According To Russian Newspaper: US To Bomb Iran On 4/6/07 at 6:00am to 4pm

[kpete]

(cannot vouch for source - but thought it was interesting - kpete)

The USA will shoot on April 6


A Russian newspaper has claimed that the USA will shoot Iranian nuclear facilities and the bombardment will last 10 hours.

Many politicians, diplomats and journalists have mentioned the possibility of US military intervention in Iran to stop its nuclear program. The US government has implied supporting this option by saying "every option is on the table." A weekly newspaper in Russia has even gone so far as to announce the date and even the hour of the war. According to the Argominti Nidili newspaper, the USA will bomb Iran's nuclear facilities on April 6th in the morning from 6 a.m to 4 p.m.

[Faux pas]

1. So now we're having Russia announce our sneaky, disgusting

war plans to the world? I would laugh, except for the fact that anything is possible now days. Interesting find kpete.

[MadMaddie]

3. Yes anything is possible...

* wants this war with Iran...he is putting our soldiars in Iran in further peril....

Whether other Middle East countries support or denounce Iran...if the US bombs Iran the entire Middle East will make it their mission to destroy the US.....

* will have to implement the draft....and I guess that's what it's going to take for America to get rid of it's first "Wanna be Dictator"!

[Faux pas]

12. I remember that * wants to be in charge of bringing on the 'end

times'. Wonder if he'll have 70 virgins waiting for him in heaven. Could the man be anymore insane? Why isn't anyone stopping him???? I don't get it.

The draft coming back has been in the works for a few years. Have a friend who filled out the papers to be on the draft board in his state two years ago. Oh, and he didn't do this because he believes in the draft, he did it to have some say in the matter.

[peacetalksforall]

13. I'm not sure the entire ME will make it their mission to destroy us -

I cannot understand Saudi Arabia. Would Jordan join? Pakistan? I'm not sure.

These monsters travelled all over the ME - meeting with their leaders - what did they arrange for us to suffer? For suffer is what they want from us.

2. oh, and happy Easter everyone!

4. That would be the day before Easter

I am more likely to win the Powerball lottery, which I never buy tickets for, than we are to see Bush bomb Iran on the day before Easter.

[karlrschneider]

8. Maybe, but contemplate this recipe:

Combine one part G.W. Bush and
one part of the most bizarre, incomprehensible ratshit nuts notion ever humanly conceived...


Nuke for an hour, serve with a side of scrambled planet.

Yum.

:eyes:

[dsc]

10. I can't imagine anyone who depends upon Christian support

dreaming of doing that. It would be exponentially worse than bombing someone on Christmas eve.

[karlrschneider]

11. Yeah, well from the "christian" perspective * these days

it isn't all that far-fetched.

* I don't know what a Christian is any more. I know what it SHOULD be though. :eyes:

[dsc]

16. trust me

that would be considered beyond the pale.

[karlrschneider]

19. Hopefully. But I'm not at all sure the Talibornagains know about the pale.

...

[MissWaverly]

26. well didn't they hang Saddam on their day of mercy

Bush is the type that likes to pull the tablecloth off the table just as you are sitting
down to dinner, if you can imagine the guys in Animal House as president, that is what they
would do and think it was a fun joke.

[merci_me]

24. Actually, it's Good Friday and Passover week.

I can't recall offhand, but isn't Passover one week long? This year, it begins at sundown, April 2, which would make April 6 the fourth day of Passover, along with Good Friday.

BTW, the paper said 6am, but did they say which time zone that would be?

[dsc]

40. you are right I miscounted

and that makes it even less likely.

[RaleighNCDUer]

53. Passover is not a factor. It is 1 day long, beginning at sundown

on the 2nd this year, ending sundown on the 3rd.

Passover was disconnected from Easter centuries ago - the church didn't like the Jewish taint on their holy day.

[Blashyrkh]

35. And you base this on what exactly? n/t

[ProfessorGAC]

52. Wouldn't That Be Passover, Too?

I thought that the whole connection between Judaism and Christianity was rooted around the fact that Christ went to Jerusalem for Passover and was killed on Good Friday, two days before Easter. That would make Passover Friday night and Saturday, right?

[Clark2008]

6. Do you have the Russian version?

I'd like for hubby to translate it and see if it does, indeed, say this.

I'm just curious.

[Sir Jeffrey]

28. I found the Russian version...

http://www.argumenti.ru/publications/3084

I used Google translate to read the article. It looks like the OP was accurately describing the article. I don't know if it is true, but this is the original report.

[Pavulon]

7. The bourse, will we make it this time??

according to the tea leaves and pig guts...

[WillyT]

9. Watch Out, They Sent The Last One Of These To The 9\11 Dungeon !!!

:shrug:

[MissWaverly]

14. great, Bush is going to attack Iran on my birthday

the mother of all lamebrained ideas, great, just great.
I protest, he should pick somebody else's birthday to pick on.
:-(

[Bucky]

23. Happy birthday, Miss Waverly!

:nuke: Quick, blow up the candles! :nuke:

[MissWaverly]

25. just what I always wanted, nuclear winter

[brettdale]

15. Im betting that wont happen

Nothing will be announced.

[Bucky]

17. There's wars and then there's rumors of wars. This is a rumor.

They review their options all the time, but I seriously doubt they just circle a date on a calendar and say "Let's bomb then." Remember, the game plan is to provoke Iran into striking first.

[Solly Mack]

18. Operation Easter Bunny? Operation Egg Drop Ka-Blooie?

[karlrschneider]

20. Operation Persian Carpet Bomb?

:eyes:

[Solly Mack]

21. I like mine better

an actual Bush military operation would have some incredibly sickening patriotic name like

Operation Forging Freedom
Or Operation Soaring Eagle

[Colobo]

22. How credible is this?

[HereSince1628]

27. I think not very.

Then again, if you say Bush won't do something he's childish enough to just go ahead and do it for spite.

Oh, the Madness of King George, what are we to do?

[NoPasaran]

33. How could a report in a Russian newspaper NOT be credible?

Apparently Brittny Spears will be flying the first B-52.

[LSK]

62. .

:rofl:

[leftchick]

51. a lot of people discounted this source pre-Iraq attack

and the source was pretty much correct. This report scares me.

[annabanana]

65. Can anyone find any pre-Iraq links?

I would love to shrug this off and laugh. More and more, as the usual suspects continue to circle the wagons, they have continued to cut off their avenues of retreat. Gonzo is STILL insisting he's done nothing wrong, even though it is a sure bet that he'll be caught out...

GW is planning to veto a defense spending bill that has timetable language in it...

If the new ISG is feeding them encouragement, I can't bring myself to write this off as nonsense.

When has the fact that something is a sure-fire, unmitigated disaster ever deterred this crowd?

[leftchick]

66. you could check the LBN archives

I know I read it here on DU in 2002.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

54. Hmm... let's see... a Russian weekly newspaper has the scoop.

Yup, not credible.

[Windy]

29. Here's a thought

do you think old georgy told his old friend "look 'em in the eyes" Puty that he was going to strike Iran... as a professional courtesy... and Putin leaked it?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

31. I hope all the levity is warrented...

Previous post on this was dungeonized: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=125&topic_id=152039&mesg_id=152039

[Windy]

32. that's scary...... really scary

[HCE SuiGeneris]

34. and all we can do is cross our fingers...

x(

[Windy]

36. I went to that site

and you can't get the english version of that article anymore.... they had a message that they are working on the site.

[nadinbrzezinski]

37. Now, now, if this is true

either we call it off, our OpSec is down the drain.

And I am willing to bet on the former, and a huge internal investigation.

Now there is this other thing called grain of salt and who benefits from basically posting what looks like a violation of OpSec.

Trust me, if somebody leaked this (not that I am at all in favor for war with Iran), somebody will get shot.

So take this with a very large, as in huge, grain of salt

[Ninja Jordan]

45. Shot, but not killed?

[nadinbrzezinski]

46. As in court martial, as in summary court martial

as in execution.

Lordly, silly that I have to explain this

[formercia]

38. Something an ex Navy SEAL Paramilitary officer told me

We just keep feinting an attack and setting off alarms until one day you think it's another feint and relax your guard. That's when we get you.

[tom_paine]

39. Russian Newspapers are as believable as Fox "News".

So you'll pardon me if I take this with a grain of salt.

If I believe nothing the liars at Fox Newssay, how could I believe the minions of another BushPutinist State...Russia.

Would I put it past teh Busheviks to do this? No, I just don't believe either Fox "News" or Russian "News". Lies made by the same kinds of people for the same kinds of people, whether in Bushputinist America or Bushputinist Russia.

[thethinker]

47. During the invasion of Iraq

the Russian news sources were more reliable than what we got in American newspapers.

[freedomfries]

41. second Russian leak about pending war on Iran

Someone posted another Russian source yesterday. I would not take it the report lightheartedly, given the naval war build up near the Persian Gulf. Now there are several carriers around there, including a French one, not row boats rowing gently down the stream, aircraft carriers loaded with nuclear bombs! This about that.

[blues90]

42. I don't take issues such as these lightly

Look at how Iraq turned out because people took it either lightly or wanted the damn war .

I know we do have carrier groups fully armed in the gulf and this is certainly not a joke .

I do know the US as well as Israel has been beating this war drum for over a year now and this does continue .

I worry since the house will be off for the holiday that this could very well be the time they make their move .

As everyone else , I hope I am wrong but it is still quite alarming stuff . Lets not become de-sensitized like we seem to have become about the violence we see in movies that many years ago would have shocked us to no end .

[RaleighNCDUer]

55. Even one carrier group to support Iraq operations is a bit excessive.

Two? They are definitely looking at something OTHER than Iraq.

It just makes sense.

[bdamomma]

59. it bothers me that these "speculations" are being considered

when the Congress is on recess until April 10th.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

43. If our Congress held back the funds...would it have stopped this?

Didn't our dems give give Bush the power to go into Iran by taking away the clause (or whatever) that states Bush must go to Congress to ask for the power to go into Iran? ...We own this war now. :mad:

[Ninja Jordan]

44. Horrible foreign policy decision; the UN is properly dealing with this.

Does Bush WANT to inflame the middle east even more?

[mwb970]

48. Reporter: U.S. planning Iran bombs

(CNN International, February 26, 2007)

(Seymour) Hersh pointed to Vice President Dick Cheney's comments last week in Australia, where he said "all options are on the table" regarding Iran. Though such talk may amount to nothing more than "agitprop, propaganda," Hersh said, "Inside the military, they are planning very seriously, at the president's request, to attack Iran."

Hersh, who has covered the issue for years, said movement toward an incursion appears to be ratcheting up. He predicted that Bush, whose second term ends in January 2009, "is not going to leave office without doing something about Iran."

[WinkyDink]

49. So much for the most solemn day in Christendom, in that case.

[RaleighNCDUer]

56. Tactically, it makes sense.

It's the day before the holiest day in Christendom, therefore unexpected by the Iranian regime that is itself of a religious mindset. It is on their sabbath, so it will limit the amount of collateral damage to workers at the target sites, while taking out the sites themselves - gotta have that so we can say we're the good guys. Being their sabbath also slows their response time - look at Pearl Harbor.

[Ganja Ninja]

50. We've all seen the game plan before.

The attack will come at night beginning with cruise missile strikes and smart bomb attacks on radar and other air defense targets. Once the air defense is down they will start bombing the nuclear installations.

[roamer65]

57. If they are correct, WW 3 begins on April 6th.

[onenote]

58. if they are correct, I'll eat my hat

[Javaman]

60. Whew! that's good, I thought it was going to screw up traffic...

Sigh.

We live in a very weird world now.

I can see the previews now...

next week: Coming to you live from Tehran; the bombing of the Iranian capital!!

make sure you tuned for such spine tingling moments as...

Moron*: I don't think anyone anticipated this attack...

head guy in Iran: we have countless bodies everywhere...

Gates: we believe this was an effective strike with minimal collateral damage...

Iraqi Imam: the U.S. will now feel the full wrath of the Islamic world...

abu gonsalez(if he's still AG): this was within the powers of the president to protect the U.S. against the threat of a nuclear armed Iran...

How can you possibly not watch??

Make sure you stay tuned for our follow up report: How the world went to shit under GWB*'s watch!!!

[LSK]

61. wasnt there an exact date last year in June too?

:shrug:

[GliderGuider]

64. Yeah, the sixth - 6/6/6 as I recall.

I'm pretty leery about predictions like this. However, as others have said, we can't assume anything when it comes to this parcel of rogues.

To paraphrase the Holy Pythoneers, "Nobody expects the Bush Administration!"

[LSK]

63. nevermind
