The Syrian military is making significant gains against the Rebels. These successes are in large part thanks to unending and, nothing less than, massive re-supply and support from Russia and Iran. These successes are equally attributable to the thousands of Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbollah troops fighting alongside their Syrian military comrades.

Syrian President Assad may have issued standing orders that his missile batteries immediately launch against Israel should there be another Israeli attack against targets inside Syria. Israel has attacked and destroyed advanced weaponry located in Syria, about to be transported to Hezbollah in Lebanon, three times this year. Russia has promised to rush its most advanced anti-aircraft missile system to Syria in an effort to stop the Israeli fighter aircraft. Thus far, the attacking Israeli aircraft have only been discovered when the missiles they fired hit their targets and the planes were already on the way back to their bases.

Syria and Iran are going to go BOOM. It is just a matter of time. The fuse is lit and it is short.

Back in the summer of 2000 there were "signs" all around for those who knew how to use their eyes and how to interpret what they were seeing. The Police were genuinely "stressed." Then, the Palestinian Intifada that would last for five year and take more than 1,000 innocent Israeli lives, arrived on-scene with a burst of rifle fire. The past few weeks have been full of those same "signs" and "stresses." It feels as if I've journeyed back in time.
