Important overlooked news on latest Hezbollah attacks By Olivier Guitta

1- According to Israeli Channel 10, Hezbollah was able to hack into the Israeli Army's computer systems prior to the attack.

2- For the first time, Israel mentioned the possible intervention of Iranian Revolutionary Guards based in Lebanon in the war. The danger is that they have long range rockets capable of travelling more than 200 kms and reach Tel Aviv.

3- That's why Yossi Peled, ex Israeli Commander of the Northern area, stated to Yediot Aharonot: " Tsahal's mission is today to strike at Hezbollah with such force that the movement won't survive. Even though Iran is hiding behind Hezbollah, we must focus on the immediate threats against Israel. And those are coming from Hezbollah, Lebanon and Syria."

Thanks for that link. Had bookmarked it before but neglected to check it recently.

What you've completely discounted in your post #1041 is that the Iranian leader has been among the most vociferous of all Moslems. He's called for the destruction of Israel - not once, not years ago, but many times and very recently (like this past week). The guy seems to WANT a war, to bring their 12th Imam...and whether he's certifiable or not is rather immaterial, because he controls Iran.

The whole thread started with a claim that Iranian soldiers had fired some of the rockets that hit Israel. I realize that it may turn out not to be the case (fog of war and all that), but it is certainly NOT inconceivable that this would be the case...as you've claimed. You should have more of an open mind - it certainly IS possible, and the Israelis seem to believe it, so even if a stupid thing on Iran's part, you should at least admit the possibility of it being true.

"I hardly think they are looking for "parity"."
I simply provided a quick answer based on the question. One cannot lump all the ruling factions in Iran, past and current, in one mold. There are those that would love to see Ahmadinajab booted out of power. Some key mullahs have gone directly against him when he insisted all Iranian banking assests be lumped into specific accounts in foreign banks to overt a totally shutdown of the system if things where to continue to go really bad for them on the economical side.
One can site many things that point to much real dissatisfaction with this goon ball and some fear they could end up on the short stick or worse in the grave. One cannot really use the term "they". Few of the top end go along with the Messianic crap this character adheres to. They really are rational. Many have studied in European schools etc.. They are not wild desert camel humpers. And they perfectly well know, even if they eventually could actually refine sufficient amounts of weapon grade uranium, obtain or manufacture a workable low yield atomic bomb, perhaps a few once everything truely is at a manufacturing level and quality that would permit such an activity, and perhaps make two or three a year, that Israel already have more tactical nukes then they need.
I refuse to knee jerk as some have in the past year with all those earlier on articles that varied so much as to what their uranium enrichment plan really consists of at present.
And as Iran goes deeper into economical regression, their peoples are realizing they have little future. As the mad man demands some half the population obey their versions of Sharia and go back to the stone age, internal discontent continues to build.
And they know perfectly well, that if European refineries stopped providing them with the gasoline they need (most reliable sources estimate they only can provide 50% of their needs), along with all the other petrochemicals, lubricants etc., that go along with that package, and if the US where to have to strategically take out their oil refineries, then their *sses are totally grassed.
So with not wading into long discourses to cover all the possible scenarios one can put into the over all equation, I simply threw out a quickie. I did not do it out of dis-respect.

Is that a blog? I don't think it counts

Yes but look who contributes, it is not your run of the mill blog by any stretch of the imagination.

[LurkedLongEnough]

Mark Bowden's book, "Guests of the Ayatollah: The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam" (2006) dissects the Iran hostage crisis and its aftermath to the present day, including military details of the aborted secret rescue mission.

Don't be put off by the book's length; most entertaining, instructive and thorough, including individual hostage interrogations, escape attempts, Iranian culture quirks and Carter's real military and diplomatic choices, failures and behind-the-scenes maneuverings.

And you wouldn't want to miss Hamilton Jordan's vomiting in the White House toilet either.

Watch this.

FYI- Terry Moran just said on ABC (national) nightly news that the drone that hit the Israeli warship was made in Iran.

Marking this for more review, thanks.
