Default From our friend the supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s military sources have been reporting since late August that Iran’s political and military leaders have resolved not to wait passively for an American attack but to go instead for a pre-emptive strike against US forces in the Persian Gulf and Iraq, as well as targeting Israel.

While it might be true, I always take Debka with a grain of salt. They have been hit or miss, though many of their hits have been interesting and unexpected. In this case, expectations are already there.

If they do this it will remove any of our inhibitions against striking them in the first place and we'll do a lot more than toss some missles at them.

The clouds of the coming war are converging upon Israel. But the Jewish State's political and military leaders refuse to look up at the darkening sky.

The Russian bear has awakened after fifteen years of hibernation. Under the leadership of former KGB commander President Vladimir Putin, Russia is reasserting its traditional hostility towards Israel.

that, and theres this book that is written by a man named John Hagee. Its called Jerusalem Countdown, and it was written before all of this stuff in the Israel/Lebanon stuff started happening. He predicted EVERYTHING that has happened so far there, and the thing that made me say the above comment was this: He predicts that Russia will side with Lebanon against the Israelies. I think its more than coinsidence that 550 russian troops have arrived in Lebanon recently......

550 Troops is a joke. Token force without any force. Now if 55,000 show up, you know something is amiss!
