"Operation Moyle"

That's my suggestion to the Israeli Air Force as to naming their mission into Iran. If you know what a Moyle is (or does, concerning young men) then you should be chuckling by now.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites looks "unavoidable" given the apparent failure of sanctions to deny Tehran technology with bomb-making potential, one of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's deputies said on Friday.

"If Iran continues with its program for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Transport Minister Shaul Mofaz told the mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.

"Attacking Iran, in order to stop its nuclear plans, will be unavoidable," said the former army chief who has also been defense minister.

It was the most explicit threat yet against Iran from a member of Olmert's government, which, like the Bush administration, has preferred to hint at force as a last resort should U.N. Security Council sanctions be deemed a dead end.

Iran has defied Western pressure to abandon its uranium enrichment projects, which it says are for peaceful electricity generation rather than bomb-building. The leadership in Tehran has also threatened to retaliate against Israel -- believed to have the Middle East's only atomic arsenal -- and U.S. targets in the Gulf for any attack on Iran.

Mofaz also said in the interview that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map, "would disappear before Israel does."

Subsequent to each of these statements, made near the end of June, Israel has conducted war game maneuvers. More than 100 Israeli warplanes, including F-15s and F-16s, refueling tankers and helicopters for pilot rescue, were involved in the military exercise, and flew as much as 900 miles across the Mediterranean and back. Anyone want to guess what the distance is from the primary Israeli Air base to Tehran? Ya, 900 miles. We're going to wake up in a few weeks to smoldering Iranian facilities.

And this falls under the heading of GUARANTEED to make Titus PUKE! The one the only, that colossal of media purveyors, my friend, he's like an uncle to me (and we actually spoke once) ... Rush Limbaugh has shattered all media records by inking a deal with Clear Channel to extend his broadcast through 2016 for a whopping .... drum roll ...... $400,000,000.00. That's right, 400 mil over 8 years raises his current earnings from 38 mil a year to 50. This outpaces all network anchor salaries, combined. He says he's buying a G550 private jet.... sounds cool.
