Why wasn’t that area carpet bombed and/or some A-10s sent in to make swiss cheese out of the Toyota trucks?

Have you not seen how difficult it is to kill those trucks?

And why did the CIA depose an Iranian elected leader in the first place?

In 1953, Iran was very much in danger of falling into the Soviet bloc. Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh was planning the nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC), and demanded a complete audit of their books. The British government and the US interests refused, and Mosaddegh was overthrown in a military coup organized in part by the US and Great Britain. This effectively returned rule of Iran to Mohammad-Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, who asserted an absolute monarchy for the next 26 years, until deposed by Jimmy Carter. So Iran never fell into the hands of the Soviets.

It is mathematically impossible, that all the Biblical prophesy’s coming true, especially in such a short period of time, leaves me with the only logical conclusion, that there is much more going on than people can even fathom ... GREAT DECEPTION??? Probably part of it, but ISIS. the perfect name for a radical Ancient Babylonian/Egyptian/ISLAMIC group, who kills, destroys, and all in the name of a god, who was deemed to Not be a true prophet of Israel after the time of Jesus, yet the destruction of Damascus was prophesied long before Jesus, or anyone would know if that would even remain a city in the 2nd Millennium A.D. Way too many coincidences for me on this one.

I know you mentioned Allah, and how, “there can be no “false Idols” before him. Then it hit me like a lightning bolt, what if Allah was the ultimate false Idol? That would mean that statement would be true, and no other FALSE IDOL could be in his presence if he was the only one, as in the SATAN. Not, that I think that, necessarily, but Wow, that truly rocked my psyche, as I have been researching prophesies, archaeology, and history lately, relating to just these subjects, and it is plausible, that someone claiming to be Allah, who has no accurate pictures, that were made, as it also cannot be drawn, as the religion demands it, and punishment is real.

You claim, [that] there can be no “false idols” before Allah. But the God of the Holy Bible, has a Commandment referring to not worshiping false idols, as He is jealous (and so would I, if I were the only true God, whose people/creation (us) were being usurped/deceived), and God also tells us how the false idols will be thrown into the lake of fire, after the return of Jesus. Good topics of discussion, its good to see people finally thinking critically.

Because "Democracy" in Iran leaves religious nut jobs running the country. I have no complaints regarding the CIA toppling the previous government. That is a big nothing in my opinion.

Jimmy Carter toppling the Shah was a horrible blunder. All he did was light the fuse to a world wide disaster of incalculable horribleness.

A million people are already dead because of Jimmy Carter. The Iran/Iraq war would never have occurred had the Shah still been running Iran. Iraq would never have dared attack an American Ally.

Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on earth. Being somehow suddenly destroyed would be a great sign of the LORD’s omniscience. He alone knows the beginning from the end. And the rumblings of some sort of near future ‘peace treaty’ being forced on Israel introduced by the candidate for false prophet last week is of great significance as well. For anybody who doesn't know Him, time to have a come to Jesus meeting. :) Outside of that, there is no hope for anyone or any nation.

An oil pipeline from Iraq runs through Palmyra. I believe it’s underground, at least in that area, to keep from spoiling the look of the ancient city.

A group of us from Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos during the war (soldiers, intel, journalists, scholars) are attempting to break down and destroy the Hanoi Lobby’s long-time operations to write the history of that war as portraying the US as a genocidal, imperialistic, empire-building nation.

The HL has been infiltrating the educational systems from middle schools to college with their input into teaching texts on Vietnam, since the early 1970’s, literally unchallenged as we were outnumbered, had no money (they had a shitload from leftist foundations), we had legitimate jobs and families as our primary concerns, and had the media and leftist academia on their sides.

Our writings were sporadic, but no more. We old farts are on the warpath and the Hanoi Lobby is our target. “Truth” is our weapon and we have a great research team/capability that has uncovered new documents about the communists and their genocidal policies, their lies, subversion, and propaganda operations both in Indochina and in the U.S.

For more information about our group, please go to:
www.VVFH.org (Vietnam Veterans For Factual History) or the RADIX FOUNDATION.

www.NARAConf.net (Sept. 2013, when VVFH bloodied the Left at a National Archives/Texas Tech Un. conference on Vietnam, Diem, and the year 1963. Totally destroyed the Hanoi Lovers clique with new information and old information put into a more truthful format)

www.viet-myths.net/OSpecialVVFHBookOffer.htm

Our members include combat veterans from the Marines, Army, Special Forces (5th); US provincial advisors, a POW/foreign service official, former Marine; journalists; college professors (including at least one combat vet); computer specialists, and veteran investigative researchers who have been widely published for over 40 years. Also several Vietnamese diplomats and young scholars have joined us to bring in their historical experiences and insights.

The Alawites are not going to let ISIS take the whole country. If they did, it means all the Alawites will end up in the graveyard.

But there would not have been a Shah if our CIA had not already toppled the prior elected leader., which was long before the Ayatola revolution.

So? What are you getting at? Yeah, the CIA toppled the previous government and put the Shah in charge. I don't have a problem with it. I think it was great.

Had we left things alone, we would have eventually ended up with a Islamic theocracy anyways. Notice what is happening in Turkey?

The Shah was a vast improvement over the other options.

Do you think funny money accounting would have been found if the books had been audited?

I hope you’re joking, and maybe you are. However I would sadly not be surprised if the US/West decided to inject some ‘democracy’ in Jordan.
