The key factor as to when Middle East War Begins
Is tied to when U.S. Middle East troops come Home!
Obama’s far left liberal base wants them home Today,
And as much pressure as is on
Him IN USA Who Knows
What he will do – Right now he doesn’t know what to Do.
Last war could start anytime AFTER U.S. leaves Middle East,
Ahmadinejad’s chomping at the bit to GET ALL our forces Out!

Ahmadinejad: US-led troops should leave region
September 22, 2008
Iran ready to confront ‘forces of darkness’ as Tel Aviv makes new war threats against Tehran.
TEHRAN – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that US-led foreign troops should leave the region and warned that Tehran would confront any attack on the republic.
“No power will ever dare to think of launching aggression against Iran. Today, Iran is experienced and powerful,” the hawk said in an address to
the nation
on the anniversary of the breakout of the Iran-Iraq war in 1980.
“Our armed forces are ready to confront the forces of darkness. If anybody wants to shoot a bullet at us from anywhere, we will cut off his hands.”
Ahmadinejad, who was to head later Tuesday
to New York to attend the UN General Assembly meeting, demanded that US-led foreign forces leave Iraq and Afghanistan.
“We advise you to go back to your own land. Our region will never accept a lengthy presence of foreigners,” the re-elected president, dressed in his trademark light-colour jacket and wearing sunglasses, said in a ceremony attended by top military and administrative officials.
“As you saw in Iraq and Afghanistan, people are against the presence of foreigners.
It is impossible (for foreign troops) to have a stable base in the region.”
Ahmadinejad’s speech was followed by a military parade, an annual event marking the breakout of the war between Iran and Iraq which lasted almost a decade.
The US had backed Iraq to attack Iran soon after the 1979 revolution in Iran.
Ahmadinejad said the war, which Iran describes as the “Sacred Defence”, was a “humiliation to Satanic forces.” Iranian officials refer to the United States as the Great Satan.
“Chemical weapons were used against our nation and the Satanic powers equipped Saddam (Hussein) against our nation. Saddam was backed by certain arrogant powers,” the president said, reminiscing about
the brutal conflict.
“We ask the arrogant powers to revise their polices… they sell weapons and then talk of peace.”
Ahmadinejad’s comments come just days ahead of a high-profile international meeting between Iran and representatives of the six world powers on Tehran’ s late
st package of proposals.
The package aims to allay concerns over Tehran’s nuclear programme which some powers cliam is aimed at making an atomic bomb, a charge vociferously denied by Iran.
“We have to reach a comprehensive confidence in order to examine the main questions and start negotiations,” foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki told a group of Iranian reporters in New York, the official IRNA news agency reported.
“We have to reach an agenda during these talks and in our package of proposals we have raised different issues… we have addressed the (global) nuclear issue, non-proliferation of arms and urged that all nuclear activities in the world must be supervised by the IAEA,” Mottaki said.
“I think… we can discuss within this framework and can reach mutual confidence concerning nuclear issues.”
He said Tehran was hoping that during the talks the concerned parties reach an agenda to “destroy all atomic weapons in the world”.
Israel says all options still open on Iran
Israel is keeping its options open to deal with the Iranian nuclear programme, a senior official said on Monday, after the Russian president said he had been assured it would not take military action.
Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon reiterated what Israeli leaders have said repeatedly — that Tel Aviv is keeping all options open.
“All options remain on the table,” Ayalon was quoted as saying by his spokesman. “It is certainly not a guarantee.”
Ayalon later told Israel’s army radio that Medvedev could have misunderstood what Peres said, or that his words may have been wrongly interpreted.
“Notwithstanding our respect for the Russian president, he is not in a position to speak in the name of Israel. There has been no change in our position.”
Iran insists it has the right to develop nuclear technology, which it says is aimed at generating energy for its growing population.
Israel is the only country in the Middle Ease that actually has nuclear weapons.
Observers say due the strong Jewish and pro-Israel lobbies in the US and some European countries, these countries have taken a hypocritical stance in relation to nuclear issues in the region.
Tehran had repeatedly protested against Israeli and US war threats, warning them that it would retaliate in the event of any strike against Iran.
