Bulletin: ARMAGEDDON?

If there had been any doubt as to the principal fountainhead of evil in the world today—from civilian casualties in Israel to military deaths from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Iraq to the capacity to project terror at will across the map—it is now gone.

It is Iran.

That doubt has been forever removed by the apparent disclosure of Iran's secret plan of retaliation against the United States in the event of a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Here are the major elements, as related by Regime Change in Iraq:

1- A missile strike directly targeting the US bases in the Persian Gulf and Iraq, as soon as nuclear installations are hit.

2- Suicide operations in a number of Arab and Muslim countries against US embassies and missions and US military bases and economic and oil installations related to US and British companies. The campaign might also target the economic and military installations of countries allied with the United States.

3- Launch attacks by the Basij and the Revolutionary Guards and Iraqi fighters loyal to Iran against US and British forces in Iraq, from border regions in central and southern Iraq.

4- Hezbollah to launch hundreds of rockets against military and economic targets in Israel.

Go here to read the whole thing. Just the fact—if completely true and accurate—that Iran is capable of and so inclined to evil of such magnitude ought to prompt the most serious and concerted action by the civilized nations. It certainly has the ring of truth, considering reports--published here earlier in the week--that terrorist mastermind Imad Mugniyah has been conspiring with the Iranian leader for a terrorist response to any military strike by the United States.

The source of the intelligence on this evil scheme, named al Qiyamah—appropriately, Judgment Day—had this to say about the plan's final element: "[T]his stage might represent the beginning of a world war, given that extremists will seek to maximize civilian casualties by exploding germ and chemical bombs as well as dirty nuclear bombs across western and Arab cities."

Folks, this can't be ignored. Forget the nuclear facilities. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad must be removed by a surgical decapitation strike. This rogue state must be economically embargoed while armed insurgents, bankrolled with $10 billion+ of frozen Iranian assets in the United States, take back their country.

Anything less than this, and we're all goners. The other alternatives—a nuclearized Iran or execution of the Judgment Day plan—are unthinkable.
