London Weekly: Hizballah Has Chemical Warheads; Israeli Source: It Won't Dare

[With thanks to www.mideastweb.org/mewnews1.htm ]

GMP20030130000049 Tel Aviv Ma'ariv in Hebrew 30 Jan 03 p 26 [Report by UK-based correspondent Dafna Vardi: "Hizballah Has Chemical Warheads"]

[FBIS Translated Text] 122-mm missiles, armed with chemical warheads, have been shipped to Hizballah, according to London-based Foreign Report, which cites military intelligence sources. The sources added that disarmed missiles of the same type were found by UN inspectors in Iraq. According to an unconfirmed report, the missiles that reached Lebanon had come from Iraq.

An Israeli defense source told Foreign Report that "Hizballah won't dare use chemical weapons against northern Israel, but the fact they have long-range missiles with chemical warheads will become a significant deterrent factor when Israeli intervention is considered."

When Hizballah attacked the IDF with artillery and antitank missiles at Shab'a Farm last week, the Israeli response was moderate due to Prime Minister Sharon's promise to President Bush that Israel would not exacerbate the tension in the region prior to the war on Iraq. Foreign Report maintains, however, that when a war is launched, Sharon will have an opportunity to try and destroy Hizballah's terrorist infrastructure.

Intelligence sources told the weekly that Sharon and Mufaz have two reasons to use the Iraq war to attack Hizballah. One is that the world will be preoccupied with the big Middle East war and pay no attention to the "little war," and the second is that the Israeli population will be called to preserve a state of alert during the Iraqi offensive, and should Hizballah launch missiles against northern Israel, the local residents will be in shelters in any event.

Foreign Report quotes a source close to Mufaz, who said: "We might as well attack the Hizballah infrastructure right now instead of being caught by surprise should they launch a brutal attack of their own."

Fine by me.

Chemical attacks would trigger an Israeli invasion of Lebanon, cordoning, and extermination of Hamas.

True. They should just go ahead and do all that anyway, without a trigger.

Anyone using poison gas on Israel has a death wish which will be immediately fulfilled. Bomb them, shoot them but never, ever even think about using gas.

Hmmm, sounds like a policy I've heard before:

Report quotes a source close to Mufaz Bush , who said: "We might as well attack the Hizballah infrastructure Iraq/Al Qaida right now instead of being caught by surprise should they launch a brutal attack of their own.

I don't see how anyone, terrorist organization or soverign state like Iraq, could send chemical or gas weapons to Israel on rockets and not simultaneously decimate the Palestinians who live in and around the Israelis.

The point of WMD is in the word MASS. The weapon has to be able to affect masses of the population to be effective. This means hitting a large territory or at least spreading to a large territory with a mass of population.

Well, if they gave a hoot and a half about the well being of the Palestinians, then I'd see your point. They don't.

The VERY FIRST whiff of chemical attack in Israel, and all bets are off. If the gas came from Iraq, then we'll be playing bumper tanks with Merkavas and Abrahms racing to see who can get to Baghdad first.

Interesting that the #1 goal of "the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America." is spearheaded by the FBI academy indoctrinating ADL.

From the referenced link:

Islam's Twenty-Year Plan for USA (english) Chris Capra 10:07am Mon Dec 30 '02 (Modified on 2:52pm Sat Jan 4 '03)

article#9773

Please read the Islam's Plan for 21 Years !

Twenty-Year Plan for USA: Islam Targets America

(Dr. Anis Shorrosh)

(Dr. Shorrosh's bio is after the commentary.)

When we immigrated from Jerusalem, Jordan in January, 1967, little did I imagine that Islam would become center-stage in world news. As my sincere interest in the growth of Islam in America intensified, I began to discuss, dialogue, and then debate Muslim leaders throughout the world from an Arab Christian's view of Islam. So far, I have had the privilege of participating in over 20 debates and discussions on every continent plus T.V. and radio. Islam Revealed was released in 1988 and is now in its 8th printing. The True Furqan is now in its third printing in the three years it has been published. It is the only book which challenges the Quran in substance, style, language and contents. The True Furqan can be located on www.answers-to-islam.net or www.islam-exposed.org.

The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?

1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide..
.
.
.

Today's ADL press release in part:

"ADL led the way for the enactment of hate crime legislation on the state and federal levels. Hate crime laws are now on the books in 45 states, many based on ADL’s model statute, which was upheld as constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
