Don’t appease Iran

Should Obama win elections, he must not repeat pre-World War II mistake

October 30, 2008

Barack Obama has shown great style, as he has been able to sidestep issues and controversy throughout his very well run campaign. But does he have enough substance

?

All national elections are labeled as crucial, but the upcoming elections in the United States may in fact be the “most important elections of our time.” The issues on the table are almost unprecedented: A nuclear Iran, the wind up of the war in Iraq, signs of a renewed Cold War and global economic uncertainties are all issues of paramount international importance that the newly elected president will face.

Iran is still the most active state sponsor of terrorism in the world, as it has been for the last quarter century. Yet, Obama, Biden and their team of advisors have endorsed negotiating with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “without any preconditions.” It is therefore not surprising that the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Ali Larijani, said this past week that Tehran “prefers Obama” and feels “100% certain” that he will not consider attacking Iran.

Wrong to negotiate with Holocaust denier

At Iran’s recent “World without Zionism” conference, Ahmadinejad told his audience, “We are in the process of a historical war between the ‘world of arrogance’ and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years.” He elaborated by emphasizing “the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come… Israel must be wiped off the map… and God willing, with the force of God behind us, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism.”

In the run-up to World War II, it was morally and historically wrong to appease the fascist tyrants that would later conquer Europe by storm

and carry out the Holocaust.

Today it is wrong to negotiate with someone who denies the Holocaust ever happened and threatens to mimic (and perhaps outdo) those atrocities.

Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons should be confronted, not appeased.

When I was in Vietnam I was assigned the responsibility of briefing the 5th Special Forces at their daily intelligence headquarters briefing. The intricate tunnel network the Viet Cong had constructed provided them with both an offensive and defensive weapon which, at times, was a real headache to the green berets.

I never had to go down into one of those tunnels to flush out a VC, but I had great admiration for the men who did have the courage to do so.
One would think I had profited from my Vietnam tunnel days but, on my last trip to the Negev Wilderness of Israel, I proved much learning had profited me little. I took only men with me on my last trip, calling it a “rough an ready trip,” and most of them were preachers. We had traveled north on highway 10 out of the extreme southern part of the vast Negev, and I wanted to continue north to the extreme southern tip of the Gaza Strip, or at least far enough to show them one of the many traditional sites of Kadesh Barnea. Highway 10 runs along Egypt’s long east border with the Negev, which is the Sinai. A much better Egyptian highway parallels it on the Sinai side.

add comment effects levitra side

We came to the Nitsana Border Crossing (Mivtsa Khorev Junction) to discover Highway 10 had been blocked, and we would have to go back or take Highway 211 back to the central Negev. I pleaded with the IDF guards in Hebrew to let us go north, and finally convinced them to

let us go through. I whispered to the motley crew I was leading to get back to our vehicles quickly, since I knew

the guard in charge would get on his field phone and advise his Commander he was letting us through. We were not quick enough and his Commander said NO! He may have saved our lives. The terrorist groups were tunneling across Highway 10 all the way to Gaza, and they were armed with AK-47’s. The Commander did say we could go if we had weapons to defend ourselves. Since we could not bring them in by plane, or carry them out by plane, that ended that! Tunnel warfare is a new experience for the IDF.

I will never forget my first personal conversation with a Colonel leading a very large contingency of men into the briefing room.

He told me “we are here to kick VC butts,” and I remember thinking that it’s hard to kick butts in a tunnel.

The First Cav did a great job in Vietnam, and I applaud all it did, but it was there they learned about tunnel warfare.

The Gaza Strip Hamas has learned well from the Lebanese Hizbullah, and the following quote from the Jerusalem Post article, which follows, says it all as far as my fears for the IDF during its eventually showdown with the forces of Islam.

“Gaza is turning into Vietnam,” a senior security official said, “and I am not sure that the IDF will know how to fight in such an environment.”

Security and defense: Tunnel vision

October 30, 2008

Yaakov Katz , THE JERUSALEM POST

On September 21, IDF troops and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) agents apprehended Jamal Abu Duabeh, after he tried infiltrating the country via the porous Egyptian border.

During his subsequent interrogation, Abu Duabeh, 21, from the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, revealed that he had been recruited into a Hamas terror cell that was plotting to lure IDF soldiers to the Egyptian border, with an offer of a drug deal.

body bro good levitra stuff up whats yea yea

There, he told his interrogators, his job was to drug the soldiers, smuggle them across the border into Egypt and finally, via one of the 400 tunnels believed to run under the Philadelphi Corridor, arrive in Gaza.

While Abu Duabeh’s plot was foiled, it demonstrates Hamas’s reliance on the tunnels, not only for weapons and smuggling, but also – as the use of a tunnel in the Gilad Schalit kidnapping at Kerem Shalom in 2006 demonstrated – as an indispensable tool in its terror campaign.

Though a look at the Gaza skyline doesn’t reveal it, there is a building boom inside the Strip – or, to be more exact, underneath it.

Nor is this construction restricted to the Philadelphi Corridor. Now there are tunnels throughout Gaza, and in some of the densely-populated refugee camps.

“Gaza is turning into Vietnam,” a senior security official said, “and I am not sure that the IDF will know how to fight in such an environment.”

At the moment, intelligence estimates indicate that dozens of kilometers of Vietcong-style tunnels are being dug.

They will be used by Hamas operatives to move quickly and covertly between positions, in the event of an IDF ground assault.

Anti-tank crews will also have positions inside the tunnels, from which they will be able to fire the advanced anti-tank missiles recently smuggled into Gaza.

Tunnels are also becoming part of the scene in the West Bank, where IDF soldiers earlier this month found and destroyed a 150-meter-long tunnel underneath downtown Hebron. Last year, similar tunnel systems were discovered in the Nablus casbah.

best cialis levitra viagra which

Hamas is also digging pits in the middle of main access roads to cities and refugee camps in Gaza, which it plans to fill with explosives and detonate under IDF tanks.

Such an explosion occurred on July 12, 2006, when just minutes after Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were kidnapped by Hizbullah, a tank entered Lebanon and rolled over a massive bomb which blew it to pieces, killing its four crew members.

This is not the only lesson Hamas has learned from Hizbullah. The “nature reserves” that the IDF encountered in southern Lebanon during the Second Lebanon War, in which Hizbullah guerrillas had deployed their Katyusha rocket launchers, are now becoming a familiar sight in the sand dunes of Gaza.

BEFORE THE cease-fire went into effect in June, troops from the Golani Brigade’s elite Egoz unit discovered an underground missile “silo” for Kassam rockets. The launchers were all connected to a timer, allowing operators to program them to go off and flee the area. Assessments are that dozens more of these silos are currently being created.

Recently, Hamas allowed reporters from the British papers The Independent and The Guardian to enter the tunnels, interview the mayor of Rafah and write about the industry. The purpose of this was to convey that due to the blockade of Gaza, Hamas is left with no choice but to smuggle in supplies through tunnels.

The IDF claims to have a pretty good idea of where most of the tunnels are located, even though it is collecting most of its intelligence from the air. But, as the top security official stressed, until the military encounters the tunnels, it won’t know if it has sufficiently prepared for this new type of combat.

The combat doctrine is only one of the many problems these tunnels create.

Though the Engineering Corps has a world-leading tunnel unit called Samur, technology for detecting tunnels that are dug deep underground is limited.

The IDF uses a number of different technologies, from seismic sensors to sonars, that the American military is teaching the Egyptians how to use along the Philidelphi Corridor, with limited success. In addition, say experts, each technology has its limits in range and accuracy.

THE IDF has faced the tunnel threat in Gaza for years.

cipro 500

In a May 2007 report, State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss accused the military of dragging its feet in development and procurement to counter it.

index of reverse search

The audit found that the military only began formulating a concrete systematic plan for confronting the tunnel threat in December 2004, after a number of tunnels had been used in deadly attacks against outposts in Gaza. The General Staff, the report claimed, mismanaged the process by failing to create a doctrine for dealing with the tunnels. The staff work done at the time was incomplete, the comptroller wrote, accusing the IDF, and particularly the General Staff, of failing properly to integrate the field work being run by Chief Engineering Officer Brig.-Gen. Shimon Daniel with Military Intelligence and the Shin Bet.

buy zithromax non-prescription

In January 2005, a former officer appointed by chief of General Staff Moshe Ya’alon submitted a report recommending that the IDF establish a “tunnel administration” responsible for synchronizing and coordinating among all the various defense branches involved in combating the threat. The administration was never established.

The Defense Ministry’s Research and Development Directorate (Mafat) was also slammed by the comptroller for dragging its feet in the development of technology that could be used to locate tunnels. According to the report, in 1990, Mafat asked local defense companies to present ideas, and one system was even being examined up until 1997. The comptroller found, however, that from 1997-2001, no progress was made.

Over the past year – particularly since the cease-fire went into effect in June, and the tunneling in Gaza gained momentum – the IDF, led by Deputy Chief of Staff Maj.-Gen. Dan Harel, has again been emphasizing the development of an effective detection technology.

At the moment, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and his deputy Matan Vilna’i are in favor of extending the cease-fire – which with isolated exceptions has held fairly well – by another three-to-six months. Both explain that their main consideration is the quiet in the Negev and that while Hamas is amassing weapons and building up its military, the pace is not much different from what it was before the truce began.

The tunneling in Gaza, a senior defense official explained, is indicative of a Hamas understanding that, though it cannot defeat the IDF, it can try to prevent a decisive victory, the way Hizbullah did during the Second Lebanon War.

“Hamas knows it is not stronger than us,” the official explained. “But with Hizbullah-style guerrilla tactics, it will try to prevent a victory from us like in 2006. Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Syrian riot police ring US Embassy in Damascus ahead of anti-American protest

By BASSEM MROUE , Associated Press

October 30, 2008

DAMASCUS, Syria – Tens of thousands of Syrians turned out Thursday for a massive government-orchestrated protest against a deadly U.S. raid near the Iraqi border.

blinklist com levitrai

A mile away, hundreds of Syrian riot police formed a protective ring around the closed U.S. Embassy, but the flag-waving crowds dispersed peacefully after a couple of hours later, with students heading to schools and employees to work.

The troops, wearing helmets and armed with batons and shields, took up positions around the embassy and the adjacent U.S. residence building. The embassy was closed because of security concerns related to the protest, and the American school in Damascus was also shut for the day.

Thursday’s protest came as Syria demanded a formal apology from the U.S. for Sunday’s attack in the eastern border community of Abu Kamal that Damascus says killed eight civilians. It threatened to cut off cooperation on Iraqi border security if there are more American raids on Syria territory.

There has been no formal acknowledgment of the raid from Washington. But U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have said the target of the raid was Badran Turki al-Mazidih, a top al-Qaida in Iraq figure who operated a network of smuggling fighters into the war-torn country. The Iraqi national also goes by the name Abu Ghadiyah.
Syria insists the dead were civilians and has challenged Americans to provide evidence to the contrary.

“This aggression did not succeed,” said Information Minister Mohsen Bilal. “It was supposed to yield a catch so that they could show it to the world … But the catch turned out to be an innocent family.”

No violence was reported at Thursday’s rally on the Youssef al-Azmi square and surround ing streets

in the upscale al-Maliki neighborhood. Some young Syrians formed circles and danced traditional dances while women and students joined the peaceful crowds.

Protesters waved national flags, carried pictures of President Bashar Assad and held banners, one of which called America “the sponsor of destruction and wars.”

Hussam Baayoun, a 20-year-old university student at the rally, said the U.S. raid was a “criminal act” and added: “We want the Americans to stop their acts of terrorism in Syria, in Iraq and the rest of the world.”

In Washington, State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood said Wednesday that Syria had formally notified the U.S. of the closure order for the cultural center, effective immediately, and the school by Nov.

6.

Wood said Washington was considering how to respond and that the U.S. expects the Syrian government to “provide adequate security for the buildings.”

Though Syria has long been viewed by the U.S. as a destabilizing country in the Middle East, in recent months, Damascus has been trying to change its image and end years of global seclusion.

But American accusations that Syria wasn’t doing enough to prevent foreign fighters from crossing its borders into Iraq, remains a sore point in relations. Syria says it is doing all it can to safeguard its long, porous border.

Iranian Nuke Scientist: Weekend Quake was a Nuclear Test

Cheshvan 1, 5769

October 30, 2008

By Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) A weekend 5.0 Richter earthquake in Iran was actually a nuclear bomb test, says an Iranian nuclear scientist claiming to be working on the project.

The report is an Israel Insider exclusive.

This past Saturday night, southern Iran experienced what was reported as a significant earthquake – a seismic event measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale. Its epicenter was just north of the strategic Straits of Hormuz, which separates Iran from Abu Dhabi and Oman and

The report quotes an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to be working in uranium enrichment for the project, and who said that the “quake” was actually an undergound nuclear bomb test.

Israel Insider adds that the test/quake was actually the second in a series. Nine days ago, a 4.8 Richter scale event occurred, with its epicenter only five kilometers away from the weekend tremor.

The Israel Insider source reports that two nuclear rockets are currently ready – and are intended for use against Israel in the coming months.

If the report is correct, it would belie previous speculation that Iran would not begin nuclear testing until it had more nuclear-bomb production capability.

The geographical location of the test has several advantages.

It is exposed to significant seismic activity, which could serve to mask nuclear tests; it is believed to be close to Iran’s nuclear development facility; delivery and transport of material and personnel can be effected easily through the Hormuz Strait; and Iranian enemies would hesitate to bomb the area because that would threaten the flow of a substantial percentage of the world’s oil.

Reuters reports Thursday morning that Iran has begun building a line of naval bases along its southern coast and up to the Straits of Hormuz.

October 30, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

When war breaks out in the Middle East the Strait of Hormuz

best cialis levitra viagra which

will be a very dangerous passage and a highly contested area.

According to the Encyclopedia of Earth two-thirds of the world’s oil is transported by ocean; straits and canals are therefore vital in reduc

body bro good levitra stuff up whats yea yea

ing the time and costs of transporting oil, as well as other goods, globally. Any political disturbances or upheavals can cause the “choking” of the few important straits for world oil transit and thus disrupt world oil prices.

The abundance of oil and the world’s dependence on imported oil from this region make the Strait of Hormuz one of the most important chokepoints to monitor. The strait has a width of 54 km (34 miles) and is consequently a relatively easy passageway to obstruct. Roughly 17 million billion barrels per day (bbl/d) or 40% of world’s oil passes through this strait daily.

The UAE and Iran, along with the rest of the Persian Gulf

diflucan cost

countries (Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia), produced 27% of the world’s oil in 2003 and collectively hold more than half of the world’s total oil reserves, as reported by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries import the majority of their oil from the Persian Gulf; in 2003, 11.6 million barrels per day were exported to OECD countries. The majority of oil leaving this region passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

There have been threats to disrupt passage through the Straits of the narrow seaway.

cheap antibiotics online

Fortunately, the strait has never actually been shut down, yet the constant political, religious, ethnic, and territorial disputes between the Persian Gulf countries has made the world anxious in anticipation of obstruction.

On September 22, 1980, Iraq invaded Iran, initiating an eight-year war between the two countries. The Iran-Iraq war was the manifestation of deeply rooted religious and ethnic divisions, border conflicts, and political differences. Religious and ethnic divides between the Sunnis and the Shias, coupled with personal hostility between Saddam Hussein and Ayatollah Khomeini, then-leaders of Iraq and Iran respectively, added to the tension.

In 1984, Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz after repeated attacks by Iraq disrupted Iranian shipping.

after clomid

However, in order to continue exporting oil and maintain its economy, Iran needed to keep the strait open and ultimately backed down from this threat.

Another threat to the Strait of Hormuz involves the ongoing dispute between the UAE and Iran over three islands – Abu Musa, Greater Tunb Island, and Lesser Tunb Island – all located near the Strait of Hormuz. The island Abu Musa is of particular interest because it is thought to contain large deposits of oil. By 1992, Iran managed to informally secure the islands even though no official agreement had been made with

cipro 500

the UAE.

The Gulf Cooperation Council and the UAE are reluctant to interfere for fear that Iran will retaliate by closing the strait.

protonix

Claims to the islands are still being disputed, yet Iran has asserted dominance by developing military stations on these islands, particularly guarding Abu Musa. Such development on these strategic islands will only facilitate Iran’s capability to close off the straits and defend itself against US military attacks.

In 1997, Iran once again threatened to close the strait if the United States attempted to interfere with Iranian terrorism against other Persian Gulf countries.

Although Iran has yet to follow through on its threats to close the strait, if it were to happen, alternative routes would need to be utilized. This could add to transportation costs and forestall the global distribution of oil, causing oil prices to increase.

Petroleum is the single most important commodity in today’s world. Our dependence on this resource can be felt in the way society reacts to even minor shifts in oil markets. With demand and consumption increasing, mankind’s dependence on oil only continues to grow. Our dependence is such, that any minor interference in the production or distribution of oil has profound economic and political consequences. Because oil being exported through the Strait of Hormuz is projected to increase, ensuring the flow of oil through this hostile region will continue to be a crucial issue in the years to come.
