Israel Preps for War with Iran, Syria Beats War Drums
February 3, 2010 - Breaking - War seems imminent in the Middle East. This report today from debka.com is very alarming:
Arab voices were fanning Middle East war fever Wednesday night, Feb. 3. debkafile's military sources report that not only are Syrian leaders beating war drums - Syrian foreign minister Walid Muallem said in Damascus: "Israelis, do not test the power of Syria since you know the war will move into your cities" - but Egyptian military sources have put out information purporting to outline Israel's preparations to strike Iran.
Debka.com's article goes on, with more info, which I've put into abbreviated list form here:
- Israeli Navy and the US Fifth Fleet have been charting Persian Gulf waters and Iranian shorelines "in preparation for attacks"
- Israeli Defense Forces intelligence and special forces ... have been marking out routes.... to hit Iran's nuclear installations
- Egyptian sources say that Saudi Arabia is [to put it in my own words] freaking out about all of this
- Some of this has already been "leaked in Cairo Wednesday night to ... a publication which Egyptian intelligence often uses ..." Full Article and more details at debka.com
QUESTIONS: Since this is so widely known now, will the Obama Administration talk about it? How has Hillary Clinton been involved in all of this? Will Israel soon find itself embroiled in a war with Iran and its puppet state Syria? How deeply will the U.S. get pulled in, and how will this affect our efforts on the ground in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan?
