Against A Sea of Troubles

August 26, 2006

Will America act to remove the weapons of mass destruction, and the

nuclear

weapons program in Persia, which since 1935 has been

so-called " Iran " , which literally means LAND OF THE ARYANS, it

changed its name

from Persia in 1935 in its alliance with Hitler, and the weapons of

mass

destruction in Syria, some of which may now, or may soon be, in the

hands of

Hezbollah or of Hamas, whose headquarters are in Damascus, of will

America wait

until those weapons are used against Israel, against America,

against the rest

of the civilized world?

We urge you to contact President Bush now, and every single day,

until he does

act. Please go to http://www.whitehouse.gov and contact the

President to urge

him to act now.

We are aware of the terrible tragedy which such action contains. We

have great

fondness for the people of Persia. They are a proud and noble people

with a

history which they should be proud of for the most part.

Unfortunately a weak

President named Jimmy Carter let the lunatics take charge in Persia

and stay in

power. Today those lunatics and their allies in Damascus, and their

joint

puppets in Lebanon and elswhere are a direct threat to Israel and

America and

civilization in general.

A far greater tragedy would result from inaction on the part of

President Bush.

Unless dramatic action is taken by President Bush now it may be too

late to head

off an imminent WMD attack on Israel and America and the rest of the

civilized

world by Persia, a.k.a. " Iran " , and its Syrian allies and assorted

terrorist

puppets.

Iran launches large land, air and sea military exercise

By Associated Press

Saturday, August 19, 2006 - Updated: 09:03 AM EST

TEHRAN, Iran - Iran on Saturday launched a series of large-scale

military

exercises aimed at introducing the country's new defensive doctrine,

state-run

television reported.

The television report said the military exercise would occur in 14

of the

country's 30 provinces and could last as long as five weeks.

The first stage of the maneuvers began with air strikes in the

southeastern

province of Sistan va Baluchistan, the report said.

The military exercises come as Iran faces heightened international

scrutiny

because of its contentious nuclear program and for supporting the

guerrilla

group Hezbollah in Lebanon....

The Islamic Republic, which views the United States as an arch foe,

also is

concerned about the U.S. military presence in neighboring Iraq and

Afghanistan

and Israel's threats to destroy its nuclear facilities.

The military exercise, involving 12 infantry regiments, is

called " The Blow

of Zolfaghar, " in reference to a sword that belonged to Imam Ali,

one of the

most revered figures of Islam for Shiite Muslims. A majority of

Iran's 70

million people are Shiite....

Saturday August 19, 2006 `Blow of Zolfaqar' wargames begin in

southeastern Iran

" Whether `tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of

outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and,

by opposing, end them? " Hamlet, William Shakespeare

Shakespeare was well aware of the dilemmas caused by lack of

decisiveness.

Indecision is in fact a decision. To avoid action is

to permit other actions to occur. Sir Edmund Burke put it this

way: " All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in this

world is for a few good men to do nothing. "

Saddam Hussein,

nephew of Khayrallah Tulfah, of the 1941 Pro-Nazi coup in Iraq " We're

dealing with Hitler revisited. " George Bush on Saddam Hussein, Oct.

15, 1990.***. The current leader of Iraq was born on April 28, 1937,

in a small village of al-Auja near the town of Takrit. His early

child

hood was spent in a mud hut in a mostly Sunni Muslim part of Iraq,

which is approximately (100) one-hundred miles north of Baghdad.

Hussein's father, Hussein al-Majid, died or abandoned the family

(according to who is reporting the story), within a short time of his

birth. Accurate records are difficult to obtain in a country where

Hussein's birthday is celebrated as a national holiday. He was reared

alone by his mother Subha, until she took a second husband, Ibrahim

Hassan. Hassan, often said to have been brutal and a thief, was a

sheepherder by profession and enlisted Saddam in his ventures.

According to a former personal secretary of Hussein, his step father

abused Saddam and sent him to steal chicken and sheep to be sold.

This

pattern continued until 1947 when, at the age of ten, he was allowed

to move in with his mother's brother, in Baghdad. " Saddam's Uncle:

" Three Whom God Should Not Have Created: Iranians, Jews and Flies. "

In Baghdad, Hussein began to learn more

than reading and writing.

His tutor, Khayrallah had been

" cashiered " from the Iraqi army for

supporting a " Pro-Nazi " coup attempt

that failed. Khayrallah's

bitterness towards the British and

imperialism, soon was transferred

to Saddam. In fact, some confidants of

Hussein point to his

relationship with Tulfah

as a turning point in his political

awareness. To demonstrate Tulfah's

importance to Hussein, he was later

made Mayor of Baghdad under the

Hussein regime. Saddam finished

intermediate school (roughly the

equivalent of 9th Grade) at the age of

sixteen, and attempted to be

admitted to the prestigious Baghdad Military Academy. Unfortunately,

his poor grades prevented him from doing so, and he became more

deeply

involved in political matters. In 1956, he participated in a

non-successful coup attempt against the monarchy of King Faisal II.

In

1957, he joined the Baath party, a radical nationalist movement. In

1958, a non-Baathist group of army officers succeeded in overthrowing

the King. The group was led by General Abdul Qassim. In 1959, Saddam

and a group of Baathist supporters attempted to assassinate Gen.

Qassim by a day-light machine-gun attack. The attack was

unsuccessful,

but it helped to place Hussein in a leadership position in the

Baathist movement and furthered the process of nationalist political

indoctrination. After the attack, in which Hussein is slightly

wounded, he fled to Syria. From Syria, he went to Cairo, Egypt where

he would spend the next four (4) years. 2 [ Also in Cairo, In 1951, a

close relative of the Mufti named Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa

el-Husseini matriculated to the University of Cairo. The student

decided to conceal his true identity and enlisted as " Yasser Arafat. "

3 ] Persecution was at its worst at the end of 1968. Scores were

jailed upon the discovery of a local " spy ring " composed of Jewish

businessmen. Fourteen men-eleven of them Jews-were sentenced to death

in staged trials and hanged in the public squares of Baghdad; others

died of torture. On January 27, 1969, Baghdad Radio called upon

Iraqis

to " come and enjoy the feast. " Some 500,000 men, women and children

paraded and danced past the scaffolds where the bodies of the hanged

Jews swung; the mob rhythmically chanted " Death to Israel " and " Death

to all traitors. " This display brought a world-wide public outcry

that

Radio Baghdad dismissed by declaring:

" We hanged spies, but the Jews crucified Christ. " 4 In 1978, Saddam

had been working with other Arab nations to ostracize Egypt for it's

diplomatic initiative in resolving Israel/Arab questions. An ally,

President Hafez al-Assad of Syria, almost became the undoing of

Hussein's ascension. If a Syrian/Iraqi federation were formed against

Egypt, Assad, not Hussein, would rise to a position of greater power

in the relationship. President Bakr would lead the federation with

Assad as second in command. Hussein could not allow that to happen

and

began to urge the President to step down. Again with the help of his

family and security apparatus, Hussein was able to accomplish his

task. On July 16, 1979, President Bakr resigned, officially due to

health problems, but in reality a victim of Hussein's political

in-fighting. Moving quickly to consolidate his power, he called a

major Baathist meeting on July 22, 1979. During the meeting, various

family members and other Hussein devotees urged that the party be

" cleansed " . Hussein then read a list of names and asked that they

step

outside. Once there, they are taken into custody. A high-ranking

member of the Revolutionary Command, the head of the labor unions,

the

leading Shiite member of the Command, and twenty (20) others are then

systematically and personally killed by Hussein and his top party

officials. During the next few days, reports indicate that as many as

450 other military officers, deputy prime ministers, and " non-party

faithful " were rounded up and killed. This purge insured Hussein's

consolidation of power in Iraq.

In 1980, Iraq invaded Iran and conducted an eight year war against

one

of his nearest neighbors and the home of Shiite fundamentalist

Muslims. The war continued for eight years of brutality and even

repression of Hussein's own countrymen " -especially the (Sunni) Kurds

(and the Shiite Arabs)-. " 2 1941 - In April, in accordance to a 1930

treaty Iraq permits the British to move their troops into Iraq. Iraq

appeals for Nazi support and attacks the British air base at

Habbaniya. The Iraqi army is beaten and Prime Minister Rashid Ali

flees the country. Britian resumes military control. The monarchy is

restored. Saddam Hussein's uncle Khairallah is jailed and Saddam

moves

to live with his mother and step-father 1981 - On June 7th Iraq's

nuclear research reactor was destroyed by an Israeli airforce attack.

President Saddam arranges to have the philosophical writings of his

uncle Khairallah published in a treatise titled 'Three Whom God

Should

Not Have Created: Iranians, Jews and Flies. " In September the Iraqi

armed forces pull back East of the Karun river.

http://smokylake.com/Christy/history/iraq.htm (most) of the Arab

population of Iraq are Shiites who are subject to rule by a minority

government of Sunni Arabs in Baghdad. The Shiite sect has been the

subject of repeated harassment and persecution by the Iraq government

which views the sect as a pestilential emanation of the civilization

of Iran, itself viewed as the quintessential enemy of all things

Arab.

The Ministry of Education of Iraq once issued a textbook for boys'

high schools entitled Those Three Whom God Should Not Have Created:

Iranians, Jews, and Flies. Since the rise of the Baþthist Party the

Iraqi government has systematically expelled around 10% of its

population for the crime of having Iranian ancestry. Most Iraqi Jews

have long since fled to Israel.

http://www.isu.edu/~andesean/midest.htm

Kairallah was to become not only Saddam's father figure but his

political mentor as well. Kairallah had fought against Great Britain

in the Iraqi uprising of 1941 and had spent five years in prison for

his nationalist agitation. He filled the impressionable young boy's

head with tales of his heroic relatives-his great grandfather and two

great uncles-who gave their lives for the cause of Iraqi nationalism

while fighting foreign invaders. Kairallah, who was later to become

governor of Baghdad, shaped young Hussein's world view, imbuing him

with a hatred of foreigners. In 1981, Saddam republished a pamphlet

written by his uncle entitled " Three Whom God Should Not Have

Created:

Iranians, Jews, and Flies. "

17 September 1945Sharon: Israel Knows Syria Is Hiding Iraqis, Weapons

By Julie Stahl

CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief

April 15, 2003

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel knows that Syria is hiding Iraqi

officials and equipment, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a Hebrew

newspaper.

" [syrian President] Bashar Assad is dangerous. His judgment is

impaired, " Sharon was quoted as saying in excerpts published Tuesday

in the daily Yediot Aharonot .

" In the Iraq war he proved he was incapable of drawing conclusions

from very obvious facts. Anyone with eyes in his head would have

known that Iraq was going to be on the losing side. But Assad

thought the United States was going to fail, " Sharon said.

The interview broke Israel's official silence on Syria, following a

weekend threat to involve Israel in the event the United States

attacks Syria in its war on terror.

Sharon called on the United States to put " very heavy diplomatic and

economic pressure " on Syria.

He listed five demands: dismantling " palestinian terrorist

organizations " based in Damascus; ousting Iranian Revolutionary

Guards from Lebanon; ending Syrian-Iranian cooperation, including

the transfer of weapons to the so-called

" palestinian " authority and inciting Israeli Arabs; deploying the

Lebanese Army along the Lebanese-Israeli border and ridding the area

of Hizballah; and dismantling the surface-to-surface missile system

that Israel says Hizballah has installed in southern Lebanon.

Tensions have been building between Washington and Damascus during

the war in Iraq, over U.S. allegations that Syria allowed both

fighters and weapons to cross its border into Iraq to fight against

coalition troops.

But President Bush upped the ante over the weekend when he charged

that Syria had chemical weapons and warned that Damascus had better

cooperate.

" The Syrian government needs to cooperate with the United States and

our coalition partners and not harbor any Baathists, any military

officials, any people who need to be held to account for their

tenure, " Bush said.

British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said, there were " important

questions " which Damascus needed to answer, such as if it was

harboring Iraqi fugitives or developing " illegal or illegitimate

chemical or biological programs. "

Dealing with Syria

Yuval Shteinitz, head of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense

Committee, said that the global war on terrorism could not be

completed without dealing with Syria.

The way Syria is behaving " looks strange, " Shteinitz said in a

telephone interview.

On the other hand they must understand ... that they are on the list

of terror-sponsoring states and in any case it is better to play the

hero if they are the next stop in the war on terrorism, he said.

Shteinitz charged that Syria is the number one terrorist sponsoring

nation in the world, ahead of Iraq and Afghanistan....

Syria, which according to U.N. resolutions illegally occupies

Lebanon, also backs the Hizballah terrorist organization based in

south Lebanon and hosts the headquarters of at least a dozen

terrorist organizations in Damascus.

" Without dismantling Hizballah, without dismantling the terror

[organizations] in Damascus [like] Hamas and Islamic Jihad the

global war on terrorism cannot be completed, " Shteinitz said.

According to some U.S. experts, he said, Hizballah may be even more

dangerous than al Qaeda.

...... if a full-scale war were launched, Shteinitz said, Israel

would likely be attacked and would strike back.

Israel warned Syria and Hizballah prior to the war in Iraq not to

try to take advantage of the situation to attack Israel and pledged

a severe retaliation for any attacks. "

The late Carl Sagan: 1934-1996, wrote of hoped for

" methods of avoiding the self-destruction that seems so real a

danger of our present technological adolescence… " in: Knowledge is

Our Destiny, " The Dragons of Eden, p. 234

Sagan was hoping that some extra-terrestrial " advanced

civilizations " might have found those methods.

Here on earth we face the question of whether we can find them

ourselves before it is too late.

Clearly humanity possesses the means to destroy itself. Clearly

humanity lacks

the maturity to avoid destroying itself.

The question is whether the most dangerous people on earth in

possession of the

most dangerous weapons on earth can be disarmed before they can use

those

weapons, or, ideally, can be prevented from possessing those weapons

in the

first place.

Clearly we are in a race against time. Weapons of mass destruction

in the hands of lunatics constitutes a threat to the survival of our

planet. Can

the lunatics be disarmed in time? Can we prevent the lunatics from

becoming

armed with weapons of mass destruction in the first place? How much

time have we

got before it is too late and those weapons start going off in

cities in

America, Israel, Europe, Asia, Australia, etc.? Clearly not much.

The time to

act is now, before it is too late.

" Whether `tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of

outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and,

by opposing, end them? " Hamlet, William Shakespeare

Shakespeare was well aware of the dilemmas caused by lack of

decisiveness.

Indecision is in fact a decision. To avoid action is

to permit other actions to occur. Sir Edmund Burke put it this

way: " All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in this

world is for a few good men to do nothing. "

We saw the world stand by and do nothing as The Holocaust occurred.

We saw the world stand by and do nothing as Saddam Hussein paid a

bounty for Jewish scalps by paying the families of GENOCIDE BOMBERS

amounts which climbed from $10,000 to $15,000 to $25,000 and would

no doubt have continued to climb had George W. Bush not liberated

Iraq in March of 2003.

We saw Germans and looked, usually in vain, in a mostly futile

search to find the few " Good Germans " who opposed Hitler. The book

Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen explores the Germans found by Daniel

Jonah Goldhagen

Goldhagen says: " … my book shifts the focus of the investigation of

the Holocaust from where it has been—namely, on abstract structures

like the S.S., the Nazi Party, and the terror apparatus—to the human

beings who actually perpetrated the crimes. A very large number of

ordinary Germans were involved—a minimum figure of 100,000--and

until this point, you have probably read close to nothing about the

actual people who carried out the killings, manned the camps, and

guarded the ghettos. I have shifted the investigation to them, the

perpetrators, in an effort to explain their actions, uncover their

motivations, and explicate how such a thing could have happened in

an otherwise civilized country such as Germany.

I am very pleased that the publication of my book has produced

widespread, international discussion and that so many people seem to

feel compelled to come to grips with its contents. Whatever exact

conclusions people arrive at after reading my book—and some

continuing disagreements are inevitable—that the issues it raises

are being discussed so vigorously can be seen as being only a good

thing. "

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is Associate Professor of Government and

Social Studies at Harvard University and an Associate of Harvard's

Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.

Hitler's Willing Executioners is based upon his doctoral

dissertation, which was awarded the American Political Science

Association's 1994 Gabriel A. Almond Award for the best dissertation

in the field of comparative politics. "

Today we see Syria and Iran goose-stepping along with Hamas, et. al.

and wonder when someone will act to stop them before it is too late.

The traitor to Shia Islam and Persia who has assumed power through a

sham

" election " , which saw countless candidates ruled off the ballot by

fiat of the

tyranny, who calls himself the " President of Iran " may well be the

most insane

and dangerous person on earth.

Moreover that mad man is allied with Syria, with the terrorists

hosted by Syria

who are murdering Americans in Iraq, and with a worldwide gang of

terrorists who

have been murdering people all over the world for many years.

To understand the depth of the man's madness one must recognize fist

the importance to Shia Islam of the Golden Mosque in Samarra which

was bombed by Sunni Moslems more than likely led by Zarqawi and his

cohorts.

THE CONFLICT IN IRAQ; Shrine Holds Great Significance for Shiites

BYLINE: Borzou Daragahi, Times Staff Writer

The attackers who bombed the Golden Mosque in Samarra ignited fury

among Iraq's Shiite majority by targeting one of the sect's most

revered shrines.

More so than Sunni Arabs, Shiites believe in the sanctity of

shrines. Pious Shiites from Lebanon to India make pilgrimages to the

shrines of the sect's imams, and Shiite merchants bequeath their

fortunes for the restoration and upkeep of shrines. The Samarra

complex dates to the 9th century, although the famed gold dome was

completed in 1905.

The revered status of the shrines comes from their connection to the

imams, who are " part of the skeleton of the Shiite faith, " said

Yitzhak Nakash, associate professor of Middle Eastern and Islamic

Studies at Brandeis University, who has written about Shiites.

Shiites and Sunnis split early in the history of Islam, differing

over succession after the death of the prophet Muhammad in the 7th

century. The first three successors, or caliphs, were Muhammad's

associates, but Shiites rejected them, arguing that Ali, the

prophet's cousin and son-in-law, was the rightful heir.

Ali became the fourth caliph, but the conflict continued after his

death. From then on, supporters, or Shia, of Ali, took a separate

path, regarding him as their first imam and choosing successors from

among his heirs.

One of Ali's sons, Hasan, lost the struggle for caliphate and

another, Hussein, was killed. According to Shiite belief, the

caliphs were trying to wipe out Ali's line of succession by killing

off his heirs—the imams—one by one over the next few centuries.

The Samarra shrine is believed to house the remains of the ninth and

10th of Ali's heirs, Ali Hadi and Hasan Askari. Shiites believe that

both were poisoned in the 9th century by agents of the caliph.

But, many Shiites believe that Askari's young son, Mohammed Mahdi,

disappeared into a cellar near site of the shrine and was not

killed, an event called the occultation.

They regard Mahdi as the 12th or " Hidden Imam, " and believe he will

reappear, heralding a new age and avenging the wrongs done to

Shiites by Sunni governments for centuries.

" Mahdi is expected to return one day as a messiah, " Nakash said. The

shrine complex is considered a link to the Mahdi. As a result, the

attack on it " is a very significant provocation. "

" Shrine blast fans fears of civil war

Bombing of Golden Mosque in Samarra aggravates deep-rooted

hostilities between Sunnis and Shiites

Borzou Daragahi, Megan K. Stack, Los Angeles Times

Thursday, February 23, 2006

… suspicion immediately turned toward al Qaeda-affiliated militants

in Iraq, who have claimed credit for numerous bombings of Shiite

targets. Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaeda in Iraq's

leader, has a well-known hatred of Shiites, whom his brand of

extremist Sunnis view as apostates…. Shrine facts

• The Askariya shrine, one of Iraq's most sacred sites, was

built by Caliph al-Mutasim in 836.

• The golden dome was completed under Muzaffar al-Din Shah in

1905.

• It contains tombs of the 10th and 11th imams, descendants of

the prophet Muhammad.

attackers blew up the golden dome of the Askariya shrine in Samarra.

The bombing triggered more than 90 reprisal attacks on Sunni

mosques.

In Washington, a senior US official said the al-Qaida was suspected

of being behind the attack on the Shia shrine.

" We believe this can be traced back to the Zarqawi al-Qaida

movement, " said the State Department's coordinator for Iraq policy,

Ambassador James Jeffrey, on Wednesday adding the United States

would do all it could to track down the perpetrators.

Asked what evidence the US had to link the attack to al-Qaida,

Jeffrey said Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida leader in Iraq, had

often called for attacks on Shia targets and said they were aimed at

sparking civil war.

" We are trying to connect the dots, " he told reporters at the State

Department. " We certainly think it would be in line with what they

have been saying and doing. "

" President Ahmadinejad: Samarra bombing sign of failure of enemies

of Islam

Shahr-e Kord, Charmahal Bakhtiari Prov, Feb 23rd 2006, IRNA

Iran-President-Speech

The terrorist bombing of the holy shrines of Imam Hadi (AS) and Imam

Hassan Asgari (AS) in Iraq is indicative of the abject failure of

the enemies of Islam, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in this

western city on Wednesday evening.

Addressing a large number of local officials and scholars upon his

arrival in the city, the president strongly condemned the shameless

and heinous terrorist act, saying it has its roots in the weakness

and failure of the enemies of Islam.

" Those who have seen defeat from the wisdom of Islam express their

anger through savage acts such as by insulting Muslim sanctities, "

Ahmadinejad pointed out.

He said that history has proven that all who have profaned religious

sanctities and the divine messengers of God have endured eternal

misery.

" A number of uncivilized and bloodthirsty people who have no regard

for humanity think they can undermine the good intentions of Muslims

and revolutionary people through such acts, " the president lashed

out.

He warned the enemies of Islam to be careful when committing such

acts as the Islamic ummah (nations) " will encounter them more

seriously and with determination now than ever before with their

determination to achieve their longstanding revolutionary

aspirations, " the president stressed.

Noting that there was a clear sign of the hegemonic system beginning

to fade away, Ahmadinejad expressed hope that Muslims of the world

would soon witness the complete collapse of hegemony.

" Justice will be implemented all over the world in the near future, "

Ahmadinejad assured. " source:

So-called " Iran " has long been

in the hands

of lunatics who are traitors to Persia and Shia Islam and have been

in bed with

the enemies of both.

" How Iran got its name

March 16, 2006 (c.e.)

WorldNetDaily.com

If you didn't think Iran could plunge any lower as a nation-state,

you were

wrong.

Iran's semi-official, best-selling newspaper, Hamshahri, actually

published by

the city government of Tehran, is running a contest for the best

cartoons poking

fun at the Holocaust.

While this may be shocking to some, it is actually what we should

expect from

the mad mullahs of Iran.

This is not, as the newspaper editors have suggested, merely a way

for Iranians

to protest the Danish cartoons about Muhammad. This is not just a

way for the

Iranians and the radical Islamic world to attempt to portray

themselves as

victims. This is not just a tit-for-tat exercise.

This is a reflection of the Iranian mullahs' Nazi sympathies. This

is a way for

them to show the entire Islamic world that they still believe in

Hitler's " final

solution. " This is just the latest manifestation of 70 years of anti-

Jewish

history in Iran – and a lot longer in the Islamic world.

In fact, do you know how the nation of Iran got its name?

For thousands of years, the country we now know as Iran was known as

Persia.

But in 1935, the shah of Iran, the father of the man deposed in

1979, was a Nazi

sympathizer. He hated the Jews. So he decided to show his true

stripes by

renaming his country Iran, which literally means " land of the

Aryans. "

Later, that same shah welcomed Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini, the

exiled grand

mufti of Jerusalem, into the country. The mufti was on the run

because of his

pro-Nazi work and his efforts in attempting to bring the Jewish

Holocaust to the

Middle East. Al-Husseini would later go on to inspire and tutor

Yasser Arafat in

the art of Jew-killing. Arafat referred to al-Husseini as " uncle. "

The Nazi shah may have received good notices from Berlin, but London

was none

too thrilled with his pro-Nazi position. And, unfortunately for him

and

fortunately for the rest of the world, Hitler did not conquer the

world. The

shah was deposed by the British and replaced with his son.

But the name " Iran " stuck. And it illustrates the visceral,

underlying

anti-Semitism that has shown itself throughout history in the

Islamic world. "

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49284

The spectre of the mad man Ahmadinejad in possession of nuclear

weapons possibly

before the end of this year, if not sooner, is a horrible prospect,

and one

which must be dealt with sooner, rather than later.

" Ahmadinejad: Wipe Israel off map

Wednesday 26 October 2005, 19:03 Makka Time, 16:03 GMT Iranian

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has openly called for Israel to be

wiped off the map.

" The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world

oppressor against the Islamic world, " the president told a

conference in Tehran on Wednesday, entitled The World without

Zionism.

" The skirmishes in the occupied land are part of a war of destiny.

The outcome of hundreds of years of war will be defined in

Palestinian land, " he said.

" As the Imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map, " said

Ahmadinejad, referring to Iran's revolutionary leader Ayat Allah

Khomeini.

His comments were the first time in years that such a high-ranking

Iranian official has called for Israel's eradication, even though

such slogans are still regularly used at government

rallies.

Call for unity

Addressing about 4000 students gathered in an Interior Ministry

conference hall, Ahmadinejad also called for Palestinian unity,

resistance and a point " where the annihilation of the Zionist regime

will come " .

" The Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy to

live in its heartland, " he said in the fiery speech that centred on

a " historic war between the oppressor and the world of Islam " . The

term " oppressor " is used by the clerical government to refer to the

United States.

" We should not settle for a piece of land, " he said of Israel's

pullout from the Gaza Strip.

" Anyone who signs a treaty which recognises the entity of Israel

means he has signed the surrender of the Muslim world, " Ahmadinejad

said.

" Any leaders in the Islamic umma who recognise Israel face the wrath

of their own people. " Ahmadinejad … spoke of a " historic war " .

" It dates backs hundreds of years. Sometimes Islam has advanced.

Sometimes nobody was winning. Unfortunately over the past 300 years,

the world of Islam has been in retreat, " he lamented. " One hundred

years ago the last trench of Islam fell, when the oppressors went

towards the creation the Zionist regime. It is using it as a fort to

spread its aims in the heart of the Islamic world. " Ahmadinejad

said, " There is no doubt that the new wave (of attacks) in Palestine

will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot (Israel) from the face of

the Islamic world. "

" Ahmadinejad has clearly declared the doctrine of his government. He

is returning Iran to the revolutionary goals it was pursuing in the

1980s, " said Mohammad Sadeq Hosseini, an expert on Middle Eastern

affairs.

" By these comments, Ahmadinejad is committing himself to those

goals. He is also sending the message that his government won't back

down. "

Israeli response

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev " (said) " Today,

Israelis heard two extremists speak openly about destroying the

Jewish state. One was the new president of Iran, and the

other was the leader of Hamas, Mahmoud Zahar. " And it appears the

problem with these extremists is that they followed through on their

violent declarations with violent actions. "

The United States said Ahmadinejad's remarks proved the accuracy of

Washington's fears about Iran's contentious nuclear programme.

" I think it reconfirms what we have been saying about the regime in

Iran. It underscores the concerns we have about Iran's nuclear

intentions, " White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. "

Captain of Seized Arms Ship Says Was Sent by PA Official

The jailed captain of the captured Karine A weapon-loaded ship

declared today that a Palestinian Authority official in Greece sent

him to bring the ship through the Red Sea to PA-controlled shores.

On January 3, the Israeli Navy seized control over the Karine A ship

that was sailing in international waters on its way to the Suez

Canal. The shipment included both 122 mm. and 107 mm. Katyusha

rockets, which have ranges of 20 and 8 kilometers respectively. It

also contained 80 mm. and 120 mm. mortar shells, various types of

anti-tank missiles, anti-tank mines, sniper rifles, Kalashnikov

rifles and ammunition.

(from Ha'aretz and the Israeli Foreign Ministry)

PM Sharon: PA Is Central Part of International Terror Network

Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at a press conference Sunday in

Eilat: " This ship of terror, which was on its way to the Gaza shore,

was carrying what was to threaten each and every one of us - in Tel-

Aviv as in Emmanuel, in Haifa as in Ariel, in Herzlia and Ashkelon

as in Elei-Sinai and Netzarim. The type and character of the weapons

and ammunition discovered on the ship prove once again that the

Palestinian Authority has been focusing all its efforts on terrorism

and preparing the operational infrastructure for the next waves of

terror. Let there be no mistake - this is the choice made by the

Chairman of the Palestinian Authority...

....At the same time as Arafat was saying " my aim is to achieve

peace, " he was sending the one responsible for military acquisitions

in the Palestinian Authority to purchase ammunition in Iran. As he

was declaring a cease-fire, he sent his Chief of Naval Police to

purchase a ship in Lebanon. When he announced that he would be

willing to accept the " Hudna " initiative, he was already monitoring

the journey of this ship toward the Gaza port in the hope of

succeeding in smuggling this Trojan horse by sea. The Palestinian

Authority is a major player in the network of international

terrorism, spearheaded by Iran and aimed at sowing death and

destruction throughout the entire world. " (from the Israeli Foreign

Ministry)

Editorial: Arafat's Ship of Death

Excerpt from the Jerusalem Post: " If ever there was a photo-

opportunity demonstrating what is behind the hand that Yasser Arafat

sometimes stretches out in peace, the wharf full of captured

weaponry displayed last night was it. The captured ship, the Karine-

A, was reportedly purchased in October 2000 - just months after the

end of the Camp David summit and at the same time Arafat was

pledging his first cease-fire to Ehud Barak, Bill Clinton, Hosni

Mubarak, and Kofi Annan at the Sharm e-Sheikh summit. Every time one

thinks that Arafat's duplicity cannot be more apparent, he manages

to reach new heights... "

Seizing of the Palestinian weapons ship Karine A - Jan 4- 2002

4 Jan 2002

A ship carrying weapons intended for the Palestinian Authority was

captured in the Red Sea by Israel's Navy and Air Force. The boat's

cargo included 50 tons of advanced weaponry including Katyusha

rockets, rifles, mortar shells, mines and a variety of anti-tank

missiles. Senior figures in the Palestinian Authority were involved

in the smuggling.

Communicated by the IDF Spokesman:

On January 3rd, the Israeli Navy seized control over the Karine A

ship that was sailing in international waters on its way to the Suez

Canal.

The shipment included both 122 mm. and 107 mm. Katyusha rockets,

which have ranges of 20 and 8 kilometers respectively. It also

contained 80 mm. and 120 mm. mortar shells, various types of anti-

tank missiles, anti-tank mines, sniper rifles, Kalashnikov rifles

and ammunition. From Gaza, the 122 mm. Katyushas could have

threatened Ashkelon and other coastal cities; while from the West

Bank, Ben-Gurion International Airport and several major Israeli

cities would have been within their range. The shipment also

included rubber boats and diving equipment, which would have

facilitated seaborne attacks from Gaza against coastal cities.

Preliminary investigation of the crew members has revealed so far

that the commanding officer of the ship is Colonel Omar Akawi. The

ship was purchased by the Palestinian Authority, loaded with weapons

by the Iranians and the Hizbullah, manned by Palestinian Authority

personnel, with the aim of transfering the weapons it carried to the

Palestinian Naval Police near the Gaza beaches.

Since October 2000, Adel Mughrabi, a major buyer in the Palestinian

weapons purchasing system (with the assistance of the Palestinian

Naval Police Commander Juma'a Ghali and his executive Fathi Ghazem),

has been in contact with the Iranians and Hizbullah regarding a vast

weapons smuggling operation for the use of the Palestinian

Authority. This operation included the testing and purchase of

ships, forming a sailing crew and appointing a commander for the

team, as well as making arrangements as to how the weapons would be

stored, loaded onto the vessels, and its journey until delivery to

the Palestinian Authority.

Preliminary investigation of the team members arrested revealed that

the Karine A ship was purchased by Adel Mughrabi in Lebanon, sailed

to Sudan where it was loaded with regular cargo. The crew was then

switched with the team members and in November 2001 sailed to

Hodeida port in Yemen.

In December 2001 the ship sailed according to detailed instructions

from Adel Mughrabi to the beaches of Iran near Qeshm Island. There a

ferry approached it, most likely arriving from Iran, from which the

weapons stored in 80 large wooden crates were transferred and loaded

onto the ship. These weapons were stored in special waterproof

containers produced only in Iran, which are floatable and are set

with a special configurable system that determines how deep they are

submerged, were prepared by Hizbullah personnel for smuggling to the

Palestinian Authority. Included in the ferry team which transferred

the weapons crates to the ship was also a Lebanese trainer, a

Hizbullah operative who trained a diver from the ship's crew in

configuring the floatation devices in Lebanon. The trainer was

present for yet another refreshing training session prior to the

sailing.

After completing the loading process of the weapons onto the ship,

the ship had to divert to Hodeida port in Yemen due to technical

problems. After crossing the canal, the ship was supposed to meet

with three smaller ships that were purchased in advance and to

unload the weapons onto them. According to the plan, the smaller

ships were to leave the weapons near El Arish in Gaza, where the

weapons were to be taken by the commander of the Palestinian Naval

Police Juma'a Ghali and his executive Fathi Ghazem. "

CIA " Concerned " about Syrian Nuclear Plans - US Renews Calls on

Lebanon to Disarm Hizbullah

The CIA yesterday presented an annual report to the U.S. Senate in

which the American intelligence agency said it " remains concerned

about Syria's intentions regarding nuclear weapons. "

The report, published as a declassified summary, says that " Syria

maintains a ballistic missile and rocket force of hundreds of FROG

rockets, Scuds, and SS-21 SRBMs. With considerable foreign

assistance, Syria progressed to Scud production using primarily

locally manufactured parts. Syrian regional concerns may lead

Damascus to seek a longer range ballistic missile capability such as

North Korea's No Dong medium range ballistic missile. " (from

Ha'aretz)

In an interview with the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation last

night, US National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice renewed its

call for Lebanon to crack down on Hizbullah. " We believe that the

Lebanese government should do with Hizbullah what the United States

and other governments are doing with other terrorist organizations:

freezing assets, not allowing them to operate freely, not allowing

them to run arms freely, not allowing their territory to be used as

sanctuary, " Rice said. The Lebanese government has refused to freeze

Hizbullah's assets, despite its announced support for the US

campaign against terrorism. (from the JPost) "

" Abrams tanks have been knocked out near An Najaf,(Iraq), by the

AT14 " Kornet, "

a new Russian-built, solider-carried anti-tank rocket somewhat

similar to the

new U.S. " Javelin " weapon. Kornets are laser-guided for accuracy and

employ an

advanced kinetic penetrator (extreme speed, not explosive power, is

the key

feature) to break through the layered, " composite " armor used by the

Abrams and

other advanced tanks.And the key connection

Because the Kornet was first fielded in 1994, obviously Iraq

obtained it in

violation of the U.N. embargo. A large shipment of Kornets was sold

by Russia to

Syria in 1998, so peace-loving Syria may be the violator. A few

Kornets were

also aboard the Karine A, the weapons ship intercepted on its way to

(arafat) "

Evidence is emerging which supports long-held contentions that

Russia violated

the arms sanctions placed against the Saddam Hussein regime

following the end of

the first Gulf war. Illegal arms supplies, which once found their

way to

Saddam's military, may well flow to guerrilla forces displeased with

the

prospect of a U.S. military administration in post-Saddam Iraq.

Moscow's persistent denial of arms sales to Saddam is becoming

increasingly

unbelievable following the destruction of two advanced U.S. Abrams

M1 tanks by

Russian-made " Kornet " missiles.

The Kornet is a portable missile capable of being laser-guided, and

has a range

of over three miles. Iraq is believed to have purchased some 1500 of

the

weapons, according to a recent report by Radio Free Europe/Radio

Liberty.

The exact route the Kornets took to Iraq is unknown, but many

speculate that

friends of Russia, including Belarus, Ukraine, or Syria acted as

middlemen.

Russia is also believed to have sold night-vision equipment and " GPS-

Jammer "

devices to Saddam's military.

The Russian GPS-Jammers may be responsible for some of the civilian

casualties

in the Iraq conflict. Because the GPS-Jammers can interfere with the

remote

guidance of U.S. missiles, it is possible that a missile could be

deflected from

its intended target and mistakenly hit a civilian location.

Although the U.S. has methods to counter the Jammers, the use of the

Jammers

could still result in a missile going up to 50 feet off target, and

possibly

cause unintended damage, Der Spiegel reported.

Moscow's influence in Iraq may not come to an end with the

destruction of

Saddam's dictatorship. Forces hostile to a U.S. military

administration in Iraq

will be searching for friends and sources for military hardware. "

Frankly we would love it if Russia and America could become allies

in the war against arab and other Islamic terrorists.
