Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 (I tried getting the original up on screen .... sadly it has now gone!) Saudi Paper: Prepare for radioactive fallout. by Jim P Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 11:57:23 PM PDT Go To Original. According to Chris Floyd at Empire Burlesque, .... the Saudi government is now preparing plans to deal with "any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards" that may arise from an attack on Iran's nuclear reactors. This was reported by a top Saudi newspaper, Okaz, and relayed by a leading German news service, dpa -- one day after Dick Cheney paid a visit to the kingdom. As we noted, no one knows exactly what was said at that confab of allied authoritarians -- but something sure lit a fire under the Saudis, and convinced them that urgent action is needed to brace for the lethal overspill from a strike on Iran. Floyd points out that nothing in Saudi Arabia becomes the top news story without government approval. That such a story should be released the day after Cheney's visit, sends a message to everyone about what is on Cheney's mind. Combined with the dismissal of Fallon, Petreus' claim to have evidence (which he doesn't produce) that Iran was responsible for the recent shelling of the Green Zone, and the Egyptian report that a nuclear sub has been ordered by Bush into the Gulf, the bleak picture in both Pakistan and Afghanistan (accelerating collapse of Musharraf's power and strategy, the coming spring offensive in the Taliban's announced drive for Kabu), ... plus the oft-stated desire of Bush and Cheney to attack Iran, and, as noted by former mideast policy official William K. Polk at Juan Cole's site just a few days ago, the last time Cheney visited the nations he visited this time was right before the Iraq attack. plus, only a moron would deny that Bush and Dick have nothing but contempt for the will of the people, congress and the courts, and crave war like a junkie craves his fix, AND the coming Presidential election well, add all that together... Polk's essay linked above is a very compelling assembly of all the reasons it looks like an Iran attack is in the making and will soon be launched. I can only hope the Saudi King looked at Dick Cheney and said "Go f* yourself.' Not that that would change any of his plans. Should it happen, remember that any release of nuclear materials, or use of nuclear weapons will be an attack not only on Iran, but the entire region with fallout reaching even the US eventually. Which of our candidates, who among our Democratic leadership, will speak out strongly to stop this coming nightmare? http://www.grisoft.com Anti-Virus Scanned this message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I think the fall out can be expected from when Iran is being nuked...
