I
find it interesting the top Turkish newspaper ,online , the World
Bulletin,
did not run the story of Iran
threatening to take preemptive
measures.
Turkish
impartial media???
It
also appears the media didn't catch on to the fact Iran never identified
who
the preemptive strike might be against.
If
you just read the article as you were sipping your morning coffee, you
would
most likely assume the threat was geared towards Israel .
If
you did so, I would remind you in the past Iran typically spells out
their
willingness to fight Israel
if needed.... by name usually!!!
In
addition, to have a prominent General make this preemptive statement
surly
implies it was sanctioned all the way to the top.... I.O campaign.
I
still stand by my theory Iran
cannot afford to strike the first blow and
expect
to have any chance of Arab support in a conflict.
Arabs
destroying their countries for the sake of Persians is just not
likely....
they won't even do it for the Palestinians!!!
Again,
Iran
must be seen as the hero, liberator in the next battle, but they
seem
to be focusing on trying to set when that battle takes place; thus the
statement
about not waiting.
Hezbollah
and Hamas must feel like they are more and more just the pawns in
a
Persian game.... Lebanon
has to feel the same way.
Can Iran get Israel to strike out at Hezbollah
or Hamas?
Can Iran insure
this conflict takes place at the right moment in time?
Can Iran avoid the
next cycle of the "Arab Spring" this time a Persian
version??
Every
day is a challenge for all sides... .
It is
only going to take one mistake to get out of hand.
