The Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah has begun deployment of new combat units in preparation for a war with Israel. Lebanese sources said Hizbullah plans to deploy thousands of combat troops trained in Iran and capable of a rapid invasion of Israel. They said many of the newly-trained troops would arrive from Iran in 2010 amid an alert for an attack by neighboring Israel.

Hizbullah and IRGC tactics were said to have been used by Yemeni Shi'ite rebels during their three-month war with Saudi Arabia. In November 2009, the Believing Youth, trained by Hizbullah, captured at least two Saudi villages near the Yemeni border and held them for nearly two months. "The assessment was that Hizbullah can hold hostage thousands of people in Israel and sow panic within the military and government," the Lebanese source said.

"Hizbullah is preparing for all military possibilities," a Lebanese source said. "It is betting on containing the first strike of any Israeli aggression. Containment of the attack would bridge half of the path toward victory."

On Feb. 6, the source told the Saudi newspaper Okaz that Hizbullah facilities throughout Lebanon were placed on alert for an Israeli strike. The source said the alert was also issued to Hizbullah political leaders, including those who serve in the Lebanese parliament.

"We must be on permanent readiness," Hizbullah deputy secretary-general Naim Kassem said. "We don't know when or if there will be surprises."

The sources said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been training thousands of Hizbullah fighters to conduct special operations forces missions to complement missile and rocket strikes from Lebanon. They said Hizbullah has formed at least two brigades that could invade Israel in any war and capture border towns.

Sounds like the feces are about to hit the fan....

between this and Iran’s so called nuclear stuff and satellite orbiting....

[lexington minuteman 1775]

In the meantime Iran continues to enrich uranium...so how is that hope and change working out for us? Or Israel? Or anybody for that matter? Well hey, Obama won us the Iraq war according to Biden so i am sure he has an strategy for this war too...NOT!

Life in this ol’ world would surely be much more peaceful if someone would put Iran out of our misery. Find a place where there's trouble and almost certainly you'll find Iran's into it up to their butts.

Thirty plus years now of putting up with their madness.

If Hizballah terrorists act up again then Israel must finish them once and for all.

God save Israel and bless her.

Get ‘em, Judah.

Invade Israel? Yeah, that would be a great move, with no armor or air cover. And, afterwards, they would have to rebuild Southern Lebanon all over again. Of course, it would make a statement. And that’s what Arabs are often about: making a statement while losing spectacularly.

Obama’s strategy is probably to side with Hezbollah. I wouldn’t put it past him.

Don't worry Kerry's coming to form a common goal of partnership and love between the American business community and it's islamic brothers. Get your rose pedals ready, physcodelic glasses and tye dye t’s

If Israel is forced to fight they must drop all the PC crap and kick some serious booty. Their last few go-rounds were weak and indecisive. The bad actors in the world will hate Israel anyway so they might as well REALLY give it to them.

GOD Bless Israel.

All the more reason to pray for our one real ally in the Middle East.

"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction" said Barack Hussein Obama (A.K.A. Barry Obama, A.K.A. Barry Soetoro, illegal alien) in his autobiography "Dreams Of My Father"

"Obama’s strategy is probably to side with Hezbollah. I wouldn’t put it past him." May 14, 2008 "Obama Already Negotiating with Hezbollah and Iran" http://www.stop-obama.org/?p=418 Obama visited Michigan and spoke to a group of 20 local leaders, but decided to give a special private audience to the head of the Islamic Center of America Imam Hassan Qazwini. For Obama to be chatting in a one-on-one with Qazwini, is equivalent to meeting with Ayatollah Khomeini’s, and Hezbollahs’ representative in America! Qazwini’s Islamic Center for America is a regular haunt for Iran’s leading Islamist clerics, and he is close friends with the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, an organization dedicated to fighting America, Israel, Lebanon, and all Western Democracies. The Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadl-Allāh is the Spiritual Leader of Hezzbolah, is a regular visitor at Qazwini's Islamic American Center, is on the State Departments Terrorist Watch List. It was Fadl-Allah who issued a fatwa (religious decree) okaying the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, murdering over 241 Americans. When the US Senate passed a resolution to recognize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a Terrorist Institution, that very interestingly Obama opposed and vehemently decried, Fadl-Allāh declared War on America!

The sources said Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been training thousands of Hizbullah fighters to conduct special operations forces missions to complement missile and rocket strikes from Lebanon. They said Hizbullah has formed at least two brigades that could invade Israel in any war and capture border towns.

“These Hizbullah soldiers have already participated as combat units in recent exercises in Iran,” another Lebanese source said. “They have become Hizbullah’s special operations forces arm and have been equipped with boats and air assets.”

The new combat brigades were launched by Hizbullah as part of lessons from the 2006 war with Israel. The sources said Iran and Hizbullah determined that the Lebanese militia required an offensive ground capability that could penetrate the 70-kilometer border with Israel.
