Russia: U.S. still preparing
cruise missile strike on Iran

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Wednesday, April 11, 2007

MOSCOW — The United States is planning to launch a war with Iran with a salvo of cruise missiles against military and other strategic facilities, a Russian official said.

A leading Russian analyst close to the government of President Vladimir Putin said the Bush administration has been preparing a major air strike against Iran. The analyst said the Iranian release of 15 British Marines abducted in early April has hampered but not canceled U.S. attack plans.

"Preparations to strike Iran's strategic facilities continue," Col. Gen. Leonid Ivashov, president of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, said. "Three major groups of U.S. forces are still in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Altogether, they have up to 450 cruise missiles on alert."

[On Tuesday, the London-based A-Sharq Al Awsat daily quoted French military sources that assessed a U.S. strike on Iran in 2007. The sources said Iran could be making a major mistake in underestimating U.S. intentions and capabilities.]

The assessment was the latest by government-financed Russian military analysts that warned of a U.S. war against Iran. Over the last two weeks, some analysts have raised the prospect of a U.S. air strike over the next few weeks.

"Combat nuclear weapons may be used for bombing," Ivashov said. "This will result in radioactive contamination of the Iranian territory, which could possibly spread to neighboring countries."

On April 8, Ivashov, who heads a government think tank, told the Interfax-AVN news agency that the U.S. Navy would be the lead service in the military campaign against Iran. He said the attack would begin with a salvo of advanced cruise missiles.

"Military operations against Teheran will begin with the launch of at least two unexpected strikes using Tomahawk cruise missiles and air power in order to disable Iran's air defense capabilities," Ivashov said.

The general said the U.S. military plans to employ up to 150 fighter-jets in the two air strikes on Iran. In the first stage, he said, the United States would destroy Iran's air defense umbrella, including the new Russian-origin TOR-M1 mobile surface-to-air missile systems.

Ivashov said the U.S. campaign would target command centers, air defense batteries, naval vessels and air bases. In the second stage, the general said, the U.S. military would target Iran's nuclear facilities.

"Nuclear facilities may be secondary targets," Ivashov said. "According to expert assessments, at least 20 such facilities need to be destroyed in order to stop Iran's nuclear program."

Ivashov said Iran could respond by firing the Shihab-3E intermediate-range missile toward Israel. He said this could result in Israeli nuclear retaliation.

"If Iran strikes back at Israel with missiles, Tel Aviv is likely to use nuclear weapons on Iran," Ivashov said. "Development of the situation would undermine stability not only in the Middle East, but also in the entire world."

So Russia's saying this. How in the Hell are we keeping all of this secret from anyone over there. The Iranians across this border must be completely clueless, without intelligence [can be taken both ways]. No reporters are mentioning any of this and believe you me if this were true, they'd be all over the place with this against Bush. Is Bush that crazy?? The sad news is that at some time in the future we will have to fight the Muslims; if they persist in their intention of our extermination in the name of Allah.

I read the last alert you posted on this subject and never have seen anything in backup. The Russians are just doing the same thing we did in Afghanistan during their occupation nightmare. And our resulting exit will probably be equally demoralizing.

 

we have a real hard time playing in our own sandbox. can we honestly expect to play in 2, 3, or more sandboxes at once?

this reminds me of our country lately:

 

lol, gotta funny bitch today!

I was using the pectoral machine in the weight room and this little b*stard kept turning up the weight. He got it to the machine's max of 250lbs AND I WAS STILL PULLING IT LIKE NO PROBLEM... LMAO!!!

 

SCREWS!!!!!!

I HATE NINTENDO SCREWS!!!!


They make it so difficult to repair your own products, and when your product is more than ten years old, you're certainly not going to send them back to Nintendo for repairs. They should change their retard-screws every five years, and began selling them publicly when they're five or ten years old, so that you can fix/mod your well-out-of-warranty devices.


Grrr.... I spent two two hours futzing with a dremel and a screwdriver and my 'virtual boy' to get it opened and repaired. I kept recutting the screwdriver into a shape that could grip the screw, and then it would snap after one screw and I get to start over again with the dremel. After opening and baking part of the system, I re-assembled it with the same screws(I don't know of any local shops that could sell me good replacement 'normal' screws) only to have it get jolted a little bit and start acting up all over again.

I *so* do not want to re-open that thing. But the screwdrivers/bits aren't sold in any 'normal' shops. Grrr.

Anyone have any suggestions without ordering online and waiting two weeks? I'm not looking at a triwing used in some of the nintendo porducts... No.... That would be easy, I'm looking at the ridiculous 'game bit' screw used in the back of gameboy cartridges... ACK!

 

Depressed? Go Play in the Dirt

Exposure to friendly soil bacteria could improve mood by boosting the immune system just as effectively as antidepressant drugs, a new study suggests.

Researchers exposed mice to a harmless soil microbe called Mycobacterium vaccae and had the rodents perform a behavioral task commonly used to test the efficacy of antidepressant drugs.

The mice were placed in a large beaker of water for five minutes and watched to see how long they continued swimming and searching for an exit before giving up. The researchers found that the bacteria-exposed mice continued paddling around much longer than the control mice.

“At the risk of anthropomorphizing, you could say the [bacteria-exposed] mice had a more active coping style,” said study leader Chris Lowry of the University of Bristol in England.

Mice given antidepressant drugs also appear more determined to escape, Lowry added. The finding is detailed online by the journal Neuroscience.

Human test

Results from the new study are similar to those from a medical trial a few years ago in which human cancer patients treated with the bacteria reported significant increases in their quality of life.

“M. vaccae is no longer being pursued as a treatment for cancer, because it didn’t prolong life, but patients did report increases in things like vitality and cognitive function and decreases in pain,” Lowry told LiveScience. Scientists still don’t know how M. vaccae improves mood. “We don’t know the mechanism. That’s something that we would desperately like to know,” Lowry said.

The researchers suspect, however, that the microbes are affecting the brain indirectly by causing immune cells to release chemicals called cytokines.

“We know that some of these cytokines can activate the nerves that relay signals from the body to the brain,” Lowry said in a telephone interview.

Serotinin link

The stimulated nerves cause certain neurons in the brain to release a chemical called serotonin into the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain known to be involved in mood regulation, among other things.

“Only a very small number of neurons in the brain make serotonin, but they have massive branching projections to every part of the brain,” Lowry said.

Scientists think the lack of serotonin in the brain is thought to cause depression in people.

Previous studies have linked early childhood exposure to bacteria to protection against allergies and asthma in adulthood. The new finding take this idea, called the “hygiene hypothesis,” a step further, and suggests bacteria-exposure not only boosts our immune systems, but alters our vulnerability to conditions such as depression as well.

“These studies help us understand how the body communicates with the brain and why a healthy immune system is important for maintaining mental health,” Lowry said. “They also leave us wondering if we shouldn’t all be spending more time playing in the dirt.”

 

So pissed!

So today in Physics, my techer got uberly pissed, and assigned 80 problems! Fu*k! I hate this, guess I won't be haveing a XBOX party tonight..

 

Physics homework, now that sounds like a long past nightmare. Gotta laugh, sorry Domreis; but better you than me. Been there done that! Never again. What no extra lab work! LMAO

 

physics major here! yeah, some days, like yesterday, i want to shoot myself.

 

Can't say I was ever there, I enjoyed being that kid who bugged all the teachers by turning in the bare minimum to skate through school and getting top scores on all those assignments.

I've become much more serious since then, and now I get to work with all kinds of hefty spreadsheets with literally thousands of formulas that I slowly sew together to get advanced figures, etc. I self taught myself after high school, and I do that for a fairly successful living. No college for me.

But then again, you'll be making a lot more than I do too, lol.

A note on seratonin from somebody who suffers with a chemical imbalance.

It is used in the optic nerve as well, for the transmission of visual purple.. As I have a low seratonin level most of the time (I live with it) taking one of the seratonin re-absorption inhibitors (anti-depressants) like seroxat changes my normal nice olde-worlde sepia tinted vision to a quite shocking shade of blue. probably it's just normal colour vision, but when you aren't used to a blue sky it's a little alarming..
So I don't take them pills.. they mess my head up.

Old MGM movies on iTunes: $10

p2pnet.net news:- We don't get it. We really don't. Do people honestly pay $10 to download old movies polluted with DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) consumer control from Apple iTunes?
Maybe they do. After all, according to Apple, some two billion people have spent a dollar or more on iTunes songs since it started four years ago.

OK. That's pitiful compared to what's happening in the real world of independent online music. But still, by corporate music standards ....

Looks like a possible subject for another p2pnet survey.

Apple is crowing about its latest deal under which it'll be flogging elderly MGM flicks such as Dances With Wolves, Mad Max and Rocky and similar shows you can rent for practically nothing at your local video store. And there's no DRM.

And, "We'd love to have all the movie studios, that's certainly our goal," Associated Press has Eddie Cue, Apple's VP of iTunes admitting. "I think it's just a matter of time."

$10 for Dancing with Wolves? Unbelievable.

You can easily find it, Mad Max and Rocky, plus thousands more, on your free p2p networks, and if you're into old movies, check out the Way Back machine. Their movies are free too.

But they say there's a sucker born every minute.

This is great!!!

WHY CAN'T ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT DO THIS?

Update on Joe Arpaio

TO THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH JOE ARPAIO

HE IS THE MARICOPA ARIZONA COUNTY SHERIFF
AND HE KEEPS GETTING ELECTED OVER AND OVER

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio

(In Arizona)

who created the

"Tent City Jail":

He has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails. Took away their weights Cut off all but "G-rated" movies.

He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then He Started

Chain Gangs For Women

So He Wouldn't Get

Sued For

Discrimination.

He took away cable TV until

he found out there was

A

Federal Court Order

that

Required Cable TV For Jails.

So He Hooked Up The Cable TV Again

Only Let In The Disney Channel And The Weather Channel.

When asked why the weather channel

He Replied,

So They Will Know

How Hot It's Gonna Be

While They Are Working

ON

My Chain Gangs.

He Cut Off Coffee

Since It Has

Zero Nutritional Value.

When the inmates complained, he told them, "This Isn't

The Ritz/Carlton.

If You Don't Like It,

Don't Come Back."

He bought Newt Gingrich' lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.
When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.


More On The Arizona Sheriff:

With Temperatures Being Even Hotter

Than Usual In Phoenix

(116 Degrees Just Set A New Record),

the Associated Press Reports:

About 2,000 Inmates Living In A Barbed-Wire-Surrounded Tent Encampment

At The

Maricopa County Jail Have Been Given Permission To Strip Down To Their Government-Issued

Pink Boxer Shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached

138 Degrees

Inside The Week Before.

Many Were Also Swathed In Wet, Pink Towels As Sweat Collected On Their Chests And Dripped Down To Their PINK SOCKS.

"It Feels Like We Are In A Furnace,"

Said James Zanzot,

An Inmate Who Has Lived In The TENTS for 1 year.

"It's Inhumane."

Joe Arpaio,

the tough-guy sheriff

who created the tent city and long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic

He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: "It's 120 Degrees In Iraq And

Our Soldiers Are Living In Tents Too,

And They Have To

Wear Full Battle Gear,

But

They Didn't Commit Any Crimes,

So Shut Your Damned Mouths!"

Way To Go, Sheriff!

Maybe if all prisons were like this one

there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders.

Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it's time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers money and enjoy things taxpayers can't afford to have for themselves.
