Accepting THE Inevitable,
If you have FAITH in Christ,
Is not a Difficult Assignment!
My life is hid in God with Jesus,
Why worry as death comes Near.
His word let’s me know war’s Near,
But it also tells me how the war Ends,
So I could care less when it does Begin,
Since I Know my Savior Will Win The War,
And Give me a GLO RI
FIED spiritual Exterior,
And My Glorified Body Will NEVER WEAR OUT!
When He comes will you KNOW HIM as Savior
?
It is quite possible by Faith IN HIM to wait in Joy,
Accepting the Inevitable IS NOT A difficult Journey,
When SAVED learn to take His yoke and REST IN IT.
Middle East War And HIS Second Advent’s Inevitable,
Accept His Gift & Take His Yoke to Keep Your Garment!

Matthew 11:28-30 – Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Revelation 16:15,16 – Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. [16] And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Taking Iran Seriously
Daniel R. Coats, Charles S. Robb, and Charles Wald
(Wall Street Journal)
September 10, 2009
Last year, a high-level Bipartisan Policy Center task force in which we participated concluded that a nuclear weapons-capable Iran would be “strategically untenable.” Not only has Iran continued its nuclear program
unabated, but its regime has emerged from post-election turmoil more radical than ever.
A nuclear-armed Iran would not only pose a security threat to the U.S. and its allies.
It would embolden Iranian-sponsored terrorist groups, destabilize the region, upset global energy markets, and spark a wave of proliferation across the Middle East.
We understand the reluctance of Americans to consider confronting the Iranian nuclear threat, given their weariness from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and continued economic hardships.
But after eight months of diplomatic overtures, numerous rebuffs and a brutal crackdown on its own people, Tehran’s willingness to negotiate in good faith is subject to considerable doubt. We believe it is now time to devise a new strategy.
Mr. Coats, a former Republican senator from Indiana, Mr. Robb, a former Democratic senator from Virginia, and Mr.
Wald, a retired general and air commander in Operation Enduring Freedom, are authors of a new Bipartisan Policy Center report on Iran, “Meeting the Challenge: Time Is Running Out.”

U.S. Says Iran Has Ability to Expedite a Nuclear Bomb
William J. Broad, Mark Mazzetti and David E. Sanger
American intelligence agencies have concluded in recent months that Iran has created enough nuclear fuel to make a rapid, if risky, sprint for a nuclear weapon, but has deliberately stopped short of the critical last steps to make a bomb.
Glyn Davies, the American ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, declared on Wednesday that Iran now had a “possible breakout capacity” to enrich its stockpile of uranium to bomb-grade material. In interviews over the past two months, intelligence and military officials, and members of the Obama administration, have said they are convinced that Iran has made significant progress on uranium enrichment, especially over the past year.
In a 2007 announcement, the U.S. said Iran had worked on designs for making a warhead in a project that was halted in 2003. The new intelligence finds no convincing evidence that the design work has resumed.
But Israel has cited evidence that the design effort secretly resumed in 2005, at the order of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Israelis have argued that there could be little or no warning time before Iran completes building an actual weapon – especially if Iran has hidden facilities. Israeli officials cite two secret programs in Iran, Project 110 and Project 111, the code names for what are believed to be warhead-design programs run by an academic, Mohsen Fakrizadeh. International inspectors have shown videos and documents suggesting that Fakrizadeh’s group has worked on nuclear triggers, trajectories for missiles and the detonation of a warhead at almost 2,000 feet above ground – which would suggest a nuclear detonation.
Accurate intelligence about the progress of Iran’s weapons programs has been notoriously poor. Much of the country’s early activity was missed for nearly 18 years, until a dissident group revealed the existence of enrichment efforts.
Israeli officials say privately that the Obama administration is deluding itself in thinking that diplomacy will persuade Iran to give up its nuclear program. Even inside the White House, some officials think Mr. Obama’s diplomatic effort will prove fruitless. (New York Times)

Ayatollahs Cast Growing Shadow in Latin America
Roman D. Ortiz
Tehran employs a combination of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Lebanese terrorist group Hizbullah in its covert operations. The presence of both organizations in Latin America has substantially increased in recent years.
For example, the IRGC is cooperating closely with Venezuelan intelligence agencies.
Hizbullah has built a network of relations with Venezuelan citizens, making Caracas Hizbullah’s gateway into Latin America. The U.S. Treasury Department says a Venezuelan diplomat accredited in Beirut, Ghazi Nasr al D
in, provided support to Hizbullah, including help with setting up its fund-raising apparatus in Latin America.
Hizbullah’s presence has been detected behind the proliferation of Shiite mosques in Ecuador.
Hizbullah has been involved in contrab and drugs in Colombia
and in illegal immigrant traffic in Mexico. It is also expanding its presence in the region via proxies such as “Hizbullah Argentina” and “Hizbullah Venezuela.” The writer is a professor at the School of Economy at Los Andes University in Bogota, Columbia. (Atlanta Journal Constitution)

Discovery of Weapons Cache Suggests Iranian Meddling in Afghan War
Jennifer Griffin
The discovery of a weapons cache in western Afghanistan has raised concerns that Iran is interfering in that country, much like it did in Iraq, by supplying weapons used to attack and kill U.S. and coalition troops, U.S. officials say. Afghan and NATO forces uncovered the weapons cache on Aug.
29 in Herat. It included a small number of Iranian-made “explosively formed penetrators,” hyper-powerful roadside bombs similar to the weapons used to kill U.S. forces in Iraq. Also seized were 107 Iranian-made BM-1 rockets and dozens of blocks of Iranian C4 plastic explosives. Other coalition countries allege the Iranian influence is even deeper and that Iranian intelligence is funneling money to Afghan President Hamid Karzai. (FOX News)
