Israel has 'specific information' soldiers will be sent to Iran

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Friday, July 14, 2006 JERUSALEM — Iran plans to take two Israeli soldiers abducted by Hizbullah.

Israeli officials said Hizbullah intends to transfer the Israeli soldiers captured on July 12 to Iran. They said the transfer would ensure that Israel could not win the release of the soldiers through military means.

"We also have specific information that Hizbullah is planning to transfer the kidnapped soldiers to Iran," Foreign Minister deputy director-general Gideon Meir told a briefing on Thursday. Hours later, Iran denied that it wants the abducted Israeli soldiers, Middle East Newsline reported. An Iranian spokesman said the Israeli charge indicated the panic of the Jewish state.

Meir said Iran has been coordinating with Hizbullah and Syria in the current crisis along the Israeli-Lebanese border. He said Iran provides "funding, weapons, and directives" to Hizbullah.

Israel has assessed that at least one Israeli soldier abducted by Hizbullah was transferred to Iran. The soldier was identified as Ron Arad, an air navigator captured after he bailed out of his downed F-4 fighter-jet over southern Lebanon in 1986.

Israel has already threatened to assassinate Hizbullah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah as well as other leaders of the organization. Officials said Nasrallah and his senior aides would no longer be immune from Israeli attack. At the same time, officials said the Cabinet appeared divided over launching a ground force operation in Lebanon.

"Nasrallah wants to be the landlord of the Middle East," Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said. "It is us against Hizbullah, Iran and Syria."

Any post I might make on this particular thread regarding the scum in Iran might get me suspended. I leave my comments to your imagination.

I wonder what it is going to take for my otherwise intelligent liberal friends in Hollywood to understand that the entire civilized world is at war with militant Islam.

Me too. I will refrain from commenting. I will just say napalm, needles, bone saws and battery cables. I think people can figure out the rest.

That's the problem. Hollywood will see Isreal as the agressor and will pour sympathy all over the poor, oppressed muslims. And they will find a way to show America in thw wrong for not backing Hizbollah and the legitamte, elected government of the Pali's: Hamas.

I"ve thought all along that the US would use Israel as a proxy in military action against Iran.

There have been several reputable news sources with direct qoutes from two Israeli officials who have said that they have intelligence that the two kidnapped soldiers will be taken to Iran.

If this pans out, and the kidnapped soldiers are paraded before TV in Iran, I believe Israel will show the Iranians some suprises, in the form of mushroom clouds.

Doesn't this fit in well with Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" If that doesn't describe our PC society, I don't know what does.

If true, this "should" be reason enough to take out the nuke facilities in Iran.

I'm not sure this is true- if it is...it's almost as though Iran is BEGGING for war.

>>I'm not sure this is true- if it is...it's almost as though Iran is BEGGING for war.<<

I was in my car the day this thing started and came upon a guy that called his show "Hardball", but I don't remember his name. Anyway he said then that Iran WANTS to start a hot war. He gave a bunch of reasons and had a guest on that disagreed with him.

That's all.

And BTT.
