[BK] " was also hearing how Iran has opened themselves up big time for an attack....with them pouring troops and equipment into Syria"

[TR] where did you hear this?

Yeah, Karl, this would seem to be highly significant. As in, red flags all over the place. Also, how are the Iranians physically getting people into Syria in any numbers? No common border.

More than 400 messages from outside Israel have been sent to IDF soldiers, including several from the Americans. "Take care of the Hizbullah; we will take care of Iran," wrote one U.S. soldier. Another wrote, "From Iraq, we wish good tidings for you brave IDF soldiers. The American army is 100 percent for Israel."

This is great! I hadn't heard about our troops sending messages to the IDF, although I've heard them speaking very supportively of them.

Brothers in arms...

Syriana won't make your blood boil if you view it as pure speculation/conspirary theorizing.

I think we took Murtha's advice and redeployed our troops over the horizon--from Iran.

In Bint Jbeil, St.-Sgt. Kobi Smilg, 20, of Rehovot, was killed when a large bomb exploded under his Merkava 4 tank, which flipped over as a result. A battalion commander was wounded in the attack. A few hours later, 21-year-old Lt. Lotan Slavin from Kibbutz Hazeva was killed when his tank was hit - this time by an anti-tank missile.

Document: Iraqi Dissident Talks About WMD Moved to Syria (Translation)
Pentagon/FMSO website Iraqi Pre-War documents ^ | July 25 2006 | jveritas

Document http://70.168.46.200/Released/07-24-06/ISGQ-2005-00022470.pdf that was written sometimes after the Iraq war talks about an Iraqi dissident named “Abu Abdallah” who says that Iraqi WMD were moved to Syria before the war on the month of 10 Mouharam (Islamic calendar) i.e. March 10. The document was apparently reviewed by the Department of Defense as you the word D.O.D (in Latin letters) written on the side of the document.

An epic of heroism in Maroun El-Rass [source: Hezebola]

"...The greatest epic had been written by the heroes of the resistance with their blood in Maroun El-Rass. Eighteen resistance fighters were in Maroun El-Rass region. It was expected that they were capable of repelling the assault for 48 hours. When the result came, they are able to repel the aggression for four days, three of them fell martyrs along with two fighters missing..."

From the wires /// "Iran have chartered nearly 10% of the world tanker fleet for floating storage of crude
oil. At the moment 30 VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carrier) and ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carrier) are
anchoring outside the island Khark in the Persian Gulf. Last week the country reiterated its intentions to
continue the nuclear programme but would not disclose the reason for chartering tankers for crude oil
storage. The country is either preparing for war or just speculating on the oil price.

NOTE: Ahead of the first Gulf War, Iraq chartered crude oil tankers for floating storage."



^^^UNCONFIRMED^^^

Link requested, none provided.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst, but insist on three unconnected sources before acting on any information.

Sorry, don't have any other details on the program. It is being sponsored by the State Department, so you might check on their web site.
