Report: US shipping arms ahead of strike on Iran

YNET took down the article below before I posted it. Googling turned up the Seminal article and it links to the original article. Both those articles speculated only on American intentions.

Scottish newspaper says US transferred ammunition containers with ‘bunker-buster’ bombs to Diego Garcia in Indian Ocean. Expert: They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran

Ynet 03.17.10, 08:50 / Israel News

Hundreds of powerful US “bunker-buster” bombs are being shipped from California to the British island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean ahead of a possible attack on Iran, The Herald reported Wednesday.

The Scottish newspaper said the American government signed a contract in January to transport 10 ammunition containers to the island. According to a cargo manifest from the US navy, this included 387 “Blu” bombs used for blasting hardened or underground structures, The Herald reported.

The report quoted experts as saying that the bombs are being put in place for an assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities.

According to the newspaper, although Diego Garcia is part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, it is used by the US as a military base under an agreement made in 1971.

The report said Superior Maritime Services, a shipping company based in Florida, , will be paid $699,500 to transport many thousands of military items from Concord, California, to Diego Garcia.

The cargo includes 195 smart, guided, Blu-110 bombs and 192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs, said The Herald.

Dan Plesch, director of the Center for International Studies and Diplomacy at the University of London and co-author of a recent study on US preparations for an attack on Iran was quoted by the Scottish newspaper as saying, “They are gearing up totally for the destruction of Iran. US bombers are ready today to destroy 10,000 targets in Iran in a few hours.”

According to Plesch, US President Barack Obama may decide that it would be better for the US to act instead of Israel.

“The US is not publicizing the scale of these preparations to deter Iran, tending to make confrontation more likely,” he was quoted by The Herald as saying. “The US … is using its forces as part of an overall strategy of shaping Iran’s actions.”

According to The Herald, the British Ministry of Defense has said in the past that the US would need permission to use Diego Garcia for any attack. It has already been used for strikes against Iraq during the 1991 and 2003 Gulf wars.

The report said about 50 British military staff are stationed on the island, with more than 3,200 US personnel. Part of the Chagos Archipelago, it lies about 1,000 miles from the southern coasts of India and Sri Lanka, well placed for missions to Iran.

Seeing will be believing.

Put me down in the “skeptical” column.

I think there is a better chance that Obama will convert to Judaism and change his name to Moshe Herskowitz, but time will tell.

…and pigs fly. If the article said that we planned to drop 50 million “bowing Obama” bobble-head dolls on the country, I would believe it.

I’m waiting for the Jewish people to gain some pride and self respect. Would any nation other than the Jewish state accept such an affront to it’s sovereignty and dignity by a foreign head of state within its own borders? The president of Brazil should have been kicked out and never allowed to return until he grovels and profusely apologizes.

Brazil’s President lays wreath on Arafat’s grave calls to dismantle Wets Bank security fence
Brazil’s president has placed a wreath on the tomb of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, despite criticism from Israel. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva visited Arafat’s grave Wednesday during a trip to Ramallah, where he called on Israel to dismantle the West Bank security barrier and lift its blockade on Gaza. “The world cannot accept fences of any kind,” he said.

Now this is what I would call an insult. But I don’t suppose Bibi will throw a tantrum the way Biden did and create a diplomatic crisis with Brazil.

Lula is Chavez’ lapdog.

He is a Jew hater supreme.

He was apparently in Israel to sign a multi-billion dollar trade deal that enriches his domestic benefactors.

Israel should have insisted on signing the agreement elsewhere.

Like Dachau.

my little yamit,

What do we think of Yossi Klein Halevi?

I have admired him for years, but must defer to your opinion because unlike you I have never slept with him:

JERUSALEM—Suddenly, my city feels again like a war zone. Since the suicide bombings ended in 2005, life in Jerusalem has been for the most part relatively calm. The worst disruptions have been the traffic jams resulting from construction of a light rail, just like in a normal city. But now, again, there are clusters of helmeted border police near the gates of the Old City, black smoke from burning tires in the Arab village across from my porch, young men marching with green Islamist flags toward my neighborhood, ambulances parked at strategic places ready for this city’s ultimate nightmare.

The return of menace to Jerusalem is not because a mid-level bureaucrat announced stage four of a seven-stage process in the eventual construction of 1,600 apartments in Ramat Shlomo, a Jewish neighborhood in northeast Jerusalem. Such announcements and building projects have become so routine over the years that Palestinians have scarcely responded, let alone violently. In negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis, the permanence of Ramat Shlomo, and other Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem, has been a given. Ramat Shlomo, located between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Ramot, will remain within the boundaries of Israeli Jerusalem according to every peace plan. Unlike the small Jewish enclaves inserted into Arab neighborhoods, on which Israelis are strongly divided, building in the established Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem defines the national consensus.

Why, then, the outbreak of violence now? Why Hamas’s “day of rage” over Jerusalem and the Palestinian Authority’s call to gather on the Temple Mount to “save” the Dome of the Rock from non-existent plans to build the Third Temple? Why the sudden outrage over rebuilding a synagogue, destroyed by the Jordanians in 1948, in the Old City’s Jewish Quarter, when dozens of synagogues and yeshivas have been built in the quarter without incident?

The answer lies not in Jerusalem but in Washington. By placing the issue of building in Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem at the center of the peace process, President Obama has inadvertently challenged the Palestinians to do no less…

Laura,

Just once when a foreign leader from some third world paradise decides that, while in Israel, he is going to score political points with the Arabs by making the Jews look bad–and speaking in his morally superior tone about “the world cannot accept fences of any kind”–perhaps he should be told that the world cannot accept favelas and shanty towns. Perhaps he should be shown a comparison about the quality of housing for Israel’s minorities with those of the Brazilians living in shacks on the hillsides, many the descendants of former slaves. Maybe he should be publicly lectured about how many people die from gang violence and police violence and street crime and told that is not acceptable, and how can a leader of a society with so much violence, where the rich live in gated communities, behind fences and walls, have any business telling Israel how to keep her citizens safe. Why doesn’t this asshat start by taking down all the fences, gates and walls surrounding his residence? And how many of his citizens are better clothed, better fed, receive better health care and have a longer life expectancy than those Arabs in Gaza who we always hear about being on the verge of a humanitarian crisis? Let that help persuade some foreign leaders that Israel practices reciprocity, and those who take verbal shots at Israel can expect their countries to be on the receiving end of the same. Perhaps that will shut them up!

Or how about asking him if he will condemn the fence that Saudi Arabia built on its border with Yemen and the wall that Egypt build along its border with Gaza. Not condemn all fences, but condemn those countries by name for building fences? Why just sit quietly and take it from a man who runs a country where people live like this:

I guess if it is fine for the socialist in the White House to dump on Israel, why shouldn’t the socialist in Brazil feel he can do the same?

Comment by 4infidels — March 18, 2010 @ 1:35 am

You’re absolutely right 4infidels. It’s really time to embarrass a few folks, particularly the ones who live in glasshouses - which is just about everyone who engages in criticising Israel from a “morally superior” position. Perhaps “morally supine” would be a more appropriate phrase.

Enough of delicately nuanced diplospeak. That’s for the self-proclaimed (and self-acclaimed) intellectuals.

Great interview on Fox with Obama.

For the first time in his political career, Dear Leader was aggressively challenged.

And he did quite badly.

Turns out that he is not smart/cool/suave.

That image has been cultivated by the left wing media, but it is phonier than Pam Anderson’s chest.

Comment by ayn reagan — March 18, 2010 @ 3:52 am

4infidels, if only Israel would do just that. When you act as a punching bag what else can you expect but for foreign dignitaries to get the message that they can get away with dressing down Israel in public and on Israel’s own soil with impunity. They would not dare to go into muslim countries and lecture them on their treatment of women and non-muslims.

Isolated Indigenous Peoples In Rondonia, Brazil - Genocide Alert: Public Statement

http://indigenouspeoplesissues.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4200:isolated-indigenous-peoples-in-rondonia-brazil-genocide-alert-public-statement&catid=53:south-america-indigenous-peoples&Itemid=75

Dear Mr. Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, President of the Federative Republic of Brazil

Excellency Mr. Tarso Genro, Minister of Justice of Brazil

Dear Legal Prosecutors for the Federal Attorney-General’s Office – 6th Board of Review Coordination Chamber/ Indigenous and Minorities and FAG of the State of Rondônia

We, individuals and social agents from various sectors, citizens from Brazil and from the world involved and committed to human rights and ethnic minorities, both for the protection of their physical lives as well as for the continuity of their environmental, cultural, social and immaterial heritage, express here our outcry and deep concern for the critical survival conditions of indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation and recent contact in Brazil, particularly original peoples from the state of Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon. For their distance from the dominant society and lack of voice in public and political discussion forums, those peoples survive in such conditions of social invisibility, which makes them the preferred victims of a series of deleterious actions undertaken by voracious expansion fronts, particularly in the Amazon territory.

The great mobility to which these small human groups were forced into for decades and centuries, hiding and disguising as the only possible way to survive, has repeatedly been the argument of the invaders of indigenous territories as to their “inexistence” or “indigenous peoples’ implant”, specially from those who received government land titles back in the 70’s and 80’s – precisely the period when the bloodiest genocidal actions against such peoples were perpetrated in the State of Rondônia. At the time, the developmentist perspective of the Amazon as a “land without men”, for which it would require allocating “men without land”, ignoring the immemorial indigenous presence, promoted illegal occupation and land grabbing, mostly from large land owners and exploiters coming from the centre-Southern regions of the country, who quickly subverted the logic of settlement for rural workers, relocated by official incentive. At the same time, it was conducted a brutal “territorial and ethnic cleansing” through repeated massacres inflicted upon numerous indigenous peoples. Criminal methods with refinement of cruelty, as the burning of villages, bulldozing houses, poisoning food offered with rat poison, slavery and sex abuse, summary executions by firearms, human hunt and all sorts of torture have been kept in the memory of the last survivors of recently contacted ethnic groups in Rondônia, whose statements have been silenced by fear. To our shame and astonishment, those are not remote facts, but historical events registered in recent decades, when Brazil should have been experiencing a full democratic legal State!

Recently, the last survivor of an ethnic group massacred in Rondônia, who is known as the “Man in the hole” suffered a gunshot attack by gunmen, in spite of being legally protected by a federal ban on the “Tanarú Indigenous Land” (Corumbiara, Chupinguaia, Parecis and Pimenteiras do Oeste counties - RO), which is monitored by local staff of the General Coordination of Isolated Indigenous Peoples, FUNAI [National Foundation of Indigenous Peoples]. The local FUNAI post was attacked and their sparing equipments destroyed, illustrating the intimidating criminal action which is granted with impunity to regional rulers. Not far away, in the Indigenous land Omerê, the last Akuntsú and Kanoê, together the two ethnic groups total only eight survivors. In addition to having their land invaded, they have shown serious health deficiencies which could make their immediate survival impossible, which requires urgent action and a model assistance by the Brazilian State.

It must be reiterated that there are evidences or informs about the existence of several isolated indigenous peoples in the State of Rondônia: Isolated Peoples from the source of Formoso river; Isolated Peoples from Candeias River; Isolated Peoples from Karipuninha river; Isolated Peoples from Jaci-Paraná river; Isolated Peoples from Jacundá river; Isolated Peoples from the sources of Marmelo and Maicizinho rivers; Isolated Peoples from Novo and Cachoeira do Pacaas Novas rivers; Isolated Peoples from Rebio Jaru; Isolated Peoples from Serra da Cutia; Isolated Peoples from Parque Estadual de Corumbiara; Isolated Peoples from the so called “ Man in the hole”, almost extinct in Tanarú River. There are evidences of the isolated peoples known as JURUREÍ less than 5 km from the area of BR 429 where there are plans for paving; internal FUNAI reports indicate at least five groups of isolated indigenous peoples in the area covered by the Power Plant San Antonio, Madeira river. The Indigenous Land Massaco, also inhabited by uncontacted indigenous peoples is also a territory threatened by invasions and land conflicts which can be translated into imminent genocide.

It is intolerable to society and the Brazilian State to condone or be absent in face of blatant neglect, oppression and genocide in the XXI century being perpetrated against the last free native peoples in national territory. Such peoples, regardless of their demographic fragility – the result of centuries of silent extermination in the country – are a crucial part of the cultural, social and human matrix of Brazilian nation. They are survivors worthy of our native resistance, and constitute a human, biological, cultural, historical and spiritual heritage of the Brazilian people and of humanity. They have had their most basic rights, especially to life, reviled and ignored throughout an allegedly civilizatory history of brutality during the territorial occupation of Brazil.

We demand for the last native people in Brazil the right to LIVE IN PEACE, under the EFECTIVE PROTECTION OF THE STATE and according to their human perspective as to a DIGNIFIED WAY TO CONTINUE LIVING. It is unacceptable that although legally protected by the State, indigenous peoples in isolation in Brazil remain ignored by developmentist investments, pressured and implemented by overexploitation of the last preserved niches of their forests and victimized, again, by the most vile extermination methods, which are encouraged by impunity.

-FOR THE COMMITMENT OF THE BRAZILIAN STATE WITH THE PUBLIC SAFEGUARD, SPECIAL PROTECTION AND THE UNYILDING DEFENSE OF ETHNIC, SOCIO-CULTURAL, TERRITORIAL RIGHTS AND TO THE LIFE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN VOLUNTARY ISOLATION AND RECENT CONTACT IN BRAZIL.

-FOR THE URGENT REGULARIZATION AND END OF INTRUSION IN THE INDIGENOUS LAND TANARÚ (RO), WITH THE EFFECTIVE PROTECTION TO THE LAST REMNANT OF THE PEOPLES FROM THE SO CALLED “MAN IN THE HOLE”, AS WELL AS THE LEGAL PUNISHMENT OF THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR INTIMIDATING AND CRIMINAL ACTIONS IN THE INDIGENOUS LAND TANARÚ.

- FOR URGENT AND DIFFERENTIATED MEDICAL ATTENTION, EFFICIENT AND APRPRIATE TO THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF THE LAST AKUNTSÚ AND KANOÊ IN THE INDIGENOUS LAND RIO OMERÊ (RO), AND FOR A COMPLETE STOP TO THE INTRUSION IN THEIR LAND.

- FOR THE URGENT REVIEW AND DEFINITE CONSIDERATION OF THE INDIGENOUS PRESENCE OF AUTONOMOUS GROUPS IN ISOLATION IN THE AREAS AFFECTED BY GOVERNMENT INFRA-STRUCTURE WORKS, SUCH AS INTERSTATE AND TRANSNATIONAL ROADS, HYDROELECTRIC DAMS, HYDROWAYS AND OTHER PROJECTS OF HIGH SOCIAL-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, SUCH AS THE ROAD BR 429 AND THE HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS IN MADEIRA BASIN, AMONG OTHERS.

Civil society expects attitudes form the Brazilian State that will match the urgency and social and political importance in the protection of the survival and continuity of the last autonomous indigenous peoples in Brazil, as well as the conservation and protection of their territories which are the mainstay for their lives and for their chances to have a future.

Yours sincerely, Ana Amorim

Comment by yamit82 — March 18, 2010 @ 9:52 am

my little yamit,

What do we think of Yossi Klein Halevi?

I never unlike you gave him credit for anything other than what he is a left leaning political centrist who ignores most

of the essential truths but mimics popular euphemisms mostly devoid of reality.

Fisrt he ignores all the knifings by individual Arabs against Israelis of the past two years and two bulldozer acts of

individual terrorism in the past year. So all is not quite as he states.

The he lauds BB for acceding to popular consensus of two states. Then he says that BB

has brought likud into the mainstream of political consensus, ignoring that Likud has been the dominant political party in

Israel since The late 70’s. For all practical purposes that makes Likud the real mainstream and not as he inferred a

marginal political party representing the political margins of Israeli consensus.

This fool asks why? and then comes up consistently with the wrong conclusions. I don’t hold to the notion that the

announcement s just an innocent announcement but one calculated to send messages to Obama and to the Israeli right. Israel has always used this ploy like Shamir announcing building of new settlements ea. time baker or one of his flunkies came to Jerusalem to pressure Shamir. Every Israel PM used a similar method to send a political message when under pressure.

I don’t believe BB expected the reaction and backlash and I fault him for that. Both the Palis and the Americans are looking for any excuse to further marginalize Israel in American and world public opinion. That is an initial step in their more insidious plans for us.

He paints Shas as a disinterested party except for providing housing to their constituents and are Doves politically. Not so Most of Shas supporters are more right wing than Likud., especially where Jerusalem is concerned. Halevy seems totally ignorant about religious Jews and where their red lines are drawn politically. The past is not here prologue. Shas youth are quite militantly nationalistic especially with re. to Arabs. Most would see us transfer them out of here. Are opposed to extending them political rights in Israel as well.

I live in Shas/Likud country and believe me on this. They may not challenge Rav ovadia directly but might just vote Likud or other nationalist parties in the next elections. Only the Top level of Shas supporters are religiously observant most support Shas based on ethnic considerations not religious. Most of their supporters were once Likud supporters and can easily return. Likud has always seen Shas as an extension of themselves. All of the Bureaucrats in the ministry of housing are hard right wing as opposed to other ministries.

I don’t like him or his political views.

I have admired him for years, but must defer to your opinion because unlike you I have never slept with him:

How did this one get by your sweat siren songs and sticky clutches ?

He has been interviewed for years by Dennis Prager, and always emphasizes that the Palestinians have no interest in peace.

The United States has diverted a shipment of bunker-busters designated for Israel…

In 2008, the United States approved an Israeli request for bunker-busters capable of destroying underground facilities, including Iranian nuclear weapons sites. Officials said delivery of the weapons was held up by the administration of President Barack Obama.

Since taking office, Obama has refused to approve any major Israeli requests for U.S. weapons platforms or advanced systems. Officials said this included proposed Israeli procurement of AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, refueling systems, advanced munitions and data on a stealth variant of the F-15E.

“All signs indicate that this will continue in 2010,” a congressional source familiar with the Israeli military requests said. “This is really an embargo, but nobody talks about it publicly.”
