Israel's Plans to Nuke Iran
Some now rank Israel third or fourth behind only the USA, Russia and possibly France in holding the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons, yet Israel has consistently refused to confirm its nuclear status.15 JANUARY 2007--In 1986, an Israeli civil servant who worked in the state-owned nuclear industry flew to London where he was invited to meet with reporters working for The Sunday Times. In these press briefings, Mordechai Vanunu revealed Israel's top secret – the Israelis had gained control of a growing stockpile of nuclear warheads.
Released in 2004, Mr Vanunu was placed under orders prohibiting him from travel to other nations where he has been offered academic posts. Mr. Vanunu is now living in the sanctuary of a Christian Church in Israel, but this refuge has not stopped his political persecution by the government of Israel. Since his release, Mr. Vanunu has been arrested four times, and he is now facing 21 charges of contravening a lawful direction, a charge that carries a penalty of two years in prison for each count (i.e., 42 years).
The European Parliament condemned the state of Israel's persecution of Mr. Vanunu. Amnesty International published a report charging that Israel's treatment of Mr. Vanunu was, "cruel, inhuman and degrading... such as is prohibited by international law."
Since his exposé of Israel's nuclear arsenal, Mr. Vanunu has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize a total of 17 times. Even though Joseph Rotblat placed Mr. Vanunu's name in nomination, Vanunu's Nobel nominations have always faced systematic opposition organized by friends and supporters of the state of Israel who wield immense influence in the Nobel deliberations.
In 1987, Mr. Vanunu received the alternative Nobel Peace Prize (the Right Livelihood Award). In 2005, he was awarded the Peace Prize of the Norwegian people and an honorary doctorate from the prestigious University of Tromso.
The state of Israel has consistently blocked Mr. Vanunu's taking up his academic post as a Lecturer in history at the University of Glasgow. The Israeli government prohibits Mr. Vanunu from traveling beyond their borders, apparently for fear that he will hold press briefings about their now well-known arsenal of nuclear weapons. Expert opinions vary, but some now rank Israel third or fourth behind only the USA, Russia and possibly France in holding the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons.
In addition to the nuclear devices themselves, Israel has a formidable arsenal of delivery systems. Israel's Shavit rocket has been used to launch satellites into orbit, and the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reported that the Shavit could be converted to an ICBM with a range of 7,000 miles allowing an Israeli nuclear strike anywhere in the Middle East as well as eastern and western Europe and Central Asia. Additionally, Israel now has a fleet of Dolphin class submarines armed with cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reported that Israel may have developed nuclear artillery shells as well as nuclear land-mines that could be deployed in the Golan Heights to discourage Syrian designs on the region.
Even though the existence of Israel's nuclear arsenal is now a well-established fact, the state of Israel has consistently refused to confirm its nuclear status. Furthermore, Israel refuses to become a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Israel's adamant nuclear insularity and denials have created tensions — not only in the Middle East, but globally.
America's acquiescence to the Israeli nuclear arsenal may have encouraged India, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and other states now known to be capable of developing nuclear capabilities. For instance, in 2003, leading members of the government of Saudi Arabia announced that due to worsening relations with the United States they were considering the development of nuclear weapons. The worsening relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States are predicated upon the policies of Israel: its rogue nuclear arsenal and its harsh treatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Some reports indicate that India has secretly provided Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons.
In the early 1990s, one of America's premier journalists, Seymour Hersh, published a best-selling book, The Samson Option, detailing Mr. Vanunu's testimony. Hersh's book contained a great deal of new information about Israel's vaunted nuclear defense capability.
Since 1986, the overwhelming majority of the global population has known about Israel's nuclear arsenal, but many Americans remain completely unaware of the existence of hundreds of nuclear warheads under the direct control of the Israeli defense establishment. In the mid-1990s, Michael Moore — a person who is not known for his conservatism nor for his reflexive support for the policies of the state of Israel – made disparaging remarks during an interview that touched on the existence of the Israeli nuclear arsenal. Moore made this gaffe because — even though he is usually well-informed — it was obvious that he was oblivious to either Mordechai Vanunu's testimony or Mr. Hersh's bestselling book.
In the reports linked below, The Sunday Times has now revealed new evidence that Israel is currently planning to launch a nuclear attack against Iran. Aimed at destroying the embryonic Iranian nuclear industry, the Israeli missiles armed with nuclear warheads will be delivered via conventional jet fighters. The Sunday Times reported that Israeli jet pilots are already undergoing advanced training to fire the nuclear warheads at targets in Iran – in a tactical replay of their attack that destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor at Osirak in 1982.
In The Sunday Times coverage, no reference was made to the possibility of a nuclear strike from Israeli submarines that have been equipped with cruise missiles that could be armed with nuclear warheads. Military experts have been reporting the presence of Israel's Dolphin class submarines in the Persian Gulf for the past two years, ostensibly to support U.S. naval operations in case Iran attempts to close the Straits of Hormuz.
Two years ago, Seymour Hersh began publishing a series of papers in The New Yorker detailing a vast planning project in Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon to attack and wage war on Iran. In the interim, many other authors have now reported details of the highly publicized policy of the Bush-Cheney White House to use military force to compel Iran to abandon any ambitions it might have to develop nuclear weapons. These American military options involve the use of nuclear weapons, sometimes called bunker busters, that are designed for striking deeply embedded underground locations such as Iran's nuclear laboratories.
It is worthy of note that Elizabeth Cheney, the eldest daughter of Vice President Richard Cheney, is the U.S. government official at the State Department responsible for a budget of circa $100 million per year to encourage "democracy" inside Iran — ie. covert operations designed to construct a fifth column inside Iranian society that is hostile to the existing government.
The Bush-Cheney administration has been severely weakened by the recent midterm elections, and they apparently no longer feel capable of launching a direct nuclear strike against Iran using American forces.From a lengthening series of reports, it is now clear that the Bush-Cheney administration has been severely weakened by the recent midterm elections, and they apparently no longer feel capable of launching a direct nuclear strike against Iran using American forces, American weapons and America's formidable nuclear arsenal. In negotiations that took place in Washington between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and President George Bush – as well as in the highly publicized negotiations between Vice President Dick Cheney and King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia – it would now appear that the joint planning to strike Iran has altered only slightly from the grandiose schemes originally designed by Donald Rumsfeld prior to his abrupt retirement on the day after the midterm elections last year.
Israel has been given the assignment of launching a coordinated cluster of nuclear strikes aimed at targets that are the nuclear installations in the Iranian cities: Natanz, Isfahan and Arak.According to The Sunday Times, there has been a slight re-calibration of the plans for the war against Iran. Rather than a direct American nuclear strike against Iran's hard targets, Israel has been given the assignment of launching a coordinated cluster of nuclear strikes aimed at targets that are the nuclear installations in the Iranian cities: Natanz, Isfahan and Arak.
What remains to be seen is whether the American media – now ranked 53rd on the International Press Freedom Index – will cover the story, and whether the American people will be informed of the intimate collaboration between the Bush-Cheney White House, the Olmert government in Israel and other governments now known to be involved in the military planning to contain Iran's still-nascent nuclear development.
Following The Sunday Times' detailed coverage of Israeli's plans to launch a nuclear strike against Iran, the government of Israel issued an unconvincing denial. One Israeli official made an ambiguous statement when he said that the story could have been leaked intentionally in order to prevent the nation of Israel from doing something "crazy." When Israeli government officials offer praise — even in this odd manner — it is time to take note that a political realignment may be taking place in Tel Aviv.
In America, there is no doubt whatsoever that a major political realignment has already taken place. The American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) and its cheerleaders are concerned that the trend to criticize Israel is now intensifying both on the left and in the center of the political spectrum in the US. The government of Israel's support for the disasters brought about by the neoconservative ideology has triggered an American political backlash in the wake of years of disappointment over the war in Iraq — a war that was to have been the crowning achievement of the Bush-Cheney administration.
Former President Jimmy Carter's book, Palestine: Peace not Apartheid is now standing high on the bestseller lists, even though he has faced a firestorm of protest from the Israel-Firsters led by Abraham Foxman, the formidable propagandist of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
Against this rapidly shifting backdrop, American politicians of both parties — and from all parts of the political spectrum: left, right and center – are now openly expressing their opposition to the war in Iraq. That said, relatively few members of Congress have taken any position on the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld plans for war with Iran.
Last week, the new Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Joseph Biden (D-Delaware) challenged Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice about her inflammatory remarks threatening a military intervention to confront what she termed Iran's "aggression." In striking terms, Senator Biden warned Secretary Rice that Congress would not tolerate any U.S. military attack across the Iraq-Iran border. Senator Biden promised Secretary Rice there will be a "constitutional confrontation" between Congress and the White House if President Bush orders U.S. forces to cross the border. Currently the most outspoken opponent of America's plans to wage war on Iran in the U.S. Congress, Senator Biden is an unannounced candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.
In a parallel development, top-ranking staff at the White House ordered Tony Snow to issue a weak statement designed to allay rising public concerns about expanding the unpopular war into Iran. Snow attempted to pour scorn on what he deemed to be an "urban legend" — that the Bush White House has made plans for war with Iran. Coming as they did in the aftermath of Condoleezza Rice's provocative remarks about Iranian "aggression" and the highly publicized seizure of five Iranian officials by U.S. forces in Iraq, Mr. Snow's attempt to quell the concerns of Americans was underwhelming, unconvincing and little more than a transparent attempt to disinform the public. The appointment of Mr. Snow, a former personality from Fox News, was, perhaps, one of the worst of many questionable decisions made by a White House besieged on so many fronts.
During his confirmation hearings last month, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates responded to a question about potential U.S. military intervention against Iran. Mr. Gates stated that such an attack could have "devastating consequences" for America and her friends in the region.
The reality is stark. If Israel attacks Iran, it will be playing Russian roulette on a grand scale.Mr. Gates was right. The reality is stark. If Israel attacks Iran, it will be playing Russian roulette on a grand scale. The retaliation from a broad spectrum of nations and multinational militias in the Middle East could bring about a concerted series of devastating hard power attacks against both Israeli and American forces arrayed in a dense cluster from Iraq to Kuwait, Qatar and the Persian Gulf.
During his recent appearance at the Oxford Union, Avi Shlaim, one of the premier historians of Israel, said,
"There was never any special relationship between America and Britain. Whenever Bush was confronted with the choice of pleasing Blair or Sharon, he always sided with Sharon. The real special relationship is between America and Israel."There is an old adage in politics: It's never your enemies who get you into trouble: it's your friends.

A recent report from ABI Research predicted that mobile marketers will spend $1.8 billion on location-based advertising in 2015. Practice director Neil Strother noted that some consumers may be alienated by the "Big Brother" aspect of location-based advertising, but "if you care about getting discounts or being rewarded for shopping," the value-exchange may be high enough for many consumers.
Location-based ads are enabled by GPS, WiFi and Cell-ID (which enables the location to be determined via mobile phone transmitters). Strother noted that the most successful campaigns use a mix of these technologies. Location-based services aimed at enticing mobile shoppers include Foursquare, Facebook Places and Gowalla.

Titanic Novak digs deep to clinch marathon and book place in final against Murray
There are no shocks when Novak Djokovic is around, not even in an electrically charged Centre Court watching one of the greatest matches in Wimbledon history.
Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal may have suffered astonishing exits in the early days of this Wimbledon but the world No 1 progressed to the final on Friday just as he was supposed to.
Well, not entirely as he was supposed to. It took a titanic effort on his part to overcome not just a spirited but a wondrous challenge from Juan Martin del Potro in an unforgettable semi-final of high-quality power tennis.
Serb and volley: Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro played their part in an entertaining semi-final
Marathon: Del Potro takes a break in the fourth-round tie break after a mammoth rally
Touching: Djokovic (L) commiserates with Del Potro at the end of epic battle
Who cares that Djokovic made more errors than he has done in some tournaments, 48 no less, and many on a backhand which he will have to work on prior to the final? Ironically, it was a backhand down the line which sealed a 7-5, 4-6, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 victory at the end of four hours and 43 minutes, a record for a semi-final here.
The Centre Court spectators loved every dramatic minute, and the interactions between two friends. At one tense stage, Del Potro followed through with his chase into his opponent's court and started a conversation.
'I hit a dropshot, he hit a running forehand,' Djokovic related. 'The ball was very close to the line. Line umpire called it good; chair umpire said out. To me it seemed more out, but it was on him to decide if he wanted to challenge. He asked me, ''What's going on?''.
'I said, ''Listen, if I was you, I would challenge''. He said, ''No, but you know it's out, and I don't want to waste my challenge''. I said, ''OK, you decide whatever you want. But truly, I'm not lying to you. It's very close''.'
Do the splits: The world No 1 was bidding to reach his second Wimbledon final
Thriller: The Centre Court crowd were treated to a five-set thriller on Friday
Emotional; Del Potro hides his face after missing out
Just as the match was. It went the way of the better, more experienced, more battle-hardened competitor, as it usually does. But Del Potro became something of a Centre Court darling by rising gloriously to the challenge and conjuring up some brutally hard hitting.
'It's not a consolation,' he said of the spectators' support. 'Yeah, I think they saw my big effort. But first I'd like to win, then the other things come along. It was not enough to beat the world No 1.'
Del Potro may have had a dodgy knee, protected by heavy strapping, but it was the No 1 seed who spent much of the day slipping and sliding behind the baseline, while attempting to retrieve one howitzer after another. Del Potro's nickname may be the Tower of Tandil, after his Argentine birthplace, but he should now be known as The Forehand.
Many of his flat boomers nudged over 100mph. One, in particular, was recorded at 113mph, a lot faster than Malcolm Marshall ever hurled a cricket ball.
In support: Jelena Ristic watches partner Djokovic from the stands in his bid to reach the showpiece
Net gains: Djokovic hadn't dropped a set before today's match
Fired up: Djokovic celebrates
'Come on Del Boy,' a voice in Centre Court crowd shouted. But it was Rodney who played the 12th game of the opening set as Djokovic went ahead.
If anyone expected Del Potro to go quickly and quietly, they were horribly wrong. A run of 10 points in a row proved crucial in levelling the match one set all.
The third went to Djokovic on a tie- break, the fourth to Del Potro on another after surviving two match points.
The fifth and deciding set was played against a cacophony of excitement. The rallies grew more intense, the shots more unbelievable and drama more acute. But greater experience saw Djokovic through.
As he said: 'I know when we get to the fifth set at the later stages of a major event, this is where your physical strength and mental ability to stay tough can decide the winner. I know that I have been pushed to the limit today.'
The loser could not take quite the same view. 'I'm sad now, but in a couple of days I will see how big was the match.'
Everyone else knows now how great the match was.
Done it: Djokovic could not hide his joy after five-set epic
Plucky: Del Potro receives a standing ovation as he walks off court

I chose Peacock Pavilions for the style. Each room was rich in color and world-class luxury, treating us to a fantastic immersion into Marrakech. Our room exhibited the most beautiful stenciling. From the rooftop, we could watch the sunset behind the Atlas mountains while hearing the call to prayer go out from neighboring minarets. While on the ground, we could relax beneath ages-old olive trees by the pool. I left Morocco believing I could have never left Peacock Pavilions yet still experienced all of the beauty of Marrakech.

Hmmm, are those handful of exclamation point days in our lives a call to action for our deepest desires? Most of the days that make up our lives are singularly unremarkable. We go about our well established routines. Time passes without incident. It's a good day when we get to the end of it having met our obligations and not messed up on anything. Ask me what I did two weeks ago today. I couldn't tell you much more than: Went to work, took care of business, came home, took care of business, went to bed. I became a day older, perhaps just slightly wiser and one step closer to the weekend. And then there are the "where were you when…" days. Those handful of days when something dramatic happened that fixes in your mind a specific moment in time. The leading candidates on my list: Where were you when… 9-11 redefined the meaning of terrorism and swept away any illusion of security we once had. I remember with perfect clarity… I was on the 28th floor of an office tower in Toronto – not a reassuring place to be. Later, I was at Union Station trying to fight my way onto a bus when the entire commuting population of a city of 2.8 million people was trying to escape the city at the same time. Where were you when… cascading blackouts, originating in Ohio on an otherwise ordinary August 14, combined to form the great Northeast Blackout of 2003 that left 10 million Canadians and 45 million Americans without power for as many as two days. I remember with perfect clarity… I was at work when the power went out. Not knowing how widespread the problem was, I headed for Union Station and was lucky enough to get on a train back to the suburbs. It was the next day before I understood the full extent of the blackout. And most recently, where were you when… the great rainstorm of July 8, 2013 set a new one day record dumping 126 mm of rain on Toronto and Mississauga – flooding subway stations, go train tracks, city streets and basements – knocking out power for some areas for up to two days. I will remember with perfect clarity… I was hiking at local conservation area. Thankfully, the sweltering heat made me pack it in early. I got home half an hour before the storm hit. I watched the torrents of rain from my 18th floor apartment window with both awe and a bit of fear. We can all name many more where were you when days. For you, they might be: When the space shuttle Columbia disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana… When Neil Armstrong spoke those historic words "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"… When JFK was assassinated in Dallas. Life is made up of thousands and thousands of unexceptional days, which pass like clouds drifting lazily across the horizon, punctuated by a handful of exclamation point days that fix themselves in our consciousness.
Perhaps those exclamation point days are simultaneously metaphors for our hopes, dreams and deepest desires. We hope to be more than ordinary. We dream of leaping off the page of life. We secretly desire to etch ourselves into the annals of time. The where were you when, exclamation point days remind us that we'd better get on moving on our extravagant aspirations. For there is no guarantee that we'll be around tomorrow to do what we didn't have the courage to attempt today. ~ Michael Robert Dyet is the author of "Until the Deep Water Stills – An Internet-enhanced Novel" – double winner in the Reader Views Literary Awards 2009.

PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County's updated shoreline management plan is expected to be in place by mid-December now that the conflict over finfish aquaculture has been resolved, according to the county's lead on the project.
"We will allow the use of net pens, although only in certain geographical areas and with a conditional-use permit," said Associate Planner Michelle McConnell, whose department is preparing paperwork that the three county commissioners will consider for approval Nov. 18.
"Having a plan in place will also allow people who have been waiting to develop shoreline property to proceed and offer them different options for that development," McConnell said.
County Commissioner David Sullivan said he thinks "it's the best we can do.
"All this does is kick it down to the permit level and deal with net pens on a case-by-case basis instead of having it be on the program level, but anyone who wants to put in a net pen will have to meet all of the conditions," Sullivan said.

With another playoff appearance on the horizon, the Baltimore Ravens went into Landover, MD to face the Washington Redskins in the Battle of the Beltway.
Coming off their first four-game win streak since 2008, the Redskins were becoming a force in the NFC east. Two rookies, Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris, had led the Redskins to a respectable 6-6, even with a tattered defense.
The Baltimore Ravens were right where they wanted to be coming into this game. At 9-3, the Ravens were perched atop the AFC North and fighting for a first-round bye in the playoffs, however, they would be without their two leaders on defense this Sunday. Terrell Suggs was inactive for this game due to a torn biceps, and Ray Lewis was still recovering from his triceps injury. The Baltimore defense has given up more rush yards per game during the 2012 campaign than any other year in the history of the franchise. This was not the same defense Ravens' fans were used to seeing.
The first half of this game proved to be void of defense. Alfred Morris and Ray Rice were gouging the opposing fronts, and the efficient rush attacks enabled each offense to open up the play-action pass. This resulted in a 21-14 score at half time, with no signs of letting up.
The second half began somewhat surprisingly for the Ravens, though. The Redskins forced Joe Flacco to fumble on the Baltimore's first drive, intercepted a poor pass on the second drive, and held the Ravens to two three-and-out's on the following drives.
After two long field goals, another Ravens touchdown and a right knee injury that forced Robert Griffin III out of the game in the final minute, it was up to Kirk Cousins to tie the game with a touchdown and a two-point conversion to get the game to OT. He did just that. He might be the favorite pick as the hero, but there was someone more valuable.
Hero: Kicker Kai Forbath, Washington Redskins
As mentioned above, there were two long field goals in the 3rd quarter that seemed almost insignificant, but these 48- and 49-yard field goals could have easily been missed. They came at a point in the game when both teams were battling for field position and points were hard to come by. They were also at a distance that most fans wouldn't expect a kicker to hit 100% from. Surprisingly, Forbath has been nothing short of a guarantee from all distances this season. A perfect 11-11 coming into the game, the two field goals made him 8-8 from 40-49 yards.
In overtime, after the Redskins held the Ravens' offense to another 3-and-out, it was Forbath's turn yet again. He lined up and nailed the 34-yard field goal to win the game. Any mistake could have robbed the Redskins of their playoff chances, but Kai Forbath refused to allow that.
Zero: Quarterback Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
The most important player on the field is also going to receive the most scrutiny. Even with his three touchdowns before the half, Joe Flacco made mistakes in the second half of this game that cost Baltimore the win. His lack of pocket presence on the first drive of the second half led to a strip sack and fumble recovery by the Washington Redskins. Additionally, on the second drive of the half, Flacco made a poor decision to throw the football while under duress deep in Redskins territory. London Fletcher intercepted the pass. This was the most important change of possession in the game. The Ravens were guaranteed at least three points on that drive, and they came up with zero. That zero allowed the Redskins to stay in the game, tie it up, and eventually win it in overtime.
