Despite President Bush’s perpetually abysmal approval ratings, it appears his increasingly hostile rhetoric against Iran has drummed up enough fear of a “nuclear holocaust” or a World War III that a majority of Americans are in favor of a US strike against the country aimed a curtailing its apparent nuclear ambitions, a new poll shows.

It seems there is lots of evidence that last month’s attack by Israel on a Syrian facility was actually a potential nuclear facility. See links below:

Independent analysts say Israel did bomb a partially built nuclear reactor in Syria last month.

David Albright and Paul Brannan of ISIS have produced a short report based on digital imagery from August that claims to have located the Syrian site that was bombed by Israel in September. Their conclusion: it looks pretty similar to a North Korean reactor.

Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that the Iranians will choose to use a “dirty bomb”- a conventional warhead equipped with radioactive materials. Building it does not require a broad infrastructure, and the needed radioactive material is widely available across the world. In such case, there will not be a nuclear explosion or a chain reaction, yet the detonation of the conventional warhead will spread radioactive materials in the air – a similar effect to the one created by chemical weapons.

It costs approximately US$1 million to kill one person with nuclear weapons-of-mass destruction but only approximately US$1 to kill one person with biological weapons-of-mass destruction. Bioweapons are truly the “poor man’s nukes”. The Iranians are known to have a biological weapons program and they, and their allies, certainly have the means to deliver biowar agents into the Israeli and European and North American homelands.

“Iran will probably be bombed. The political will is there together with disregard for truth. The justification is the same as that for invading Iraq – Iran has weapons of mass destruction, is a danger to the West and is supporting terrorism.”

It’s a nuclear-armed Muslim power stumbling back toward democracy after seven years of military rule. And it faces a growing insurgency by radical Islamists supporting the Taliban and al-Qaida in its Western provinces, in a chaotic social landscape scoured by fierce political rivalries.

Israel’s air attack on Syria last month was directed against a site that Israeli and American intelligence analysts judged was a partly constructed nuclear reactor, apparently modeled on one North Korea has used to create its stockpile of nuclear weapons fuel, according to American and foreign officials with access to the intelligence reports.
