It’s Broken Record Time Again
No Middle East War 2008 and 2009
Beginning likely between 2010 and 2015
Islamic Forces Will Not be Prepared Until Then
And they will be defeated if they attack before 2010
I have no doubt behind all the rhetoric Ir ani
ans know It
Iran’s full of bluff and doesn’t have the weaponry to back It
Arabs don’t want nuclear war: advantage numbers, not Nukes!

Pentagon: S-300 won’t reach Iran in 2008

I realize I sound like a broken record on my prediction the long awaited final Middle East war is likely to break out at some point during the time frame from 2010 to 2015.
I do apologize for the last two years of repeating it over and over again in most of my blogs, but every thing coming out of the Middle East, regarding the fitness of the Islamic forces to be able to defeat Israel, continues to point to that time frame.
The longer the standoff continues between Israel and Islam, the more favorable it becomes for Arab forces to defeat Israel and drive her into the Negev wilderness.
Time to prepare is definitely on the side of Islam.
I am not sure they will be prepared for the task of defeating the nation of Israel in 2010, but know they
will be by 2015, hence my reason for the choice of the time frame. If the war were to break out today, I believe the Arabs would lose, and I am convinced they are well aware of it.

Iran is not expected to receive an advanced Russian
-made anti-aircraft system this year, Pentagon officials were quoted by Army Radio on Friday.
The US assessment is at odds with a view expressed by the Israeli intelligence community earlier this week.
Military analysts say the S-300 missile batteries might become a significant hindrance to any Israeli plans to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
On Wednesday, Israeli sources said Iran was set to receive the system, also known in the West as the SA-20, by the end of the year.
First delivery of the S-300 batteries was expected as soon as early September, one Israeli source said, though it could take six to 12 months for them to be deployed and operable.
But Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said: “We firmly believe, based upon our understanding of the situation, that the Iranians will not be receiving that Russian anti-aircraft system this year.” Morrell, who was responding to a query from Reuters, declined to elaborate on the reasons for the Pentagon’s view.
His comments expanded on remarks by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who said on July 9 that it was “highly unlikely that those air defense missiles would be in Iranian hands any time soon.”
The S-300 is one of the best multi-target anti-aircraft-missile systems in the world today and has a reported ability to track up to 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 at the same time.
Iran has already procured several S-300 systems to protect its nuclear facilities although reports have differed as to whether the systems have already been supplied by Russia.

Iranian Saber-Rattling
Yiftah Shapir
On July 9, the Iranian media announced the launching of nine missiles of various types as part of an exercise which coincided with an exercise by the Persian Gulf fleets of the U.S. and British navies off the coast of Bahrain.
The Iranian announcement involved quite a degree of exaggeration. The long-range missile launched appears identical to missiles whose photographs have already been shown in the past. Technologically speaking, it is not feasible to extend the range of such a missile from 1,300 up to 2,000 kilometers without far-reaching changes in the missile’s structure. Perceptive observers noticed a great resemblance between the launches portrayed this time and those shown as part of the exercise in November 2006. They pointed out the possibility that some of the missiles seen in the pictures were added to the original ones with graphics software.
What was shown on television looked like a military display designed to impress observers, emblematic of an alarming trend towards increasing saber-rattling. The Iranian demonstration of power should be seen as an attempt to deliver a message to both Israel and the U.S. – that Iran will be capable of responding. Most of all, however, the launch demonstration was designed for internal needs.
The photographs were apparently aimed at calming the anxious Iranian citizen and at raising his spirits. (Institute for National Security Studies-Tel Aviv University)
