U.S. Falsely accused of Dividing the Divided!

As I indicated in the Saturday Evening Blog, only the usual insane surface accusations would be issued by Syria and Iran in the scheduled Saturday meeting between Presidents of the two countries, and I was not disappointed, as two Jerusalem Post articles, which follow, attest.
The Sunni and Shiite Muslim sects have been divided for centuries, and their intense lack of trust for each other is exceeded only by their absolute hatred
of Israel, which is about the only thing that can hold them together long enough to fight a war.
The iron and clay mixture characteristics of these descendants of Ishmael and Keturah are well documented. Their common hatred for Israel will soon be able to hold them together long enough to drive Israel into the Wilderness of Negev, and then form a temporary Islamic iron and clay Caliphate Kingdom stretching from Morocco to India. However, the Caliphate will then be replaced by a Kingdom set up by God over which Messiah will reign.
Daniel 2:41-44 – And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
[42] And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and
part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

Assad, Ahmadinejad vow to cooperate against US, Israel
AP and JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST
February 17, 2007
Syrian President Bashar Assad and his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday night pledged to cooperate to confront US and Israeli plans in the Middle East.
“We should cooperate and work to make the public aware of the sinister aims of the United States and the Zionists,” Assad said after his meeting with Ahmadinejad, according to the state-run IRNA agency.
“Iran and Syria support the peoples of the region
and the enemies will only reach their goals by creating pessimism and disunity amongst Muslims,” he added.
Assad went on to say that the United States had suffered many failures in Iraq and, therefore, was bringing up “baseless charges”
against Iran and Syria day after day to create fresh challenges in the region.
Ahmadinejad concurred with the Syrian president saying that “we should be careful about the enemies’ efforts to create division and conflict amongst Muslims and make sure they do not reach their sinister goals.”
“Under the current conditions Islamic countries must preserve their vigilance, unity and wisdom to prevent the establishment of new conspiracies,” he added.
Ahmadinejad also voiced his support for the new Palestinian Authority unity government stressing that conflicts among Muslim groups would only serve the interests of the “enemies of Islam.”
Assad was given a red-carpet welcome at the Presidential Palace in the Iranian capital, the Iranian state-run television reported.
The US has accused Iran and Syria of not doing enough to stop militants crossing from these countries into Iraq to join the insurgency. Both have rejected the charges.
It was Assad’s fifth visit to Iran since he
took office in 2000. Iran and Syria have long been close allies.
During the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, Syria was the only Arab country to support Iran.
During the past 10 years, Iranian companies have invested more than $700 million in Syria, in sectors such as power generation, automobiles, cement and agriculture.
