HAARETZ:
The passage of two Iranian naval vessels through the Suez Canal has been delayed by 48 hours, a canal official said on Sunday.(CORROBORATED HERE.)
HMMMMMMM...
I WONDER WHY THE DELAY? WHAT'S NOT YET IN PLACE? WAS THIS A DELAY REQUESTED BY IRAN? BY EGYPT? THE USA? HAMAS? HIZBALLAH?
THIS MEANS THEY WILL PASS THROUGH THE CANAL ON WEDNESDAY, 2/23/11.
WHY RISK THIS VERY PROVOCATIVE MOVE, (WHAT'S CALLED A GAMBIT IN CHESS)?
WHAT CAN THEY GAIN FROM A PROVOCATIVE TRANSIT THROUGH THE CANAL?
I THINK THEY WANT TO BE A MEDITERRANEAN POWER AND HAVE A DIRECT ROLE IN THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT THEY WILL TRY TO DOCK IN GAZA ON THURSDAY - AND WHEN TURNED BACK, USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO MOUNT A MINOR ATTACK, USE THE INEVITABLE ISRAELI COUNTER-ATTACK AS AN INCITING INCIDENT WITH WHICH TO START A NEW ARAB-ISRAELI WAR AND FOMENT AN UPRISING ON FRIDAY WITHIN ARAB LANDS AND ANOTHER INTIFADA WITHIN ISRAEL.
STAY TUNED...
IMO the Iranians are making this up as they go along--if things heat up with the anti-Mullah demos in Teheran they may try to start a conflict with Israel. They're playing with matches.

ReplyDeleteFeb 23 = 20th of Rabi' al-awwal on the Islamic calendar. This passage could mark or prepare to mark a specific anniversary coordinated during the Friday Khutbah.
Some events marked during Rabi al-awwal:
The Hijra (migration) took place in this month
Eid-e-Zahra (a.k.a. Eid e shuja), a celebration of Shi‘ah Muslims
Marriage of Muhammad to Khadijah bint Khuwaylid
Building of the Quba Mosque (1st mosque in Islam)
