"...Not a very cheery thought but something that I consider to be at least 50:50 at present. From the look of Operation Juniper-Bobra the US military and Israel look to be taking precautions.
2. There have been endless reports of weapons build-ups in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip for Hezbollah and Hamas. Debka and Israel Matzav have more.
3. Very disturbing but less to do with the imminent conflict is Turkey's actions over the last year, and especially the last few months...They are now openly facilitation the transfer of munitions from Iran to Syria, which simplifies and speeds up the process of arming Hezbollah and Hamas.
...
Iran needs to cause a "look at the shiny thing" moment near the the new year and Hezbollah and Hamas are now armed to the teeth and ready to comply with their master's orders. Plus, Hamas would like nothing more that to get a chance to take a whack at Israel for Cast Lead and disrupt the scheduled Palestinian elections. All this adds up to a significant incident in the early part of January that engulfs the region in a sh!t storm, IMO. This includes minimally two fronts and possibly a third minor front out of the West Bank. Or maybe I'm wrong, I hope I am...we'll see in about 2 months.
If it goes down, anybody want to take a guess at Ofumble's reaction? I'm guessing something similar to a deer in the headlights, at best, provide aid to Syria, at worst."
Wishing Everyone a Happy Christmas
