A lot of people are asking a lot of questions these days, recent events have left a lot us wondering "What comes next?"
In this article, I plan to demonstrate that all of those questions can be answered with one word.
I recognize that this is an ambitious goal, but I do not make this claim lightly and I am prepared to back it up.
Without further ado:
1. In what country did Hamas, the first terrorist organization to recently kidnap an Israeli soldier, originate?
2. In what country did Hezbollah, the next country to kidnap Israeli soldiers, thereby opening a second front for the IDF, originate?
3. From what country did the C-802 cruise missile which nearly sank Israel's radar picket ship originate?
4. Had it not been for Hamas and Hezbollah kidnappings, what country's nuclear program was scheduled to be Priority Topic One at the G8 Summit conference?
5. What country is North Korea's largest missile client, North Korea being the country that recently dragged most or all of the United States' anti-ballistic missile assets well out of range of the Persian Gulf?
6. What country has threatened to use ballistic missiles to crack containment at Dimona, Israel's largest nuclear facility, sending a plume over that tiny country similar to the one released by Chernobyl?
7. What country therefore benefits most by having US anti-ballistic missile assets far from the Persion Gulf?
8. What country is currently host to Sayed Bin Laden, operational commander of the Al Qaeda terrorist organization, since the retirement of Osama Bin Laden in 2002?
9. What country is currently host to between 200 and 600 bayat members of the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, essentially a modern day Al Qaeda Brigade 055?
10. What country is currently host to the operational leadership of Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization best known for multiple simultaneaus attacks, like the recent train bombings in India?
11. What country is Russia's largest nuclear client, Russia being that country most reluctant to impose sanctions on a certain nuclear aspirant in the Middle East?
12. What country stands to benefit most from Russia's unprecedented offer to send peacekeeping troops to Lebanon to prevent the annihilation of Hezbollah?
13. What Axis of Evil country is almost certainly next in line to be dealt with in the ongoing war on terror?
14. What State Sponsor of Terrorism for over 30 years has most frequently threatened to initiate terrorist attacks on US interests in 2006?
15. What country recently signed a Mutual Defense Treaty with Syria?
16. What country's protection is the only thing which prevents Israel from destroying the pathetic Syrian army in one month or less?
17. Which Syrian ally has suddenly imbued Bashir Assad with the courage to warn Israel against utterly destroying Hezbollah?
18. What country would Saudi Arabia, who recently astounded almost everyone on earth on laying responsibility for the current crisis on Hezbollah, least like to see in charge of the Persion Gulf?
19. What oil rich nation, other than Saudi Arabia and Iraq, both of which the US has come to terms with, has repeatedly threatened to disrupt the US economy through its use of oil as a weapon?
20. What oil rich nation has an adjacent border with Turkey, the country which today threatened to invade Iraq?
21. What oil rich nation has repeatedly threatened to close the Persion Gulf?
22. Of the two nations sending terrorists and insurgents to attack Coalition forces in Iraq, which one has the largest economy, the largest military, and the largest political influence; in effect, of the two countries sending terrorists into Iraq, which is the senior partner?
23. What country's President has the longest history of any President on earth, of terrorist involvement, from the US Embassy hostage crisis until terrorist threats made today, July 19th, 2006?
24. What country is best known for labeling the US the "Great Satan", and Israel "Little Satan", and regularly stages demonstrations in which thousand of people chant "Death to America"?
25. What country, more than any other on earth, stands to benefit most from planning every single military threat from the last two months, from North Korea's missile launches, to India and Pakistan threatening each other with nuclear war, to incidents which have led Israel and Syria to the brink of war, to Turkey's threats of war with Iraq, what country planned all of this, in a manner so obvious that the only way you can avoid seeing it is by closing your eyes?
Though I can go on and on and on with this, to do so would be pointless. If you haven't gotten the point already it is solely because you choose not to.
For those of you who choose to assess the situation realistically, it is now crystal clear that orders from Iran initiated this crisis, that Iranian weapons sustain this crisis, that Iranian threats are the only thing standing in the way of resolving this crisis, that Iran prefers war to defeat and will stop at nothing in instigating incidents to give themselves diplomatic cover for a war they have already started.
They need an excuse because they cannot win unless they attack their neighbors, and this is forbidden by the Koran.
All roads lead to Tehran.
Every thread you pull, leads to Tehran.
Every question you ask, leads to Iran, or Iran's capitol, Tehran.
There are only a very, very few questions left unanswered.
Will Iran blink first?
Will we blink first?
If nobody blinks, how much oil will be left in the Ghawar, Wafra, Rumaillah, and Khorramshar oil fields, roughly half of the earth's known supply, when the fight that Iran has planed for, is asking for, is begging for, is over?
It's not Hitler this time.
It's not one guy.
It's ten guys, sitting in a bunker in Tehran, this time around, and it's 1939 all over again.
We have a choice.
Any solution that does not address the root main cause of all of these problems is doomed to fail, because the root main cause will not stop until they get what they want.
Iran has chosen victory or death, and they plan to take as many of us with them as possible if they do not win.
If we do not deal with the root main cause of all of these problems, immediately, there will be black marks on this planet that are visible from the Moon, and those black marks will remain visible for a very, very long time.
Denial is no longer a viable option.
Good Job!
...and I don't say that lightly.
Cheers!

"5. What country is North Korea's largest missile client, North Korea being the country that recently dragged most or all of the United States' anti-ballistic missile assets well out of range of the Persian Gulf?"
I didn't know this.
You won't get any argument from me or my son serving in Afghanistan.
However, if they are not too close to nuclear delivery, let's hold off a little and do as much as we can to develop our homegrown, ethanol, biodesiel, cellulosic ethanol, etc. before we plunge the, and our, world into a petroleum crisis.
Unless your goal is to crack hardened targets, it doesn't matter whether you have nuclear weapons or not, if you can hit an enemy's nuclear facilities and release a Chernobyl like radiation plume.
That fact cuts all ways.
Jeez dude, you have some points there. And they all add up to a larger (and frightening) point.
No wonder Condi looks so stressed.
Nice succinct summary of what we all know jeffers. I thoughtthe same basic thoughtswas all top secret though. What changed your mind? I barely recall that post. Was there something different in it that you haven't outlined here?

Yes.
That's exactly the option the world has chosen, shooting arrows at the parts, afraid to acknowledge the whole.
Too. Damn. Terrifying.
Good job...
I did not know this factually, and would like a source. That said, I have felt all along the NK 4th of July show was not just a coincidence. NK have been strangely silent for the past week as well.
Michael Ledeen has been making these connections for years.
Frustrating as hell that it hasn't sunk in with Washington and the media isn't it?
The answer is to get rid of the current gov't in Iran.
Problems solved.
Good job that Jeffers has done of pulling the facts into a workable list.......
Thank you to Jerrers.
Sorry about those 'r's'.......
Thank you Jeffers for a good list.
