France will lead attacks against Iran’s nuclear
installations soon and this was confirmed by French Foreign Minister Bernard
Kouchner on Sunday 16th September 2007. The French army is ready to
go on the offensive under the aegis of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) and attack Iran
any time soon despite claims by Kouchner that the attacks are not imminent.

The French government is waiting
for signals from Washington, Moscow
and Beijing
before engaging the Iranians in a swift, surgical attack on the nuclear
installations deemed illegal by the West.
Russia and China are currently against any attacks by the West on Iranian nuclear installations. They are also opposed to any U.N. sanctions against Iran. However the French government is pushing its diplomats to woo Moscow and Beijing in seeing what the West calls the dangers of allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. (to have a view of the Iranian installation at Natanz follow this link: http://vwt.d2g.com:8081/natanz.jpg). Nevertheless, reports indicate that France is possibly waiting for a change of leadership in Russia in order to push its bid for Moscow’s approval of a French or Nato attack on Natanz and Busherer, the principal known Iranian nuclear plants. Kouchner said on Sunday his country must prepare for the possibility of war against Iran over its nuclear program, but he did not believe any such action was imminent. Kouchner is actually been insincere in his predictions as he knows the timeline for a possible ‘Western’ attack against Iran.
Such an attack will possibly not
involve the U.S. or Israeli air forces but will engage the Nato (which is under
the command of the U.S.) in a desperate attempt to clear the U.S. out of any
consequences of such an attack. Possibilities of having Turkey, another strong
Nato member to be involved in the attacks against Teheran is not confirmed as
the Turkish army will have to depend on decisions made by a pro-Islamic regime
headed by Tayyib Erdogan.
In 2006, World Futures wrote that France will be picked by the U.S. to act as the main front against Iran with Germany possibly supporting within the Nato military structures. France has grown increasingly pro-war and is quickly adopting the U.S. policies of pre-emptive strikes against so called terror and nuclear targets. The current regime headed by Nicolas Sarkozy the new President of France is seen as anti-Muslim and will support any attacks against suspected ‘terror’ sanctuaries in the Muslim world. France is yet to show its true colors under Sarkozy but the statements by Kouchner are revealing the true picture of the New France. Kouchner believe that the world's major powers (which include France) should use further sanctions to show they were serious about stopping Tehran getting atom bombs, and said France had asked French firms not to bid for tenders in the Islamic Republic. "We must prepare for the worst," Kouchner said in an interview, adding: "The worst, sir, is war." Asked about the preparations, he said it was normal to prepare for various eventualities. "We are preparing ourselves by trying to put together plans that are the chiefs of staff's prerogative (but) that is not about to happen tomorrow," he added. Tehran insists it only wants to master nuclear technology to produce electricity, but it has yet to comply with repeated U.N. demands that it suspend uranium enrichment and other sensitive work that could potentially be used in producing weapons. Kouchner's comments follow a similarly hawkish statement by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said last month in his first major foreign policy speech since taking office that a diplomatic push by the world's powers was the only alternative to "an Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran." Asked if France was involved in any planning towards war, he said: "The French army is not at the moment associated with anything at all, nor with any maneuver at all." France is lying to the world about plans to attack Iran and about the motives for such an attack. The U.S. will not engage Tehran military until Iraq is pacified, which is a long shot due to recent events that has acted as a slap in the face of Washington. The French army, according to sources, is being prepared for the eventuality of a war against ‘terror’ nations which includes Somalia, Sudan and Iran as well as a possible entry of French troops in parts of Iraq. The army is also preparing for eventual pre-emptive strikes under the leadership of the Nato in Iran, Somalia or even Sudan or elsewhere in the world in an attempt to take the lead behind the U.S. in the war against terror (which is a war of supremacy against the Muslims in general). The French army will be used to carry out the attacks in a bid by Washington to divert the World’s attention from its failed actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will also be the living proof that the U.S. is not alone in the war on terror and that the West does believe that terrorism is a scrooge that it want to get rid of. France is also verbally banning French companies from bidding for contracts in Iran. Germany has already done so since 2006 and is still putting pressure on companies that has links with Iranian companies. Kouchner said France had asked its biggest companies, including oil giant Total and gas firm Gaz de France, not to bid for projects in Iran. "We have already asked a certain number of our large companies to not respond to tenders, and it is a way of signaling that we are serious," Kouchner said. "We are not banning French companies from submitting. We have advised them not to. These are private companies. But I think that it has been heard and we are not the only ones to have done this." In addition, Paris and Berlin were preparing possible European Union economic sanctions against Tehran, Kouchner said. "We have decided to ... prepare ourselves for possible sanctions outside the U.N. sanctions and which would be European sanctions. Our German friends proposed it. We discussed it a few days ago," Kouchner said. The attacks against Iran will be imminent as soon as more foreign troops leaves Iran which will show the World that Iraq is stable and could bring the Americans to press the French to launch the decisive strikes against Iranian targets. The U.S. is particularly weary and afraid of the reaction of Shia militants in Iraq in the event of a direct U.S. involvement in attacks on Iran. Comments (0)

Israel's ground offensive is reaching a critical stage where its forces may soon have to face Hamas fighters on their chosen killing ground, the narrow, winding alleyways of Gaza City.
A gold mania could happen.
Here's why... Gold manias begin when investors flee real estate, currencies, bonds, and stocks because their prospects are so bleak. We're close to that right now.

LAHORE, Pakistan — When Muhammad Saad Iqbal arrived home here in August after more than six years in American custody, including five at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, he had difficulty walking, his left ear was severely infected, and he was dependent on a cocktail of antibiotics and antidepressants.
