Restructuring in Islamic Hierarchy for Future Attack on Israel!
December 14, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
There are definite signs in the Islamic world, produced by the Annapolis Peace Conference and the CIA NIE Announcement, which made it clear the US was pulling back from an attack on Iran’s nuclear complex and was, to some extent, watering down their support for the nation of Israel.
I am of the opinion the Middle East Islamic nations, Russia, and China are going to be directing their energies toward preparation for a large scale military campaign against little Israel, which Islam is unlikely to launch until they feel they are in a position to win such a war. I doubt if they will feel competent to pull off a victory prior to 2010, but will reach such a level of competence at some point in time between 2010 and 2015.
I do not expect Russia and China to join in the fray until Armageddon, which will follow the initial Islamic pushing of Israel into the Negev by some three and one-half years.
I agree with Henry Kissinger’s analysis of the CIA NEI, which follows immediately, and the two articles which follow it show the restructuring internally of the Middle East Islamic Hierarchy.
This restructuring will continue to bring an ever increasing Arab unity.

Misreading the Iran Report
Henry Kissinger
December 13, 2007
The new NIE holds that Iran may be able to produce enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon by the end of 2009 and, with increasing confidence, more warheads by the period 2010 to 2015. That is virtually the same timeline as was suggested in the 2005 National Intelligence Estimate. It is therefore doubtful that the evidence supports the dramatic language of the NIE summary and, even less so, the broad conclusions drawn in much of the public commentary.
If my analysis is correct, we could be witnessing not a halt of the Iranian weapons program – as the NIE asserts – but a subtle, ultimately more dangerous, version of it that will phase in the warhead when fissile material production has matured.
The NIE does not reject this theory; it does not even examine it. (Washington Post)

Report: Nasrallah demoted by Khamenei
JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
December 13, 2007
Some of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s responsibilities have been taken away by the organization’s backer Iran, the pan-Arabic daily Asharq Alawsat claimed Thursday.
Reportedly, Nasrallah is no longer in control of the organization’ s military wing,
which is now headed by Nasrallah’s deputy Sheikh Na’im Kassem.
The Iranian official Asharq Alawsat cites as the one who demoted Nasrallah is none other th an Ir
an Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The report follows a similar report by Israeli daily Ma’ariv Wednesday, but none of the reports have been officially confirmed by Iran.
Western intelligence sources cited by Asharq reported that Teheran was furious over Nasrallah’s conduct during the Second Lebanon War and that was the reasoning behind the decision to diminish Nasrallah’s authority.
Sources close to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards quoted an officer in the Iranian elite force as saying Kassem was chosen after he and Nasrallah had disagreements regarding the organization of Hizbullah’s military wing. Khamenei’s representative in Lebanon.
“Kassem isn’t only Hizbullah’s second-in-command but also Khamenei’s representative in Lebanon and Palestine.”
Hizbullah’s budget in the last 18 months has been $1 billion, to compensate the organization for the losses it suffered during the war. Hizbullah’s yearly Iranian budget stands on $400 million, the officer added.
Reportedly, Khamenei appointed a committee of top Revolutionary Guards commanders and entrusted them with restructuring Hizbullah’s military and intelligence wings.
Among the commanders in the committee is the Kuds Brigade commander Kassem Suleimani.and the former head of Hizbullah’s intelligence wing Imad Mughnia, who is one of the top names on the US’s most wanted terrorists list

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Saudi-Iranian rapprochement gains impetus with Washington’s blessing. Moscow sets timetable to finish Bushehr reactor
December 13, 2007, 7:55 PM (GMT+02:00)
Saudi king Abdullah has invited Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be the first Islamic Republic president to perform the pilgrimage to Mecca, which begins on Dec. 18. It will be their second public appearance together in two weeks.
Their first was at the GCC summit in Doha, where they arrived hand in hand. DEBKAfile and DEBKA-Net-Weekly have closely tracked the unfolding of the Saudi-brokered Washington-Tehran dialogue, moving on now to the evolution of Riyadh’s own epic rapprochement with Tehran.
This development signals Saudi recognition of Iran and its president as regional powers and King Abdullah’s willingness to share his Middle East leadership role with an Iranian partner. The rug is implicitly pulled from under the international campaign to punish Iran severely for its nuclear activities, while Tehran’s ally Syria and surrogates, Hizballah, Hamas and Jihad Islami, gain new standing.
Moscow has also announced a timetable for finishing Iran’s nuclear reactor at Bushehr complete with fuel, confirming DEBKAfile’s report of Dec.
