OMINOUS SIGNS!

Two quick discussions tonight that have dangerous ramifications.

This article about a Syrian Official defecting and giving a statement as to what he has witnessed will play huge in the Middle East and probably has Iran steaming.

It’s one thing for some half crazed twenty year old to stand in front of a cell phone camera and rant about people shooting at them.

It is a much different pitch when a respected Official calmly stands in front of a camera and goes into great detail about what he has witnessed and why he can no longer support the government he has supported for years.

If the numbers he quoted are true, and I would bet they are, then the pressure on Assad is going to get much worse.

As I said earlier, this event is only further infuriating Iran and that leads to my second point of discussion tonight.

Threats to Iran and Threats by Iran.

Iran’s desire to hijack the Arab Spring is relentless along with useless!

For Iran to make threats about the US hijacking the movement is simply a further sign of how worried they are about the eventual outcome.

Some may see this as a statement about Syria, but my bet is the issue here is actually Libya!

It’s no secret Iran would love to influence the future government of Libya not just to keep the West from calling the shots, but to limit the ever growing power of the Muslim Brotherhood.

What I did notice in this article is Iran didn’t take credit for the Arab Spring as they have in the past.

Perhaps he just forgot to mention that asinine  claim?

One thing is for certain, Iran knows what direction the Arab Spring is moving and it is not in their favor.

The second article on this topic is more serious than Iran’s threat.

For the French to talk about potential attacks on Iran’s Nuclear program  we would have to assume they “reviewed” this statement with several key allies prior to release.

The ability to play “ Good Cop… Bad Cop” can not be overlooked here.

I would have like to have heard the response in Iran when this story broke.

For months now the Iranian government has been in  a desperate race to beat the Arab Springs arrival in Iran by announcing it’s nuclear shield.

What’s even more dangerous is the concept of Iran truly believing Israel will wait that long.

I have said this before and I will say it again; both Iran and Israel are near a “ use or lose” point in their conflict.

Iran is losing its key strategic and tactical tools to combat Israel … Hamas… Hezbollah … Syria…

Israel is losing 30 yrs of agreed upon buffer zones with Egypt.. Lebanon and Syria…

Israel fears the events of September more than any event in their recent history.

The question becomes, what will they do about it?

What will Iran be willing to do?

These two are heading full speed at each other and the world seems to underestimating just what could happen.
