WORLD at WAR, OFFICIAL 2013 THREAD (Doom always only a moment away)

You think this is Obama blessed?

I believe he received some, lets just say, interesting intel in the past day or so!

It looks to me that the new normal will include Israeli strikes. hezbollah iran and and Syria must live with it or else.

MM, this time, Israel will absolutely wipe out Southern Lebanon and parts of Syria if needed!

The gloves are off!!!

Never Again!!!!

I am beginning to wonder if Syria or Hezbollah even have the capacity to strike Israel. They are getting a huge black eye in the Arab anti-sem world.

Someone said that post was false. still waiting for confirmation.

Trying to make contact with relatives in country. Almost 1 in the morning there!

Thanks. I take it there is no alert yet. This all could be covert and stay that way another day.

Sometimes I'm a little slow... I live west of 29 Palms Marine base in the San Bernardino mountains.

For the past few nights we have been hearing loud booms and the windows have been rattling. People were calling into the sheriff's office.

Come to find out the boys are doing live bomb training at night in the desert. It even made the news up here in our little town.

Desert, live bombings, drills... duh, I am so lame, once I read about planes flying over Texas in the thread, it hit me!

Multiple twitter sources have refuted Tyre strike - this guy was nice enough to mention me in tweet -

Hezbollah’s #AlManar Explosion in Tyre area, device thrown by unknown person, Not #Israel related DON'T_USE-THIS/XR6Z9A @Mdarbyreid @GENUG

(it's original story about explosion)

A lot going on right now! Hard to decipher!

Haaretz is reporting Al-Manar report that Tyre explosion was unrelated to Israeli overflights...

Quote - Hezbollah’s television network Al-Manar reported that the explosion in the Tyre area was due to a device thrown by unknown persons and is unconnected to Israeli aircraft.

Fog of war!!!

Slightly OT - US embassy attack related to Turkish Policies in Syria

The clearest clue to is this the political content of the statement by Revolutionary Peoples’ Liberation Party-Front [DHKP-C] claiming responsibility for the attack that killed an embassy security guard and the suicide bomber.

Leaving aside classical mottos of “anti-USA and imperialism,” the following expressions targeting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government places the terror attack in its current context:

“Syrian people decide how Syria will be governed and by whom. Syrian collaborationist looters are trained and armed on our land and are sent back to massacre Syrian people. Syrian people are brothers of Turkish people. We don’t want our land to be used for interests of imperialists. The No. 1 enemy of the people of the world is America. Therefore, to support those resisting America is the primary duty of revolutionaries and people of the world.”

What the hell? no power in the Superdome??

Bad omen of things to come.

Israel might be safe tonight but the War of 1812 is being re-fought here in my neighborhood just south of Baltimore.

First we had fireworks & car alarms, now some moron is shooting a cannon down at the neighborhood beach...

GEEZ - I hope he doesn't hit anything...

VICTORY TO SYRIA! DEATH TO THE CAPITALIST BANKER LOVING, SLAVE DRIVING IMPERIALIST SCUM!

Has the dynamic shifted with the latest developments around MENA? Esp the strikes this past week, almost as a bluff to the persian netwk to strike after their bold, an attack on syria is an attack on iran, rhetoric which was kennedy esque, or even teddy rosvltesque, the west, using israel as the wedge overtly is willing to take the fight to yhem.

I for one back the move by israel as i do not believe we must wait to have damage inflicted upon us to act.

The fact that rumors are saying that israel sent woêrd to both us and russian sources on the 22nd send the signal that russia may not be 100% behind assad. We all know that russia is partnered with assad bc its an easy buck.

Israel is dealing with a time bomb. They have 3 months max till the egyptian unrest spills over the borders of revolt and mayhem. While egyot fights within, israel / west must deal with iranian cells visa ve hezbollah, hamas and rev grd. Bc israel will not deal with, nor should a nation a bit larger than new jersey, an enemy at every gate as they faced back in the 70s.

In the end tho, its clear to see that the political and sociological theorists of the 90s and 00s got it wrong. The resource wars and clash of civilizations phases of the so called post cold war age are morphing into one.

...
Sorry if that was a rant, i usually just follow this thread for the past few yrs, never comment.
Just wanted to know if u think this is a shift in policy, we struck, the spy plane is still in orbit, now we publicly offer talks... srems we hold thr trump card.

How will iran play thouh?

Good thoughts.

I for one see some policy changes immediately. Obama is finally losing patience with Iran. He too though has relieved himself of any responsibility for the outcome in Syria and the Hezbollah. He is allowing Israel to deal with them and likely willing to pay good hardware for Israel to likewise covertly continue to attack the Iranian nuclear program and in the end overtly too. Maybe when Iran is known to be broke and unable to fight off any attack, Obahma would be willing to finish the job kinda Clintonesque. Much to be seen though until then.

For 30 years the crazies have been restless.
