enslaved Iranians to overthrow this Islamist menace is a must, time is of the essence.

A successful conventional Isreali (or US) attack on Iran's U-enrichment or storage facilities would scatter radio-nucleotide poisons into watersheds, agriculture and populations. If such an attack were attempted on US soil, we would regard it as radiological terrorism. Even the threat or planning of such an attack would be subject to a range of covert and overt 'preemptive' military measures.
Since only the Israeli's are known to have nukes, the imminent threat of a mushroom cloud over their enemies is real enough to enter into US planning. We have 250,000 men on Iran's borders, under the fallout cone, if the Israelis launch.
Those publicizing plans for Isreali radiological terror, or an actual nuclear strike against Iran may be aligned with Likudist thinking. But they are no friends of Israel.
What's really happening is that the US is being pressured, blackmailed if you will, by Netanyahu's gov't. This happened before, during the 1973 war of Israeli occupation at the Suez. The likelihood of an Israeli strike on Iran, in the wake of a new missile war on the Lebanese border, can't be discounted.
I'd like to hope that the new US missile shield planned for the Gulf will go up in time for US Standards to intercept Israeli IRBM's coming out of the Negev, or from nuclear missile capable Israeli subs now said to be operating off Iran's the Indian Ocean coast.
The winners in even a small war would be extremist politicians like Netanyahu and Amadi Nijad. As the rich man said, if we can't identify the patsy in this brinksmanship bluffing game, we're it.
Good luck Ms Clinton, wherever you are.

gee, I sure hope that the Iranians are sophisticated enough to discern that the attacks are coming from Israel and not the US. From the Sky News video, it almost looks like the US military is involved in helping to prepare for these attacks, flying over the bunker buster bombs from Arizona, and the advanced radars from Massachusetts. I really, really hope that the Iranians don't shoot down any aircraft over their airspace with American crewmen aboard.
