Its pretty well all hitting the fan at the same time. Today Turkey has fallen to the AKP Islamists, the combined forces of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and others are all preparing for war. And to top it all off, my dumb old dog died this morning. Not a great day.
“There are similarities between Israel’s current situation in the face of Iran, and the situation Israel faced 40 years ago on the eve of the Six-Day War, and back then an emergency government was established. He said that then, like today, a fundamentalist yet inexperienced regime was developing in Arab nations, and it could result in confrontation.”
Before reading the following article, this one, from which the quote above was pulled, speaking of the recent nuclear deal between Iran and Syria is necessary to understand the context.
Our Iranian and intelligence sources reveal that the Iranian president flew out of Damascus Thursday with this group saying: “I prefer cooler places but this region faces a torrid summer of victories.”
Aboard his plane were four HIzballlah leaders, Secy-Gen. Hassan Nasrallah, defense chief Imad Mughniyeh, chief of staff Ibrahim Aqil and chief of special operations Unit 1800 Hajj Khalil Harb; and Jihad Islami’s Abdallah Ramadan Shalah and operations chief Zaid Nahle.
Head of Hamas’ Damascus HQ Khaled Meshaal did not join the party flying to Tehran to avoid giving his Saudi and Egyptian friends the impression he was in Iran’s pocket. Either he flew there earlier, or else assigned a Hamas representative based in the Gulf to represent his moement at the council of war in Tehran.
As for Syria’s role, DEBKAfile’s military sources reveal that 20 high-ranking Iranian officers were on the Iran president’s flight to Damascus, headed by defense minister Mustafa Najar. They did not join Ahmadinejad’s talks with Syrian president Bashar Assad. Instead, they were driven to Syrian General Staff headquarters, where they were awaited by Syrian defense minister Gen. Hassan Turkmani, chief of staff Gen. Ali Habib and corps commanders.
Our intelligence sources believe this conference was in fact round one of the council of war which continued in Tehran Friday with Hizballah and Palestinian terrorist chiefs.
The most urgent decision facing the Iran-Syrian alliance concerns Lebanon and how far they can go to get rid of the pro-Western Siniora government in Beirut. Both Iran and Syria understand the United States and France will not stand for its ouster by military or terrorist means. But time is running out. The international tribunal is about to be installed to start hearing the Hariri assassination case and must be stopped before Assad and aides are prosecuted. Tehran and Damascus must decide quickly whether to focus on subversive action inside Lebanon or resort to diversionary tactics such as fomenting trouble against Israel on the Golan, from the Lebanese border or from Gaza.
Before Ahmadinejad and party departed Damascus Thursday night, they visited two important Shiite shrines and prayed for victory in the near future. Witnesses heard the Iranian president sobbing loudly.
DEBKAfile sources refute the Shawq al-Awsat claim Saturday, July 21,that the Iranian president rewarded Assad for abandoning its quest for a peace track with Israel by one billion dollars for arms purchases from Russia and North Korea - plus Iranian backing on Lebanon issues. The arms Iranian-funded arms deals have been in progress since the beginning of this year, long before Ahmadinejad’s Damascus visit.
Hizballah’s Nasrallah declares in a war speech from Tehran he has missiles which can reach all parts of Israel including Tel Aviv
As DEBKAfile reported exclusively, Hassan Nasrallah recorded his speech Saturday, July 21, in Tehran for broadcast Monday, July 23 by al Jazeera TV. The station began running a promo Sunday night in which the Hizballah leader also said he had refrained from blasting Tel Aviv in the 2006 war from choice.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is holding a two-day council of war with leaders of Hizballah, Hamas and other Palestinian radical groups, as the second round of the talks he and Iranian military chiefs held in Damascus Friday with Syrian president Bashar Assad and heads of his armed forces.
We have also learned that Al Jazeera paid a high fee for exclusive use of the Nasrallah tape, keen to preserve its lead as the preferred platform for top-line radical Muslims, such as al Qaeda big shots.
....this is all very disconcerting.
The pedophile flat earth cult is perfect and demands your submission.
What a great time to drop a big bomb on Tehran.
The message from Washington to Tehran for which we are still waiting: Make My Day.
............................................................................. "Go ahead, make my day".
if these folks are all in one place, hit it....
Jimmuh Cahtuh must be extra proud of himself right about now.
Well, everything is going their way. Israel under Olmert is a sitting duck and will not do what is necessary to defend itself. Unfortunately, I have pretty much lost all confidence in Bush to get tough with this evil cabal. (What did it for me was Bush’s appalling refusal to do anything to secure our national borders, which indicated to me he is not at all serious about fighting islamofacsism.) Yeah, it’s going to get hot, and no one is going to stop it. And the islamofascists know it.
And those are the bases we know about....
You’re right, and frankly we haven’t the manpower or the will to deal with Iran. A couple of Daisy cutters isn’t going to do it.

Bump

“....this is all very disconcerting.”
I don’t think so. The first thing to understand is Israel knows that troops will not be coming in from Jordan or Egypt. It is assumed that there will be a missile barrage from Lebanon, Gaza and the WB and Hamas and Hizbollah will be the troops Israel fights.
Iran has no launch point for its own missiles unless they move them. And these are the missiles Israel will be able to shoot down.
Israels main problem is citizenry in Gaza and the WB who Hamas and Hizzys will hide behind. What they don’t take into consideration is Gaza and WB are not sovereign like Lebanon. Israel will go in and wipe them out, which is probably why they let Hamas have Gaza. They now know the enemy there.
I wouldn’t be suprised if our military and diplomats have spoken to France about being in Lebanon.
In this day and age of technology and intel, Israel can see what is going on. They know who is moving what where. If they can manage the media better, they will destroy Irans proxy army, plant a couple of subs in the gulf and threaten to destroy Irans oil terminals.
Don’t discount Israel.
It is assumed that there will be a missile barrage from Lebanon, Gaza and the WB and Hamas and Hizbollah will be the troops Israel fights.What about Iran launching from Iraq? It would create great confusion and they have the capacity. Hell, they're hitting us from Iraq.

“What about Iran launching from Iraq? It would create great confusion and they have the capacity. Hell, they’re hitting us from Iraq.”
Won’t happen. Iran doesn’t want a war with us. They really don’t. But like all nutcases, they might try to pull something off then hide like the girliemen they are behind the NY Times skirts.
You’re thinking what most Americans are,
Iran, Syria, Pelosi, Hezbollah, Hamas and jihadi leaders gather in Iran for “Council of War”
Look out 3rd World, and other defenseless people, such as woman, children and the handicap.
