Rumors of War
The Iranian/Syrian Axis have thrown the gauntlet down before our feet. Apparently they have concluded a WWI style mutal defense pact in complete defiance of American strategic moves in the Middle East. This political move by the Persians to join Syria in its "defense" coupled with the recent assasination of Hariri of Lebanon has ratcheted up the likelihood of war in the Middle East between the United States and her terror-state enemies. Its only a matter of time. So lets run down the reasons why Iran and Syria are such a menace.
The Iranians as you very well know are developing nuclear technology primarily for nuclear weapons and secondarily for political leverage on the international scene and thirdly for energy consumption. The Russians, once again, have been their primary source for this nuclear development with a little help from Germany and France. The Iranians are known sponsors of terrorism. As discussed in earlier blogs, terror is simply another form of war that is subject to the machinations and goals of the states that logistically support the terror teams to their final objective. Hariri of Lebanon was but the latest example how terrorism is deployed against a political target for political ends. Notice the reaction of the United States? We recalled our ambassador from Syria which was a political/diplomatic reaction to this attack. The decision to recall our ambassador shows how terrorism is a tool of the state and will not be tolerated any longer by the government of the United States. Its quite possible that the assasination of Hariri was guided by Iran since they support numerous terrorist organizations in Lebanon. Even today in Iraq, a number of terrorist attacks against the Shia majority has its political ramifications.
The Doctrine of Premption does not demand "proof" before we invade a country that is the sponsor of 'Terrorism. We may utilize certain events as our "cassus belli" or justification for war which is well within our right as a sovereign nation and with Iran known for logistically supplying terror groups and actively involved in the development and production of nuclear weapons is all the provocation we need to bring the full power and might of the US Military to bear upon the Ayatollah.
Syria has too long occupied Lebanon without a response from the United States. She too is a active supporter of terror and is a Baathist socialist "republic" which was a silent partner of Saddam Hussein. Syria too has been a close ally of Russia and has allowed her land to be a staging area for terrorists to strike US interests in Iraq and her environs. Syria has refused to cooperate with the Anglo-Americans in the Middle East and has sought her own agenda setting her face against Britain and the United States. I believe Syria received Iraq's WMD weapons amid the political crisis over how the United Nations was going to respond to Iraq before we invaded in 2003. This "window of opportunity" that the diplomatic maneuvering at the UN accomplished was to let Syria to receive WMD material from Saddam and either dispose of it or hide it within the borders of Syria much to the embarrasment of the United States and her allies. The reprecussions of this act has now brought forth the fruit of its labor: namely the left-wing throughout the world questions the efficacy of the War on Terror and is opposed to any further incursions into Dar Al Islam.
The situation in the Middle East is once again fluid and will make many turns before we see clearly what lays ahead. The United States is testing Iran with drones and aircraft flyover's to probe the responsiveness of their anti-air defenses. No doubt Special Forces are operating within Iran and Syria to lay the groundwork for the larger invasions to come.
