Israel VS Hamas Part III

Re: Israel VS Hamas Part III

"Scared" - that I had somehow missed the huge breaking news....

Re: Any Russian involvment??

You had me scared for a minute - I Russia starts moving troops that direction I believe ite US would have to do the same

Well I don't know that scared was exactly what I felt, but the prophecy of "the Hook in the mouth" and the young lions saying "Have you come to take a spoil" played in my mind as well as images of fire and brimstone..... Guess it was a mix of feelings of fright mingled with almost joy. THAT is a real strange mix I can tell you. Fright for the obvious reason, but joy at the thought that seeing my Lord is real close

Iran Attacking Israel Is Really Attack on U.S.

By John Gibson

If you ever wondered whether it was worth all the trouble to keep Iran from getting a nuke, look at the news today.

When Hezbollah attacks Israel — or attacks anybody — it is Iran that is really doing the attacking.

If Iran can get the world to the brink of a war with just a few conventional explosives, a militia of irregulars and some suicide bombers, think what they could do with a real nuke.

Iran is attacking Israel, but it is really attacking us. That's because it knows that the U.S. will come to Israel's aid if things get really rough and eventually any Iran-Israel clash will get very rough.

So then the U.S. would have to decide about entering the fray in some way and Iran then has what it wants: a direct confrontation with the "Great Satan."

Some people like to see the situation as a grouping of separates: The U.S. has a War on Terror, and Israel has a war with Hezbollah and Hamas, and Iran is threatening from a distance.

No, Iran is the puppeteer here pulling the strings and causing trouble.

Re: Any Russian involvment??

Okay...I finally found what it is that I thought I heard today. (FOX) A few days ago apparently some Israeli diplomate asked Russia to get involved before things progressed further.

Guess that's kind of like asking the fox to come down to the chicken coop to help keep the family dog out.

Re: Any Russian involvment??

No - but it would be big news is accurate....?

Google news search brings up nothing on this?

Re: Syrian forces

Brother Tom,

Thanks again for keeping us udated on the current crisis!

I was wondering what condition is the Syrian Air Force in? I mean can they put up a decent fight or are they old soviet technolgy that's in disrepair?

As you are aware in prior ME wars the IAF (while loosing aircraft) really kicked the heck out of Egypt and Syrian air forces - and presumably would do so again -

Syria might do more damage to the IAF with their anti-aircraft missle systems?

Due to the high security level on everything military the past and the present of the Syrian Arab Air Force is still pretty foggy.

This makes it hard to judge the real strength of the air force today.

It is known that the Syrians are equipped with MiG-25s which are most likely going to be upgraded to the latest M version and the main task of these birds would then be the destruction of AWACS aircraft.

Of the many MiG-21's and MiG-23's delivered most likely only a few are currently operational.

After the death of Hafez al Assad (his son taking over from him) the Syrians strengthened their ties with the Russians and delivery of new MiG-29s were a result of it. So far only a few MiG-29s are delivered and they are apparently based at two bases, one being close to Turkey (still one of the biggest enemies of Syria) and the other is located in the Damascus area. More Russian deliveries are rumoured.

Re: Any Russian involvment??

I had heard a brief statement around midday that Russian was sending a number of troops/ships south to help contain the problem....Was switching between CNN, MSNBC and FOX, but have never heard this again or seen in print. Did anyone else see/hear this????

Re: Israel VS Hamas Part III

Wow...FoxNews is saying that Hezbollah denies firing the missle that reached Haifa...NOW Israel has said that the missle was from Iran AND fired by Iranian guards fighting WITH Hezbollah on the border!!!!!

Edited to clarify my comment...The Iranian rocket was fired from Lebanon by Iranian guards who are in Lebanon working side by side with Hezbollah...I didn't mean to imply "Iran" the country was "overtly" fighting in this. I hope that makes sense.

Any news sources on this???

I just heard the same thing...I thought that was odd that Hezbollah is claiming the credit. Something else is definitly going on IMHO...

Re: Israel VS Hamas Part III

If they got proof of the Iran involvement, Israel needs to go to the UN right now before things get outta hand.
Also, if Iran is involved, I hope Bush stands up and goes to bat for Israel.

Re: Israel VS Hamas Part III

It is not a question that only you have asked yourself. I believe they had intelligence something was coming. Where those soldiers were, they had been warned of possible kidnappings. NOW...that said, what has driven this to spiral? It seems as though...and THIS IS SCARY...this is a set up by those who seek to destroy Israel...especiallyIran, set them up and create a "validation" to respond. They seem to be baiting Israel, baiting her and trying to lure her into something very big that they have planned...otherwise, why has the fight back by Hezbollah and Co. not been very strong?

I'd be more afraid of where they are luring her, except I know that He who watches over Israel never slumbers nor sleeps and I am getting an impressing or feeling that God is going to answer all our and Israel's prayers that are being sent, and the "whatever" they plan on pouring out on Israel is going to fall back on their own heads! That seems to be the theme in these Psalms that I have said I have started reading outloud. Ps. 107, 108, 109, 7, 2, 34, 35, 36, 37 and of course 91 and 2. I read them outloud as prayers as they were written by David with under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, so I feel I am really praying in His will when I am reading these and adding at the end prayers for both of our leaders, troops and for those who are still not saved. AND...praising Him when I see His hand move...like the US vetoing the UN Resolution!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
