Just last Friday, Iranian President Ahmadinejad warned that Israel's return to Gaza could lead to an "explosion" in the Islamic world that would target Israel and its supporters in the West.
"They should not let things reach a point where an explosion occurs in the Islamic world," ...
"If an explosion occurs, then it won't be limited to geographical boundaries. It will also burn all those who created [Israel] over the past 60 years," he said, implicitly referring to America and other Western nations who support Israel.
Years from now, the kidnapping of Corporal Gilad Shalit will be regarded like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand.
Against the backdrop of Kassam rocket fire on Israelis living within range of the Gaza Strip, it was the fate of Corporal Shalit that triggered the Israeli return to Gaza, which in turn brought the Hezbollah forces into the game.
Israel is fighting two Iranian proxies on two fronts.
It may, or may not, open a third front against a third Iranian proxy, Syria.
It is from the Syrian capital that Khaled Meshaal, the exiled leader of Hamas, has been laying down Palestinian Arab negotiating conditions.
Why listen to Mr. Meshaal? ...
Even more loyal to Tehran is the Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, whose forces yesterday kidnapped two more Israeli soldiers, opening up the second front.
Sheik Nasrallah is warning Israelis that they must not think Lebanon is unprotected as it was in 1981 and 1982 when Israeli forces came pouring across the border to silence Palestinian Arab guns.
Sheik Nasrallah's men are the recipients of tens of thousands of rockets — longer range and presumably more deadly than their roughly engineered younger Kassam cousins — that put central Israel in their range.

I agree.
can looter guy be far behind?
That would be the last mistake Mr. Ahminedijad(sp?) ever makes
This is very well written and accurate. This is almost like watching a movie that you sort of know the ending to. It's clear how this will end. Among other things, Iran and likely Syria will have a regime change. Israel will not back down, and the ONLY thing America should do about it, is be right there beside her, helping if asked, supporting if not. This is a long time coming. The terrorists and their Islamio-Fascist terrorist supporting states like Iran and Syria started it, and now Israel will finish it. God bless them.
Israel itself says it is now at war.
I agree. I wouldn't say it jumped the shark, rather just slid in front of it.
By minutes.

"On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blazing pot in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves; and they shall devour to the right and to the left all the peoples round about, while Jerusalem shall still be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:6

My word! Does President Bush play chess, too? ;) The world, for the most part, hasn't been watching the board being set up.
Thank you for your post and map.
Next came was Iraq, more airbases and ground troops right along Iran's oil rich Khuzestan Provence ho with discontent against the brutal mullah régime.
On the other side of Iraq's western border lies terrorist infested Syria and their Hizballah proxies with Israel to the south and American forces on the Iraqi-Syrian border. That phase is already underway with Israel's IDF on the all out offensive road which shall eventually led directly to Damascus and 'Dr'Assad, the terrorist's rent collector.
Our Navy controls Iran's southern oil sea-lanes in and out of the Persian Gulf. How geostrategically perfecto!
If President Bush had ever publicly declared the longer range plan to protect America via dismantling Jihad Inc, the radical Dems on the Hill would have gone pinko ballistic and loused up everything - as usually.
Illuminating graphic. Tks!
