| Iran builds up forces on its border with Iraq. DEBKAfile adds: Troops ranged along 350-km stretch from Dezful opposite Iraq’s Basra and Shalamcheh opposite al Amarah. In Tehran, FM Kharrazi warned that Iran’s parliament would not ratify any time soon Additional Protocol for Non-Proliferation Treaty allowing snap UN nuclear inspections. |

| #10 Oge_Retla, Mike Kozlowski, smn, everyone... I saw that Mullah song posted somewhere and could not resist posting it :) smn, Anonymoose I feel your overviews are on target. Something big is in the offing soon. Israel saved the world a lot of major damage in the 1st Gulf War by removing Saddam's nuke weapons plant in 1982 and today the Jewish nation will never allow another Holocaust rocketing out of Persian skies. The Axis of evil in the Mid-East (Iran-Syria-Lebanon) needs a major governmental overhaul...as in all three. |

| #6 I see two possible scenarios: The first, that this corps is designed for a rapid occupation of southern Iraq--the separate brigade being suicide infiltrators, if the US folds. The second is, after 1 or 2 US divisions are removed on 15 July, again the rapid grab of south Iraq conventionally, perhaps using one nuclear weapon against the remaining division and the threat of another nuke against the Saudi oilfields. But that would be what Iran is planning. What the US and Israel are planning could significantly change that scenario--if, and only if, the nuclear weapons are eliminated and quickly. |

| #5 There are only two reasons why the Iranians would be massing or "prepositioning" troops at this time: a)anticipating an Israeli strike at it's nuclear facilities(secondary move to counter a reactionary ground force advance [on our part])! b)'assist' with civil war unrest instigated by a reinvigored Al Sadr after the 'turn over' of sovereignty. |

| #4 Der Mullah's Face When the mullah says "we is the master faith," We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the mullah's face. Not to love Mohammed is a great disgrace, So we JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the mullah's face. When the immams say that all Christians they'll debase, We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the immam's face. When the sheik says our church he will deface, We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in his holy face. [alternate verses:] When the mufti says infidels must know their place, We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the mullah's face. When the ayatollah says our church he will erase, We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in his holy face. Are we not the superfaith, Arabic pure superfaith? Ja we is the superfaith, Super-duper superfaith. Is this Nutzo land not good? Would you leave it if you could? Ja this Nutzo land is good! We would leave it if we could. We will bring the world to order, Dar al Islam's new world order. Everyone of foreign race will love der Ayatollah's face, When we bring the world disorder When Saddam says we'll never bomb his place, We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the leader's face. When the Mullah says, "We is the master faith" We JIHAD! (phhht!), JIHAD! (phhht!), right in the mullah's face. |

| #3 The bottom line is sooner or later, and most likely sooner, the centre of Islamic (Shi'ite) terrorism is going to have to be firmly dealt with, otherwise our troops and those of other Coalition forces are combating two enemies, homegrown Sunni & Shi'ite Iraqi thugs and the non-Iraqi killers being trained and sent over the Iraq's borders by Jihadic Axis of Iran-Syria-Lebanon. In terms of an Iranian domestic counter-mullah overthrow; It could be acomplised, if coupled with 'real' assistance and 'other' surgical methods against the renagade regimé promoting terrorism through holding conventions for crackpots willing to commit mass suicide. Those fanatics sitting on their stole Persian thrones in Tehran & Qom must be prevented from securing nuclear weaponry via North Korea & other unfriendly sources. Iran's OPEC oil continues flowing to those certain 'western' nations which did not lit a finger to assist the Coalition serving in Iraq. On the other hand, Iraq is suffering multi-billion dollar losses in crude exports caused by terrorist sabotage of the Iraqi petroleum infrastructure has benefiting the Iranian government in economic terms plus (temporarily) keeps the heat off of the architects of chaos and death in neighbouring Iraq...Iran. All of us should recall it was no other than the 'progressive' Carter Administration allowed Khomeini & his band of Islamic dark ages mullahs to seize control of Iran, coupled with the mammoth Iranian OPEC oil reserves (used for expansion of Shi'ite related terrorism ever since.) Saudi Arabia is the next 1979 Iran in the making. Saddam was prevented from utilizing his OPEC oil exports to promote his version of terrorism in Israel & elsewhere. It's high time the original instigators of Islamic based terrorism in the last half of the 20th century be prevented from carrying out Ayatollah Khomeni's historic rantings of Islamitizing the entire world. Geographically looking at a map of the greater Persian Gulf region Iran despots are like cornered rats being that we control the Gulf with our U.S./U.K. navy fleets, we control those left over Soviet air bases in Herat & elsewhere throughout Afghanistan, not to mention being directly on Iran's western flank in Iraq & Kuwait. Rats are known to engage in stupid behaviour. As I write this FOX just stated various explosions taking place in Baghdad ..I wonder whom is behind those .....nuff said.. |
