REPORT: ISRAEL COULD WIPE OUT IRAN'S NUKE ASSETS WITH MISSILES

From Reliapundit the Astute Blogger:

JPOST:
A new report has assessed that Israel could use ballistic missiles to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, rather than air power. The report also warns that such action could trigger a response that would escalate to include the use of WMDs.

Abdullah Toukan of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) wrote that Israel's use of Jericho III missiles to strike Iran's nuclear sites "could look much more feasible than using combat aircraft," because of the lower political and operational risks Israel would face in such an attack, since Iran still lacks an adequate missile defense system.

Toukan estimated Israel would need about 40 Jericho IIIs for the initial volley...

... According to the 114-page report released Monday, based on publicly available information, Israel would have a major advantage in its air capabilities, since "what is known about the Iranian air defense system clearly shows how it has become largely obsolescent."
PREDICTION: MAY 14TH, 2010.... IT'S A NEW MOON....

Everyone should PLAN on the following ..
any attack on Iranian nuke facilities OR MORE of any kind will trigger a regional war, possibly involving WMD, PROBABLY invovling them, AND if Israel herself does not take out Iranian oil facilities causing an oil panic (but obliterating Iran's economic power for a while), Iran will attack anything transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and may go after Abqaiq.

So... any attack will result in mass casualties, a BIG war, and oil panic ($10/gallon at the pump ..certainly $5-7). oh.... and anti jew frenzy.

Like I've said earlier ... that's why Israel might as well go for the whole enchilada if they attack the nuclear facilities.
