Meanwhile, Israeli F-16's just might be refueling over the gulf from strange, unmarked aircraft looking sort of like KC-135's. If I were working at an Iranian nuclear facility I think I'd be calling in sick.
isn’t the Antichrist supposed to a be a smooth talking man who tricks everyone into a peace deal the world over also? not really into the whole end times stuff don’t know much about it...
Yes, I saw that in the wee hours.
Thanks Ali Veritas.
I think you might be right about that. You should check out Joel Rosenberg's website...
Who moves first...??
The question on both sides of the line is who is going to move next. Judging by reactions Mughniyeh's death was both a tactical and strategic surprise. Internal investigations into security breaches indicate Syria, Iran and Hezbollah themselves ares still trying to figure out how Mughniyeh was hit. But the secret appointment of a new Hezbollah head and evacuation of their buildings in South Lebanon suggests they also haven't decided why they were hit. There is palpable uncertainty in Damascus over whether Mughniyeh's death was a one-off or the first blow of a wider campaign against them.
Syria in particular must be nervous, following the recent destruction of a mysterious facility in the Syrian desert in which Israeli cyberwar played a large part and the suspicious outage in undersea fiber optic cables serving the Middle East.
See post 45 its from wretchard.
Syrian and Iran aren’t moving against anyone...they are going to huddle and shiver and cower.
Hezbollah has no choice but to strike back, and doing so impotently will reflect even worse on them than if they do nothing...but if they do nothing then they will lose face.
In the meantime, Al Qaeda is dying on the battlefields in Somalia, Afghanistan, Algeria, the Philippines, and Iraq.
Al Qaeda is unable to aid Hezbollah...unable to strike Israel...unable to strike the U.S. again...unable to even topple the weak government of Somalia, much less Egypt or Pakistan.
Hamas is fighting half of its own Palistinians, Hezbollah is impotent in Lebanon, and Al Qaeda is being slaughtered.
