Thanks for the ping...

I'm in here late but some others might like to hear about this....

[SunkenCiv]

The leader of an al-Qaida umbrella group in Iraq threatened to wage war against Iran unless it stops supporting Shiites in Iraq within two months, according to an audiotape released Sunday... said his Sunni fighters have been preparing for four years to wage a battle against Shiite-dominated Iran. "...stop direct and indirect intervention ... otherwise a severe war is waiting for you," ...al-Baghdadi also gave Sunnis and Arab countries doing business in Iran or with Iranians a two-month deadline to cease their ties... Al-Baghdadi said his group was responsible for two suicide truck bomb attacks in May in Iraq's northern Kurdish region. He said the attacks in Irbil and Makhmur showed the "Islamic jihad," or holy war, was progressing in the Kurdish areas.

Interesting problem for the Turks, eh? Iran is of course having a good laugh (at the moment). Thanks E.

Thanks for the ping.

Interesting things happening. Look at how many “war/conflict fronts” Iran is being drawn into:

Shia rift in Iraq - Sadr (Iran) against Maliki (USA/Iraq). Iran involved.

Shia rift inside Iran as gasoline rationing takes hold (Ahmadi-Nutjob against old guard clerics like Rafsanjani etc.). Some internal media working to have Nutjob removed from office.

Iraqi Sunnis warn Iran to “get out” of Iraq within two months or else.

Syria recalls all Syrian citizens back inside the country. Iran and Syria closely allied so Iran involved in war preparations.

Syria specially warns them to leave Lebanon within the week. Iran and Hezbollah closely allied so involved.

Syria, Israel, Hamas, Fatah conflict about to erupt. Iran closely allied to HAMAS so involved.

Two or three US carrier groups on Iran’s doorstep (Persian Gulf).Distracting Iran from other activity.

UN Sanctions likely to cut off gasoline exports to Iran and oil imports from Iran. Crashing Iran’s economy.

Fed up Iranian populace on the brink of huge blow up with gasoline the trigger but sky-rocketing prices of basics, including bread, bringing matters to a boil.

Looks like a “let’s roll” situation but not of Iran’s choosing.
