Την ώρα που ο λαός στην Ελλάδα πλήρως αποπροσανατολισμένος, κυριολεκτικά πεινάει, το πετρέλαιο έχει πάρει την άγουσα για τα 250$ το βαρέλι και οι πολιτικοί μας "χαριαιτίζονται" με τα πάσης φύσεως σκάνδαλα και την εν γένη πολιτική κατάπτωση και απόπτωση της χώρας, την ίδια στιγμή οι Ισραηλινοί αλωνίζουν πάνω από τον εναέριο χώρο της Ελλάδος στα νότια ανατολικά της χώρας κάνοντας ασκήσεις θανάτου εν όψει πιθανής επίθεσης εναντίον του Ιράν! Ενδεχομενο που αν τελικά συμβεί θα έχει τραγικές επιπτώσεις και για την Ελλάδα! Πολεμική άσκηση πρόβα τζενεράλε εν όψει ενδεχόμενης επίθεσης εναντίον του Ιράν - κάτι που εδώ στις ΗΠΑ φημολογείται εδώ και μήνες-πραγματοποιήσε το Ισραήλ την πρώτη εβδομάδα του Ιουνίου πετώντας πάνω από τον εναέριο χώρο στα ανατολικά της Ελλάδας!
Στην άσκηση έλαβαν μέρος περόπου 100 οπλισμένα και επανδρωμένα αεροσκάφη F-16 και F-15 ενώ συμετείχαν και ειδικά ελικόπτερα διάσωσης επίσης πλήρως επανδρωμένα. Η άσκηση σύμφωνα με ανώτερο στρατιωτικό του Ισραήλ ήταν ένα σαφές μήνυμα "προς το Ιράν αλλά και προς Αμερική και Ε.Ε. ότι το Ισραήλ είναι έτοιμο να διεξάγει επιχειρήσεις εναντίον του Ιράν αν δεν σταματήσει ο εμπλουτισμός ουρανίου από την χώρα αυτή" Τα κρίσημα ερώτηματα που τίθενται είναι αν και κατά πόσο γνώριζε το ελληνικό πεντάγωνο για την διεξαγωγή αυτής της άσκησης; Αν υποβλήθηκαν σχέδια πτήσεων και αν παρείχαμε οποιδήποτε διευκόλυνση(στάθμευση, παροχή καυσίμων κτλ) στα αεροπλάνα και τα ελικόπτερα που έλαβαν μέρος. Αν είχε ενημεωρθεί το αρχηγείο του ΝΑΤΟ στην περιοχή; και έχει σημασία αυτό για τις μελλοντικές εξελίξεις... Η άσκηση σύμφωνα με ανώτερο αξιωματικό του αμερικανικού πενταγώνου ήταν σε πλήρη γνώση της Ουάσιγκτον και αποτελεί μέρος ενός στρατιωτικού σχεδίου αιφνιδιαστικής επίθεσης εναντίον του Ιράν. Επίθεση από αέρος εκ μέρους του Ισραήλ (το οποίο αισθάνεται την απειλή του Ιράν) όπως λέγεται δεν αποκλείεται να συμβεί το προσεχές διάστημα ίσως και πριν τις αμερικανικές εκλογές...Κάτι που μετ επιτάσεως ακούγεται και γράφεται σε αρκετά αμερικανικά ΜΜΕ εδώ και μήνες... Διαβάστε την είδηση σχετικά με την άσκηση που δημοσιεύεται - την παραθέτουμε αυτούσια παρακάτω - σήμερα στο φύλλο των New York Times για να καταλάβεται πολύ περισσότερα από όσα γράφονται στο συγκεκριμένο άρθρο.
U.S. Says Exercise by Israel Seemed Directed at Iran
By MICHAEL R. GORDON and ERIC SCHMITT Published: June 20, 2008
WASHINGTON - Israel carried out a major military exercise earlier this month that American officials say appeared to be a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Times Topics: Iran's Nuclear Program
Several American officials said the Israeli exercise appeared to be an effort to develop the military's capacity to carry out long-range strikes and to demonstrate the seriousness with which Israel views Iran's nuclear program.
More than 100 Israeli F-16 and F-15 fighters participated in the maneuvers, which were carried out over the eastern Mediterranean and over Greece during the first week of June, American officials said.
The exercise also included Israeli helicopters that could be used to rescue downed pilots. The helicopters and refueling tankers flew more than 900 miles, which is about the same distance between Israel and Iran's uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, American officials said.
Israeli officials declined to discuss the details of the exercise. A spokesman for the Israeli military would say only that the country's air force "regularly trains for various missions in order to confront and meet the challenges posed by the threats facing Israel."
But the scope of the Israeli exercise virtually guaranteed that it would be noticed by American and other foreign intelligence agencies. A senior Pentagon official who has been briefed on the exercise, and who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the political delicacy of the matter, said the exercise appeared to serve multiple purposes.
One Israeli goal, the Pentagon official said, was to practice flight tactics, aerial refueling and all other details of a possible strike against Iran's nuclear installations and its long-range conventional missiles.
A second, the official said, was to send a clear message to the United States and other countries that Israel was prepared to act militarily if diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from producing bomb-grade uranium continued to falter.
"They wanted us to know, they wanted the Europeans to know, and they wanted the Iranians to know," the Pentagon official said. "There's a lot of signaling going on at different levels."
Several American officials said they did not believe that the Israeli government had concluded that it must attack Iran and did not think that such a strike was imminent.
Shaul Mofaz, a former Israeli defense minister who is now a deputy prime minister, warned in a recent interview with the Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot that Israel might have no choice but to attack. "If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack," Mr. Mofaz said in the interview published on June 6, the day after the unpublicized exercise ended. "Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable."
But Mr. Mofaz was criticized by other Israeli politicians as seeking to enhance his own standing as questions mount about whether the embattled Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, can hang on to power.
Israeli officials have told their American counterparts that Mr. Mofaz's statement does not represent official policy. But American officials were also told that Israel had prepared plans for striking nuclear targets in Iran and could carry them out if needed.
Iran has shown signs that it is taking the Israeli warnings seriously, by beefing up its air defenses in recent weeks, including increasing air patrols. In one instance, Iran scrambled F-4 jets to double-check an Iraqi civilian flight from Baghdad to Tehran.
"They are clearly nervous about this and have their air defense on guard," a Bush administration official said of the Iranians.
Any Israeli attack against Iran's nuclear facilities would confront a number of challenges. Many American experts say they believe that such an attack could delay but not eliminate Iran's nuclear program. Much of the program's infrastructure is buried under earth and concrete and installed in long tunnels or hallways, making precise targeting difficult. There is also concern that not all of the facilities have been detected. To inflict maximum damage, multiple attacks might be necessary, which many analysts say is beyond Israel's ability at this time.
But waiting also entails risks for the Israelis. Israeli officials have repeatedly expressed fears that Iran will soon master the technology it needs to produce substantial quantities of highly enriched uranium for nuclear weapons.
Iran is also taking steps to better defend its nuclear facilities. Two sets of advance Russian-made radar systems were recently delivered to Iran. The radar will enhance Iran's ability to detect planes flying at low altitude.
Mike McConnell, the director of national intelligence, said in February that Iran was close to acquiring Russian-produced SA-20 surface-to-air missiles. American military officials said that the deployment of such systems would hamper Israel's attack planning, putting pressure on Israel to act before the missiles are fielded.
For both the United States and Israel, Iran's nuclear program has been a persistent worry. A National Intelligence Estimate that was issued in December by American intelligence agencies asserted that Iran had suspended work on weapons design in late 2003. The report stated that it was unclear if that work had resumed. It also noted that Iran's work on uranium enrichment and on missiles, two steps that Iran would need to take to field a nuclear weapon, had continued.
In late May, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iran's suspected work on nuclear matters was a "matter of serious concern" and that the Iranians owed the agency "substantial explanations."
Over the past three decades, Israel has carried out two unilateral attacks against suspected nuclear sites in the Middle East. In 1981, Israeli jets conducted a raid against Iraq's nuclear plant at Osirak after concluding that it was part of Saddam Hussein's program to develop nuclear weapons. In September, Israeli aircraft bombed a structure in Syria that American officials said housed a nuclear reactor built with the aid of North Korea.
The United States protested the Israeli strike against Iraq in 1981, but its comments in recent months have amounted to an implicit endorsement of the Israeli strike in Syria.
Pentagon officials said that Israel's air forces usually conducted a major early summer training exercise, often flying over the Mediterranean or training ranges in Turkey where they practice bombing runs and aerial refueling. But the exercise this month involved a larger number of aircraft than had been previously observed, and included a lengthy combat rescue mission.
Much of the planning appears to reflect a commitment by Israel's military leaders to ensure that its armed forces are adequately equipped and trained, an imperative driven home by the difficulties the Israeli military encountered in its Lebanon operation against Hezbollah.
"They rehearse it, rehearse it and rehearse it, so if they actually have to do it, they're ready," the Pentagon official said. "They're not taking any options off the table."

To taxalia, που ανησυχεί πολύ για την ανόητη εμπλοκή της Ελλάδας, σε μια άσκηση απολύτως ασύμβατη με το αμυντικό μας δόγμα, άκουσε και διάβασε με προσοχή, τη συνέντευξη τύπου του εκπροσώπου του Λευκού οίκου Son McCORMACK (δείτε την ολόκληρη στο βίντεο).
Τα σημαντικότερα σημεία της, απομαγνητοφωνημένα από το state department παρακάτω. Όπως θα διαβάσετε, οι δημοσιογράφοι (μεταξύ αυτών ο Λάμπρος Παπαντωνίου), μιλούν για την "Αποκάλυψη", για "3ο παγκόσμιο πόλεμο" και εμάς δε μας φαίνονται καθόλου αστεία αυτά! ΘΕΛΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΜΑΘΟΥΜΕ ΠΟΙΟΣ ΜΑΣ ΕΜΠΛΕΞΕ ΣΕ ΑΥΤΗ ΤΗΝ ΑΣΚΗΣΗ!

Πανηγυρίζει η μεγαλύτερη εφημερίδα του Ισραήλ, Jerusalem Post στις 10-6-2008, με θέμα: "Εβραίος στρατηγός ο νέος αρχηγός της USAF" (United States Air Force - το αντίστοιχο Γ.Ε.Α., δηλαδή ο Αρχηγός της Αμερικανικής Αεροπορίας).
QUESTION: On the news today of a large Israeli operation – air operation training exercise that may be a demonstration project for future endeavors in Iran?
QUESTION: Sean, would the U.S. support Israeli air strikes against Iran?
MR. MCCORMACK: Well, we’ve made clear what our focus is.
QUESTION: You actually seem to think that this joint Israeli/Greek exercise is a harbinger of the coming apocalypse, right?
MR. MCCORMACK: (Laughter.) Again, I would not – I would not --
QUESTION: (Inaudible) coming of apocalypse, World War Three here?
MR. MCCORMACK: I would not put it that way.
QUESTION: You mentioned early on that Israel views Iran as an existential threat?
MR. MCCORMACK: Mm-hmm. That’s my --
QUESTION: Maybe I’m wrong, but I think they regard it as more than an existential threat. And does the U.S. regard Iran as an existential threat or --
MR. MCCORMACK: I don’t know --
QUESTION: -- or an actual tangible threat to Israel?
MR. MCCORMACK: Well, existential as in meaning – threatening their existence, so I’m not sure that that --
QUESTION: That’s what you mean by existential?
MR. MCCORMACK: Yes. I’m not being philosophical here.
QUESTION: No --
MR. MCCORMACK: No, as in a very real threat to their existence, and certainly we understand that.
Okay. Anything else on this?
QUESTION: Yes.
MR. MCCORMACK: Lambros.
QUESTION: Yes. According to New York Times, the –
MR. MCCORMACK: I want to see how you (inaudible).
QUESTION: -- Israeli plane used the Greek airspace target in Iran in full cooperation --
MR. MCCORMACK: Ah, yes.
QUESTION: -- with Athens. Since you’re concerned for Iran, the matter is political. And what countries are allied to the U.S.? I would like you to comment on that.
MR. MCCORMACK: You know, to the extent that there was, in fact, some military exercise involving Greek airspace in Greek territory, I think you can talk to the Greek Government about that.
QUESTION: I know, but does the U.S. Government, since you are very concerned for Iran, both are allies, I would welcome your comment. It’s not a hypothetical question, it’s a fact.
MR. MCCORMACK: It’s a fact, and having nothing to do with us, in terms of being involved in the military exercise involving Israel and Greece.
QUESTION: Did you hear the (inaudible)?
MR. MCCORMACK: No.
