Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - August 2006

Posted on 08/01/2006 9:51:52 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Syria Tells Troops to Be Ready for Battle
(Full Story)

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has placed his military on full alert, citing "regional challenges", and vowed to continue supporting the "Palestinian and Lebanese resistance more than ever".

In a speech to mark the Syrian Army national day, Mr Assad said the volatile situation across the Middle East required "vigilance, preparation and readiness" and ordered all units of the armed forces to be on alert.

The comments were interpreted by Israel as a morale booster to the Syrian armed forces and not a call to battle. Israeli intelligence chiefs have assessed that Syria is not in the mood for an open war and is instead content to resupply Hezbollah guerillas in Lebanon.

I watched that FOX analyst COL David Hunt yesterday make mention of the BEKKAH VALLEY (I'm sure I misspelled it) as a place where the IDF might stumble onto some of the WMD sent from Iran. Can you highlight this area on your map?

ALSO, remember several evolutions of TM maybe back as far as last year we were talking about the next wave of 911 type attacks on US soil and the concensus was that things would start rolling in Europe first then the UK and quickly spread to the U.S. Do you remember that whole sequence, Godzilla? Do you think this is what we are seeing NOW?

If the gound invasion does roll forward, what role will Syria and Iran play in an overt manner? Syria and Iran seemed to have mobilized some fairly ummmm assertive hardware and troops. If they jump in, to what extent will the more moderate nations like Egypt and Saudi also see this as a chance to exterminate Zionism and also pile on...even at the risk of jarring some close financial ties to the west?

The Bekkah valley is a considerable distance north of the map. I'll try to get a better figure over the next couple of days.

ALSO, remember several evolutions of TM maybe back as far as last year we were talking about the next wave of 911 type attacks on US soil and the concensus was that things would start rolling in Europe first then the UK and quickly spread to the U.S. Do you remember that whole sequence, Godzilla? Do you think this is what we are seeing NOW?

I remember the sequence. Europe is a terror nightmare because of the way moslems have immigrated into it. However, there have been persistent rumors of a BIG event, and I think that these are parts of it. May not match the sequence that was discussed, but the scope of this may now be getting bigger, especially if intel / evidence links others.

If the gound invasion does roll forward, what role will Syria and Iran play in an overt manner? Syria and Iran seemed to have mobilized some fairly ummmm assertive hardware and troops.

Unless they directly instigate something, they'll hide behind Hezbollah. Syria has out dated and poorly maintained equipment, they'd get creamed. Their only punch would be from FROG and SCUD equivalents. Iran has no way to reach Israel except via missiles. If they do something stupid, they would get seriously wacked by the US as an excuse to take out their nuclear program.

If they jump in, to what extent will the more moderate nations like Egypt and Saudi also see this as a chance to exterminate Zionism and also pile on...even at the risk of jarring some close financial ties to the west?

I doubt they would join in. This is a Shia - Sunni split and so far the arab world hasn't been too excited about supporting the Hezbollah/Iran axis because of the Mad One's secondary intentions of controlling the region.

I have this vision in my head of these 3 guys taking turns going back in line to buy 3 phones at a time. ROFL.

"Hello cashier - me again. Nothing suspicious here...just buying 3 phones."

Big thank you for the summaries Godzilla. Israel/IDF needs to finish this fight now, not later.

Italian news reports sound like these guys arrested were not connected to the plot uncovered yesterday. I will have to try to find more on this.
