There is no Honor among Islamic Dictators!

One of the surest signs that we are headed for a major war in the ever turbulent Middle East is the scurrying of the so-called “moderate” Arab rift-rat Islamic leaders. They are seeking for a position that will allow them to come out as good buddies with whoever happens to come out as the winner in such a conflict.
Arab Moderates are covering their tails in the event Arab Extremists should win the next major Middle East Conflict!
To trust a so-called “moderate” Islamic nation is like trusting a snake that warns you by rattling before it strikes, and isn’t as venomous or aggressive as other dangerous snakes. A war is brewing across the turbulent Middle East, and the rulers of the moderate nations are trying to establish relations with the fanatical nations, in order to be allowed to stay in power should fanatical Islam win the war.
Israel’s mistake in trusting Nations around her rather than her God has usually caused her eventual defeat as a consequence.
II Kings 18:21 – Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
Israel has been historically guilty in Bible times of trusting in alliances with a stronger nation to protect her from other nations rather than trusting in her God to protect her. Do you remember the promises ole buddy Egypt made to Israel if she would go along with its brokered plan to get
Israel to pull out of Gaza? Consider what Egypt has done, in the following article, since Israel pulled out of Gaza.

EGYPT QUIETLY ABANDONS GAZA
March 27, 2007
TEL AVIV [MENL] — Egypt’s military has quietly abandoned the Gaza Strip.
Israeli sources said the 100-member Egyptian military advisory delegation that arrived in the Gaza Strip in mid-2006 has been recalled.
They said two generals have remained, but spend most of their time in Israel to ensure their safety from Palestinian attacks.
“The Egyptians have lost influence with the Hamas government and found that they were under constant threat,” an Israeli source said. “Under such conditions, it was better to pull out the advisers.”
The sources said an Egypti
an security delegation formally remains in Gaza Strip.
They said the delegation, led by Maj.
Gen.
Burhan Hamad, was comprised of a handful of personnel attached to the Egyptian Representative Office in Gaza City.

Iran Mends Fences with Arabs – Starting with Saudis
April 1, 2007, 7:44 PM (GMT+02:00)
The live wire at last week’s Arab League summit in Riyadh was undoubtedly the non-Arab guest of honor, Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
He breezed around the Arab delegations hard-selling the notion of a mutual defense treaty between Iran and the Arabs on the lines of the Tehran-Damascus pact.
Mottaki argued that a treaty of this kind would allay Arab fears of an Iranian nuclear threat, put a stop to a Middle East nuclear arms race, provide the Arabs with a protective umbrella against Israeli aggression and set up an Arab-Islamic front against US and other foreign intervention in the region.
The Iranian diplomat’s proposition fell on willing ears.
DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report that he had a long conversation in Riyadh with Saudi foreign minister Prince Saudi al-Faisal, at which they looked the treaty plan in some detail and agreed that their defense ministries would assign special teams to explore it further.
The Iranian minister argued that the joint effort of Riyadh and Tehran to pacify Lebanon and reconcile the internal differences among its rival factions could work as well for the Palestinian Authority. He said increasing Saudi-Iranian cooperation in joint diplomatic-strategic projects across the Middle East ought to extend to the military sphere.
Our source also reported exchanges between the Iranian and Egyptian delegations to the Arab summit last week on the resumption of diplomatic ties.
Saturday, March 31, Iran’s chief of staff Gen. Hassan Fayrouz Abadi, prodded the Arabs again; he urged them to hurry up and join Iran in a defense treaty because, he claimed, Israel threatened a war offensive in summer, two months hence. According to the Iranian general, Israel was bent on a “suicide assault” against a number of Arab states to save the Americans from having to pull their troops out of Iraq.
Before the conference ended, the Saudi foreign minister arranged a four-way meeting between King Abdullah, Mottaki, and the two Palestinian leaders, Mahmoud Abbas and Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas. Together they discussed how Iran and Saudi Arabia could work together to apply the Mecca reconciliation accords which established a unity government between Fatah and Hamas. This was taken by Iran as Riyadh’s approval of the military assistance Tehran gives the Palestinians and a formal, collective Arab endorsement.
DEBKAfile’s political analysts take this step as a mark of Saudi contempt for Israel, and further, the collapse of the Saudi initiative led by national security adviser Prince Bandar bin-Sultan for direct Saudi-Israeli talks. Instead, the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement led by Saudi al-Faisal has prevailed. The Israel-Palestinian issue has been shifted to the Saudi-Iranian ken by the Faisal faction which has attained ascendancy in Riyadh and argues that the time has come for the Arabs to take their fate in their own hands and drop their dependence on foreign powers, namely the Americans.
DEBKAfile’s sources have learned that talks for the resumption of Egyptian-Iranian diplomatic relations have already begun.
Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak entertained for breakfast in Cairo last week Iranian ex-president Muhammad Hatami, who now heads the Institute for Dialogue among Cultures. Present too was Egyptian prime minister Ahmed Natif. Relations were broken off in 1979, the first year of
the Islamic revolution, after Ayatollah Khomeini praised the murderers of President Anwar Sadat and a Tehran thoroughfares for one of the assassins, Muhammad Islambouly.
Hatami pressed his host to seriously consider resuming diplomatic relations, maintaining that the Muslim world is beset by a crisis caused by Western domination. Muslim powers must therefore work together to recover control of their own countries. He spoke highly of Egypt’s importance in the Arab and Muslim worlds. By working together, the two governments could make a difference, he said.
After the meal, Hatami and Natif put their heads together and agreed that a high-rank ing Iranian delegation would visit Cairo
in April to set up arrangements for the two embassies to re-open. The Iranian leader made a similar attempt to restore relations in 2001 when he was president. It broke down when Iranian extremists refused to take down Islambouli’s street name as demanded by Cairo.
