I think with the way that Iran has been acting that they have already bought some nukes to set off on the ground in Israel or elsewhere.

IMO we are possibly going to see one of those go off somewhere and you will really see this go to hell.

[keats5]

Iraq would be a good place to base our operations if we had an all out war with Iran.

[No Blue States]

What a great use of IDF resources.

Im sure there was a baby formula factory in the middle of the terrorist camp as the wedding went on.

[combat_boots]

I can just imagine the behind the scenes crap going on now.

It is interesting that although we can google or search elsewhere for Iran and Lebanon to confirm presence of Iranian forces and assets in Lebanon for a long time, no one wants to write about this. Speaking, ok, but not writing.

Newsfolk must think we are children, or that we "can't handle the truth."

We knew this was coming. It may cool down, but it's not over. Then again, it may get worse, and we'll have to know who's who and who's gonna lay down or throw down.

"fired by Iranian Guard working with Hezbollah."

Didn't Streisand come out of retirement before to raise money for one of these groups?

[Southack]

"Well, does it matter in any case? Even if they didn't push the button, Iran is still calling the shots. Not to mention supplying the money and ammo."

It matters because we captured documents in Iraq at one of Zarqawi's safe houses that outlined Al Qaeda's plan for staging events such that Iran would be drug into Al Qaeda's war against the U.S./Israel.

So there is an ENORMOUS political difference between Hezbollah (an organization with ties to Al Qaeda) lofting up an Iranian missile into Israel than if actual Iranians did it.

Qods (Jerusalem) Force Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC - Pasdaran-e Inqilab)

"...By 1986, the Pasdaran consisted of 350,000 personnel organized in battalion-size units that operated either independently or with units of the regular armed forces. In 1986 the Pasdaran acquired small naval and air elements. By 1996 the ground and naval forces were reported to number 100,000 and 20,000, respectively..."

Foreign Operations

...The foreign operations by the Guardians, which also encompass the activities of Hizballah and Islamic Jihad – are usually carried out through the Committee on Foreign Intelligence Abroad and the Committee on Implementation of Actions Abroad. As with agents of Ministry of Intelligence, Pasdaran personnel operate through front companies and non-governmental organizations, employees or officials of trading companies, banks, cultural centers or as representatives of the Foundation of the Oppressed and Dispossessed (Bonyade-e- Mostafazan), or the Martyrs Foundation.

The Qods (Jerusalem) Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is responsible for extraterritorial operations, including terrorist operations. A primary focus for the Qods Force is training Islamic fundamentalist terrorist groups. Currently, the Qods Force conducts training activities in Iran and in Sudan. The Qods Force is also responsible for gathering information required for targeting and attack planning. The Pasdaran has contacts with underground movements in the Gulf region, and Pasdaran members are assigned to Iranian diplomatic missions, where, in the course of routine intelligence activities they monitor dissidents. Pasdaran influence has been particularly important in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.

The largest branch of Pasdaran foreign operations consists of approximately 12,000 Arabic speaking Iranians, Afghans, Iraqis, Lebanese shi’ites and North Africans who trained in Iran or received training in Afghanistan during the Afghan war years. Presently these foreign operatives receive training in Iran, Sudan and Lebanon, and include the Hizballah ["Party of Allah"] intelligence, logistics and operational units in Lebanon [Hizballah is primarily a social and political rather than military organization]. The second largest Pasdaran foreign operations relates to the Kurds (particularly Iraqi Kurds), while the third largest relates to the Kashmiri’s, the Balouchi’s and the Afghans. The Pasdaran has also supported the establishment of Hizballah branches in Lebanon, Iraqi Kurdistan, Jordan and Palestine, and the Islamic Jihad in many other Moslem countries including Egypt, Turkey, Chechnya and in Caucasia. Hizballah has been implicated in the counterfeiting of U.S. dollars and European currencies, both to finance its operations and to disrupt Western economies by impairing international trade and tourism.

The State Department asserts that Iran supports the Lebanese Hizballah, as well as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas, groups labeled as foreign terrorist organizations that are active in Israel.

Hizballah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qasim appeared to confirm the importance of Iran to his organization during a late-July ceremony in the town of Tulin, when he said "We must stand side by side against the Israeli enemy, because Lebanon's strength is part of Syria's strength, and Iran's support and [Hizballah's] support for Palestine are an honor for us."

In January of 2002 - Israeli forces seized a Tonga-registered vessel, and found onboard 83 canisters - which were hidden in crates and among other cargo - and filled with 50 tons of weapons - including surface-to-air missiles and anti-tank mines. Intelligence reports indicate the likely involvement of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in facilitating this large arms transfer to other terrorist groups.

Iran remained the most active state sponsor of terrorism in 2003: Islamic Revolutionary Guard and Ministry of Intelligence and Security personnel were involved in planning and support for terrorist acts. Although Iran detained al-Qaida operatives in 2003, it refused to identify senior members in custody. Tehran continued to encourage anti-Israel activities, both operationally and rhetorically, providing logistic support and training to Lebanese Hizballah and a variety of Palestinian rejectionist groups.

During 2003, Iran maintained a high-profile role in encouraging anti-Israeli activity, both rhetorically and operationally. Supreme Leader Khamenei praised Palestinian resistance operations, and President Khatami reiterated Iran’s support for the “wronged people of Palestine” and their struggles. Matching this rhetoric with action, Iran provided Lebanese Hizballah and Palestinian rejectionist groups -- notably HAMAS, the Palestine Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine–General Command -- with funding, safehaven, training, and weapons. Iran hosted a conference in August 2003 on the Palestinian intifadah, at which an Iranian official suggested that the continued success of the Palestinian resistance depended on suicide operations.

Anonymous sources in the Israeli defense establishment said that Iranian involvement in terrorism in the occupied territories has increased. These activities mostly are run through Hizballah in Lebanon and, between 2002 and 2004 Hizballah had tripled or even quadrupled the scope of its operations in the territories. The threat to Israel from rockets provided to Hizballah by Iran and Syria has grown, both in range and quantity. Iran is supplying an array of rockets by air and sea and overland from Syria, while both countries are providing logistical support and training as well. Israeli Defense Forces intelligence chief Major-General Aharon Ze'evi-Farkash said on 2 September 2004, "we are dealing with a threat on the northern front. That also means Hizballah and Iran, as well as Syria."

Ole MoHamHead over in Iran just released a statement that "An attack on Syria would be considered an act of war on the entire islamic world and would bring a 'fierce' response"

As opposed to the genial and gentle treatment they have been giving Israel so far?

[TheRobb7]

I wouldn't mind hearing about the Mossad rescuing their soldiers just before their Army drops some serious ordinance on Hezbollah's leadership.

[Swanks]

Im sure there was a baby formula factory in the middle of the terrorist camp as the wedding went on.

That's true. Militants and terrorists tend to hide behind the gen'l population. Setting up a camp in a baby formula factory would be consistant with Hamas' modus operadi.

It's a shell game by Iran and NK. Let's hope GWB keeps his
eyes on the prize during the G8 and let's hope Israel destroys Syria and Iran.

"...By 1986, the Pasdaran..."

Oh, now *there's* some "breaking news."

Rolls eyes.

Ugh, I just ate. Now I must go find some Pepto ;-) I don't know if she did. Wouldn't surprise me though.
