I hadn't heard from Maj. Bob for some months now, so I didn't have any idea what to expect. Unbelievable.

Scary, I saw they had protests in Dearborn over the weekend and there is Hezbollah sleeper cells in the US. I guess the question, at this point, are they mostly concentrated in Dearborn or are they scattered around the country?

When did Bob Bevilaqua become such a hysterical, anti-Israeli jerk? I heard him the other say and he sounded like he was on contract to the Iranians. I never liked the guy but I never thought he was as big a jerk as he is now showing himself to be.

If Iran gets involved they are definitely going to try to roll through Iraq to "get to Syria's aid".

I would not be too worried about that. If they try it it will be a massacre of epic proportions. The end result for the Iranians will make the "Highway of Death" out of Kuwait City in 1991 look like a peace rally. That why they will not do it. In a straight up military fight, they will get their butts handed them. That why they have stodge front groups like Hizbolla to do their dirty work. We spent the last 50 years studying how to kill mass number of Soviets, the Iranians and Syrians know they would be way out of their weight class facing us. They have the examples of Afganistan and Iraq which show them how stupid it is to fight us straight on. The Iranian military will NOT cross the Iraqi border.

It's a scarey prospect for sure. I dont see them doing anything different if they get directly involved. The sh** will really hit the fan at that point.

For that reason I'm remaining hopeful the the rhetoric comming from Amadgonad is just that.

Somebody please tell me what he is talking about.

Iranian President Ahmadinejad: Day of happiness for region near






Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday, “The day of happiness for the region is near… The world is on the verge of great changes,” according to the Iranian news agency.


Ahmadinejad added that he considered Israel’s operation in Lebanon “a type of playing with fire.” (Dudi Cohen)

From the text he did not mention that they have WMD with its traditional terms, but according to terrorist Nisrallah if Hizballah hit the Petrochemical complex in Israel they can have a similar effect as if they have WMD.

They may be "out", in a sense, but still have their collective fingers on the triggers.

I read the translation. It doesn't make sense to me. I am slow here. I was asking for an interpretation. Are they planning on hitting Haifa's chemical plants making an explosion seem like a nuke? Do they have WMDs that will be like nukes? Is it talking about using advanced weapons when there's a ground invasion?

I honestly don't know..a few times over the years I've heard him sound strident- but the other day and just now he was all emotion- no rationale. He was unreasonable- no idea what his personal agenda might be.

Can you imagine doing the math on that?

IF I did the math right on that, using 3 years (not 3 1/2)...it's over 52,000.

Idiot doesn't even come close to what he is.
