On US Visit, Netanyahu Eyes Weapons for Iran Attack
Seeks Bunker Busters as Reward for 'Concessions' to Palestinians
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is off to the United States tonight, with a visit to AIPAC’s annual planning conference on the official agenda, and something much more serious to be discussed in a Tuesday meeting with President Obama.
Reportedly, having been formally praised by the Obama Administration for his dubious “concessions” last week, Netanyahu will now seek some returns on that investment, since apparently the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that will keep construction going in occupied East Jerusalem isn’t its own reward.
Netanyahu will reportedly press President Obama to provide the nation with “bunker buster” bombs to make Israel’s long-threatened military attack on Iran more convenient.
Israeli governments have been seeking the bunker buster bombs for years, with occasional deliveries intersperces with new demands for more advanced bombs. With the ever-present threat of attacks from Israel, Iran has been putting its civilian nuclear infrastructure deep underground, making such attacks unlikely to be successful.

“Yes’em Mr. Bibi. Anything else you might need from us? How bout some more white phosphorous bombs? They’re very effective at reining down fire-pellets on women & children. Yes’em Mr. Bibi, anything you want. You know this is “Israeli occupied territory here so your wish is our command. How bout some new bulldozers? You haven’t run over any americans lately (ie: Rachel Corrie)so you’re overdue.”
Absolutely disgusting.
Watch the DC politicians fall over one another trying to get in-line to coronate the representative of our “greatest ally” in the Middle East.

Netanyahu can ask all he wants, morning, noon and night but the guilty parties are those who answer yes.

Exactly the reason Iran is looking for nukes, to protect itself from Israeli/US aggression.

BLOODYISRAEL is only a warwhore for the MIC, which now includes propaganda, and, of course finances. Let all the dual citizenship crowd be deported back to country of alligence along with the stupid, suck-up crowd, the KKKristians!

I understand that there are already several bunkerbuster bombs on Diego Garcia, waiting for orders.

I studied that pciture for a few minutes. Something struck me. Then I got it. His body language was very similar to Adolf Hitler.

How can they give him bombs when Petraeus said Israel is a danger to American troops in the region? The Israelis and US politicians count on US media not to ask any obvious questions.

And if Iran hits Dimona when Israel attacks? That would be a lawful act of self-defense. The neocon jackasses would it as a "terrorist attack" using "weapons of mass-destruction." The old testament is obviously among the most virulently genocidal documents mankind has ever produced. The wacky right in both Israel and the US will claim a celestially ordained right to use nukes against a country that dared to defend itself against "God's chosen people". Amazing how snugly these fairy tales fit the military industrial complex's "elite" consensus.

The United States has as much independence from Israel as Bulgaria had from the Soviet Union when Stalin ran things. We should just outsource the running of the federal government to Israel and eliminate all the embarrassing traitors now charged with the task. When push turns to shove we can count on the Kenyan prince grabbing his ankles to protect himself from internal injury and for the good of the country… .

The False Flag pointing to Iran and the Federal Reserve HQ , possibilities :
CIA can search Iraq for unexploded Iranian munition from the previous Iraq/Iran war since explosives can be traced to the manufacturer/country of origin . Or let a NATO submarine " accidentally " collide with an Iranian war ship , sink it and collect the ammunition .
This will destroy all Fed Res documents and logs showing how and where the money went , documents that the Fed Res Refuses to provide . Further more , at least one Money Printing machine ( as bulky as they are ) could be Removed just before the False Flag and used later covertly for multiple purposes .
Early Signs preceding the operation : the Fed building will be closed for ' maintenance ' , broken water pipe , small fire , etc . during the 24 hours immediately before the strike . This will allow for additional explosives set up AND the removal of at least one Money Printing machine/system including the specialized Paper , ink and Security features ( a complete Kit ) .

If Iran does have a nuclear weapons development effort going on (and who in their right mind could blame them if they did?), Israel cannot stop it from the air, with or without "bunker buster" bombs.
Thus the nuclear thing is only a pretext.
The Jewish supremacists' goal is to start a massive war that will, at the least, destroy Iran, Syria and Lebanon, and, most likely, what's left of the U.S. (economically, morally, politically, and perhaps physically as well).

The old testament sounds like the ravings of a mad man. The new contains a lot of good teachings but it too is suspect. The sooner the world realizes that old and new testamount are simply fairy tales for Sunday school classes the better we will all be . If Moses got the 10 commandments on stone slabs on Mt. Sanai why have they never been found ? Stone does not deteriorate that easily.
