Israeli official: 'Attack on Iran unavoidable'

Bad news.

"An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites looks “unavoidable” given the apparent failure of sanctions to deny Tehran technology with bomb-making potential, one of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s deputies said Friday.

“If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective,” Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

“Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable,” said the former army chief who has also been defense minister.

It was the most explicit threat yet against Iran from a member of Olmert’s government, which, like the Bush administration, has preferred to hint at force as a last resort should U.N. Security Council sanctions be deemed a dead end."

    • A war between US/Israel and Iran means the end of the Middle East as we know it.

    • Israel is that little yippy dog in Tom and Jerry. It's small and annoying and bugs people. Then when someone goes for the dog to make it shut up guess who comes out? The big mean doggy. Israel knows this and that's why it's acting all tough, because America will be there to help out should they start something.

      World War III here we come.

    • If the Israeli's breathe a scab on the end of their nose let them be the one to defend themselves. This is just another Bush Cheney scheme. We can't allow this to happen. Our lazy ass legislators have to stop them. They have fired every military man that has tried to thwart their quest to attack. Two more the other day. I knew then this shit was going to start heating up when they start after them in pairs.

    • Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
      Dizzy with eternity.
      Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
      Call it home for you and me.
      A peaceful place or so it looks from space
      A closer look reveals the human race.
      Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face.
      But afraid, we may our home to waste.
      There's a fear down here we can't forget hasn't got a name just yet
      Always awake, always around singing ashes to ashes all fall down.
      Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime calls
      And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
      By and by again, the morning sun will rise
      But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes.
      It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
      Stalking turf, dividing up meat.
      Nightmare spook, piece of heat, you and me, you and me.
      Click, flashblade in ghetto night. Rudies looking for a fight.
      Rat cat alley roll them bones. Need that cash to feed that jones
      And the politicians throwing stones
      Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.
      Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice
      Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price.
      Money green or proletarian gray, selling guns instead of food today.
      So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
      While the politicians throwing stones
      Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.
      Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
      If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink.
      History's page, it is thusly carved in stone
      The future's here, we are it, we are on our own.
      If the game is lost then we're all the same
      No one left to place or take the blame.
      We will leave this place an empty stone
      Or this shinning ball of bule we can call our home
      So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
      While the politicians are throwing stones
      Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.
      Shipping powders back and forth
      Singing "black goes south while white comes north"
      And the whole world full of petty wars
      Singing "I got mine and you got yours."
      And the current fashions set the pace.
      Lose your step, fall out of grace.
      And the radical he rant and rage, Singing "someone got to turn the page"
      And the rich man in his summer home,
      Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
      But his pants are down, his cover's blown
      And the politicians are throwing stones
      So the kids they dance they shake their bones
      Cause its all too clear we're on our own
      Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
      It's dizzying, the possibilities. Ashes, Ashes all fall down.
