Lewis has a very conservative temperament, not given to wild statements, a very un-Debka-like scholar, If Lewis is saying this, it needs to be taken seriously.

Hmmmm..

"the US won't use nukes first - so, what do we do in this scenario?"

Destroy Kharg Island, it's very vulnerable, and almost all Iran's oil fkows through it.

" then Iran threatens the US by telling us that one or more is in this country? But not telling us where?"

This is sort of like the story of the farmer who noticed that the neighbor boys were stealing his watermelons at night.

So, he put up a sign in the watermelon patch that read, "One of these watermelons is poisoned."

The next day someone replaced the farmer's sign with another that read, "Two of these watermelons are poisoned."

iran doesn't have a good way to deliver such a weapon. not with 100% reliability.

Who's to say that Iran hasn't purchased a few NoDong-2's from NK and that NK is testing a nuclear warhead designed for it or the Taepo Dong missile on 8/22?

If NK's test works, we'll see Iran declare itself a nuclear power 8/22.

"What if one lands in Tel Aviv while Iran overtakes Jerusalem? "

How can Iran "overtake" Jersalem in one day? It's 1,000 miles away, and they'd have to drive theough the Baghdad Green Zone.

they won't use a nuke - they would be incinerated within 15 minutes."

He won't, He would be.

Ahmadinejad would just be doing his suicide bomber bit.He sure as hell doesn't care about the Iranian people.

[StoneWall Brigade]

look its easy we have them surrounded on there flanks we hit there flanks cut off there food supply's and bomb there oil fields and turn the country into a parking lot and find out where went to put the WalMart one where done.

"Not meaning to be flippant about this, but what is the time element here. Teheran time? GMT or ZULU time? Washington Time? Tel Aviv Time? I would guess since we're talking Islamic mysticism here that it will be before dusk Baghdad time, as Iraq is where Ali is buried.That's ZULU plus three hours. Say before 1600 ZULU or 1100 EDT. I think we'll know by then if anything is happening"

Actually, since the Islamic calendar is lunar based, I think it is significant to consider this:

The Cresent moon wanes completely and the new moon begins at exactly 1:51:30 8/23/2006 US Eastern Daylight Savings Time. That is 8:51:30 8/23/2006 Jerusalem Time. That is 9:21:30 8/23/2006 Tehran Time (1427 Rajab 28). August 10th 2006 for Old Calendar (Julian) Orthodox.

Ha! :0)

That will be my new theme this year... Since my favorite team is whoever is playing Dallas!

[Salamander]

Has anybody else noticed that this so-called "miraj" is very similar to "mirage", i.e. just a hallucination?

[Lazamataz]

I suck.

their prophecies mean nothing to us.

[SE Mom]

Your sense of humor never does!

[garjog]

"their prophecies mean nothing to us."

How true. Just a bunch of Satanic lies. But, if the Muslims believe them, they might try to fulfill them -- just as Ahmadinijab has said.
