Status: offline 		In a surprising rebuff to US and Israeli warmongering, the usually servile UK Govt has refused to allow the US Air Force to re-fuel planes on a possible Iran strike to use UK facilities. Permission, usually granted on a routine basis, was refused because a pre-emptive strike against Iran would be a unequivocal breach of international law.

"[legal advice from the UK Attorney-general] states that providing assistance to forces that could be involved in a pre-emptive strike would be a clear breach of international law on the basis that Iran, which has consistently denied it has plans to develop a nuclear weapon, does not currently represent "a clear and present threat".

"The UK would be in breach of international law if it facilitated what amounted to a pre-emptive strike on Iran," said a senior Whitehall source. "It is explicit. The government has been using this to push back against the Americans."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/26/iran-military-action-downing-street

So much for the "existential" threat against Netanyahoo continually alleges. This rebuff, from the US's primary ally and loyal partner in its current Middle Eastern military adventures, serves as another indicator of how increasingly isolated Israel is internationally, the illegality of any pre-emptive strike on Iran, and how badly hawks in Israel the US have mis-judged the international community on this issue.

Should international law prevail on this issue?

I recall from my history classes another group, bent on world domination and destroying the Jews, that the British tried to appease.

Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, and Field Marshal Montgomery, all lived with the ghosts of the Somme. Binyyameen Netanyahu, lives with the ghosts of Auschwitz.


"Peace in our time." (1938) Heh.

Hell there are voices in Israel who are pleading for restraint,to let the sanctions do their work,it's only Netenayhu(sp?) and Romney who are beating the histrionic shrill call for immediate action

I was not refused because it was never asked tweak.

Lol,I'm thinking that was a reference to another thread.....one in which you were being entirely too harsh.
I really see no reason to carry over yesterdays "battles" Rich,each day brings it's very own new set...so why bother

Have you ever listened to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? "They gathered, organized and armed the dirties[sic], filthiest and most criminal so-called humans from different parts of the world more than 60 years ago under a false and void excuse and through making fake news and stories. They occupied the Palestinian territories and made the Palestinian nation homeless through their military and propaganda supports" Fars News Agency, Official Iranian Media Translation, unedited, June 16, 2010

So-called humans? Really now.

In a speech to the United Nations on 26 September 2012, which some media said was notable for having "none of the usual dishevelled extremism" or "sabre rattling" that he is known for, Ahmadinejad called for a new world order not dominated by Western powers and condemned the continual threats of military action against Iran by "uncivilized Zionists."

"Many who are disappointed in the struggle between the Islamic world and the infidels have tried to spread the blame. They say it is not possible to have a world without the United States and Zionism. But you know that this is a possible goal and slogan." New York Times, translation, October 30, 2005


Yep, he sure is a great guy!
