I have stated in numerous previous blogs I believed a wide scale Middle East war would break out at some point in time between 2008 and the end of 2012. At some point in this time period, I expect the two major facets blocking the likely possibility of war, to be removed. The two blocks to an all out war are: (1) The presence of large numbers of U.S. forces in Iraq, and (2) Iran does not yet possess an array of deterrent nuclear warheads mounted on Shihab missiles, ready to launch.
When these two major blocks are out of the way, a widespread Middle East war will soon break out.
Block Number (1) should be out of the way
by 2009, and Block Number (2) should be out of the way before 2012. The most likely time for such a war to start will increase steadily after 2009, and the most likely time for it to begin
will be the two year slot from late 2011 to 2013.
I do expect a local war to break out between the legitimate government of Lebanon and Hizbullah this year or in early 2008.
I believe that a coup of the government will allow Hizbullah to take over the existing Parliament, or at least the southern half of Lebanon, where they would set up a new Middle East State.

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Iran, Syria Hizballah feared stoking major conflagration in Lebanon to forestall Security Council reprimand on July 16

DEBKAfile cites Western, Saudi and Lebanese intelligence, as sighting hectic preparations by Iran, Syria and the Hizballah, to foment major trouble in Lebanon up to and after mid-July.
They intend the eruption to throw off track the July 16 UN Security Council session called to castigate their non-implementation of its Resolution 1701, especially their defiance of the clauses banning the continued arms smuggling to Hizballah from Iran and Syria.
Our W ashington sources report th
at ahead of the session, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appealed to a number of European and Asian governments for contingents to bolster the UN force patrolling South Lebanon.
None refused outright, only explaining they were short of military manpower.
This would also apply to the United States.
DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources expect the ructions already gripping Lebanon to escalate from mid-July and climax in the first week of September, when the pro-Syrian president Emil Lahoud ends his tenure.
Damascus, Tehran and Hizballah are aiming to bring down the pro-Western Fouad Siniora’s government in Beirut or at least shrink its jurisdiction to a number of neighborhoods in the capital similar to Nouri al Maliki’s adm inistration
in Baghdad.
Word has reached Riyadh from Damascus, indicating that president Bashar Assad means to use the showdown in Lebanon to ignite war clashes in all of Lebanon, and against Israel on two fronts, the Golan and the Gaza Strip.
