"What is the signifigance of Aug 22nd? Is it a holiday for them, or was that date chosen at random by Iwannajihad?"

Like Linus waits every Halloween eve in a pumpkin patch for 'the Great Pumpkin" to appear, I suspect these sicko Iranian Mullah's think the great Mahdi will crawl out of a well on Aug 22, signaling the time to start their war. I suspect iran will try to close the shipping lanes, and we suspect they will try, which is why on Aug 21 there won't be a rowboat left in Iran without a hole shot in it.

It only gets more complicated and interesting if N. Korea or China decides to pull a stunt in that part of the world while we deal with Iran.

Speaking of N. Korea, has KJI been seen lately? Wonder if he's ever been out of the public eye this long.

Aug 22.

1. On 8/10 (today) Iran's supreme leader Khamaeni has told his country to prepare for war with Israel and the US.

2. On multiple occasions in the last two months Ahmadinejad has said that he will respond to the UN's request to end its nuclear program on Aug 22 (Aug 22 is the anniversary of mohammed's night flight where he supposedly went from saudi arabia to jerusalem to heaven and back again).

3. Ahmadinejad promised last year to "wipe Israel off the map."

4. Bernard Lewis, Princeton Prof of Middle Eastern History (and considered the foremost expert on the subject in the US if not the world) is worried

5. Ahmadinejad and Khameni believe that it is necessary to bring about the Islamic version of armageddon to bring the return of the "hidden imam"

6. A and K believe that the time is ripe for the return of said hidden imam.

He's probably busy torturing and shooting staff members for the embarrassing failure of his Taepo-Dong missile in front of his clients (Iran) and the world.

So, does this count as an imminent threat? Or do the antiwar nutjobs consider it imminent only when you can feel the attacker driving the point of the knife into your body.

The Bassij are a bunch of thugs accustomed to terrorizing unarmed people. It would do them a world of good to run into somebody who shoots back. Popcorn, anyone?

I doubt the US would be so supportive of Israel in the present conflict without realizing it could easily turn into a regional conflict involving Syria and Iran. To me this meant the US was ready for war with Iran and Syria. Such a war is inevitable, and the sooner we engage in it, the better. Time is on the side of the Islamo-Fascists running Iran.
