#1 This is all contrived. There's a reason AhMad wanted to delay responding to the Condi and the gang on the proposed "carrots and sticks".

Look for big festivities across region by late-August.

#2 CA - I don't think Israel will wait until late August. I think they intend to punish Hezbollah (possibly Syria and Iran as well) NOW, and keep pounding them until they're all dead, or they agree to peace with Israel. Israel will NOT tolerate anyone kidnapping their citizens or their soldiers. Expect some heavy wet-works in Damascus, and even Asshat isn't immune. I don't think either the US or Israel will wait until August to get a response from Ahmadinnerjacket. We might see some Tomahawks flying by the end of this month, if Russia and China keep playing games in the UN. Bush has a nasty temper he keeps well in check, but his patience is not inexhaustable.

#3 IIRC a senior Israeli leader said back in
Feb. that we had 6 months to stop the Iranian nuclear program.

Feb = month 2. Add 6 = August

And that's not counting the mystical day 8/22 when the Mahdi reappears with a little help from what's-his-face ....

#4 If the IRG are launching missiles from Lebanon, The NKors are trying to hit Hawaii, all of this while the UNSC is talking about Iran and the G8 is meeting in Germany.

This will not wait until August. War is afoot.

#5 Yes, it does seem that way John.

#6 Is it confirmed that the IRG has launched missiles from Lebanon? I read flyover quoting Jane Harmon to that effect, but I have seen nothing else. Is this true? Why is there nothing on it anywhere? Seems like a big deal to me.

#7 They're talking about it on Hannity and Colmes right this minute, I'm still searching for a confirming URL.

#8 Old Pat --

I wasn't very explicit in my earlier post. The Hamas/Hezbol have been planned for months. AhMad has a timeline that will suck Israel into Syria. He has just today set the marker, saying an Israeli intrusion into Syria will be construed as an invasion of Irant.

Rather than the "limited" response by Israel into Leb, this will eventually evolve into a region wide conflict by mid-August. The US will be compelled to act against Iran due to (1) an escalation of their involvement in Iraq and (2) Iran coming to the aid of Syria.

#9 Jeeze Louise! This is Mordor on the march. And I'm not joking. The US and Israel need to pull from our inner strength. Maybe Australia, too. It is time to confront the aptly named Axis of Evil and bring it down. First stop Hizb'Allah in Lebanon. Then Syria. If they are neutralized, Iran is isolated, and Kimmie, in turn gets on shaky ground.

#10 "inner strength" being = to superior firepower and support from the overwhelming true patriots at home
