Bibi Tells Britain: Hizbullah Can Reach London
01:11 Aug 04, '06 / 10 Av 5766
(IsraelNN.com) Knesset Member and Opposition leader Binyamin (Bibi) Netanyahu warned Britons on Thursday that Iran has missiles which can reach London. Speaking on Sky News, the former Prime Minister said that Hizbullah represents a new Fascism and Hitler-ism that threatens the West.
In a separate interview with The Times of London, MK Netanyahu also doubted that a proposed international peacekeeping force in Lebanon can prevent future attacks on Israel by Hizbullah. "The record of multi-national forces so far has been mixed one,” he said.
"In Iraq, a dozen nations started out and one by one they fell by the wayside as Islamic terrorists targeted the soldiers of the international force. Ukrainian, Spanish and Japanese mothers asked why should our sons fight and die in Iraq. This is undoubtedly a tactic that Hezbollah and its Iranian patrons will try to replicate here.”
According to Yoni:
"As per the prior post Tel Aviv has been threatened if Israel hits Beruit again, well folk their is currently a multi plane air raid on Beirut."

Aha! The plot thickens. The Shi'ites in the (oil rich) eastern part of the country might be getting a bit restless. The Saudi royals know they must avoid this at all cost.
The Shi'ite Arab people in southern Iraq, southwestern Iran and the north and east parts of SA are going to want their own state.
This region will be shaking out for a long time.
