Tehran, 18 August (AKI) - Iranian state television has announced that Iran will begin new missile tests on Saturday in five different border regions including along the frontier with Afghanistan. The tests - which will last five days - appear to be a show of strength staged to impress ethnic minorities living in Iran's Kurdistan, Baluchistan and Khorasan provinces"These manoeuvres serve to re-elavorate the defence doctrine of our nation," said General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani, of the Pasdaran revolutionary guards who will be conducting the tests.
Test last 5 days...........
Lock and load, George.
The plot thickens
"re-elavorate" - Huh?
Air strikes. Now. Ground invasion soon. If someone acts like he is about to nuke you and says he intends to nuke you and says the holocaust didn't happen but should, it is insane to wait around for the UN to "take action."
Starting on the 19th lasting 5 days...seems to me that brings us back to the date of Aug 22nd and what Iran plans for that particular day.
"re-elavorate" - Huh?
I think they meant re-evaporate.
Hm...that would put the 22nd on the fourth day.
If this is Ahmadinejad's "surprise" then I'm distinctly underwhelmed. Even the North Koreans can hit the ocean with their rockets, at least most of the time. Armageddon it ain't.
This fits in perfectly with the nationwide, full scale military "exercises" Iran is already doing.
It is exactly what Imanutjob would be doing if he intended to start a war sometime in the next five days.
Does this have anything to do with the Iranian predictions about a bright light in the sky over Israel? Perhaps a little after midnight the night of August 21/22?
Iran has a death wish. They wont be happy till someone blows them to hell.
Patriots, Arrows, THAAD, etc. are hopefully in place, so that those missiles aren't as much of a threat.
After they're taken out, then launch the counterstrikes. Solves the "ambiguity problem" (i.e., knowing who fired first), and with the political climate in DC these days, that matters.
Means to hang out the wash, or let it air out, or let it be seen again.
I don't know much about military strategy, but if Iran is launching test missiles, would it be more difficult to tell if in the middle of these tests they launch a missle at Israel?
The Middle Times were ending, and the heavens were filled with fire, and The Lord did fight to throw The Daemon out of the heavens.
And the fight was fierce, and the sky was filled with bright flashes of fire, and debris did rain down on the people, and they were frightened.
And The Lord did seem to cast The Daemon out.
And The People did wear clothing, and such armor and helms as they had, to protect them, all painted in the various colors of the desert, so The Daemon might not see them.
And The Daemon did come, as if cast from the heavens, roaring down with a great noise, a frightening wail as had never been heard before.
And The People saw him approach the earth, and they were afraid.
And The People faced The Daemon, and prostrated themselves flat on their bellies; and they turned up their collars, to hide their necks, and they tucked their arms under them, lest the Daemon see their hands; and they bowed their heads, and seemed to kiss the dry desert floor.
But The Daemon knew them, and saw them in the desert, and was displeased, that they had attempted to hide.
And The Daemon released his awful wrath, and The People were terrified.
And those of The People that had displeased The Daemon, by their proximity to him, were instantly consumed by fire, such that all that was left of them, and of their clothes, and of their armor and helms, was a dark stain on the dry, cracked desert floor.
And those that had displeased The Daemon, by casting their eyes on him, were instantly struck blind, never to see again.
And those farther yet from The Daemon, were burned horribly, although they did live, some for a day, some lingering on in awful pain for weeks.
And those farther yet from The Daemon, they thought themselves spared, and that the Daemon might let them live.
And then The Daemon did exhale, in a mighty blast of hot air, so strongly that boulders were tossed across the desert, as a child might skip a rock on a calm lake; and the sick, and the burned, and the wounded, and the dead, were rolled up in the great wave of The Daemons breath, and many were crushed.
And then did The Daemon draw breath, in a wave of air as strong as his mighty exhalation, and more of The People were caught up, and torn, and crushed by the rocks and boulders of the desert.
And then there was a mighty clap, such that many of The People that had survived thus far were struck deaf, and The Daemon was gone.
And in place of The Daemon was a mighty pillar of fire, topped by a huge cloud of smoke, that blacked out the sun, and made the day into night.
And those of The People who had survived, again thought that they had bean spared; but many among them did sicken, and their fingernails, and their toenails, and their teeth did fall out, and they did die.
And The People were no more, and only a few, scattered through the desert, did survive.
And the Final Times did begin.
