Iran Plotting to Destroy Israel in 2009
Foreign Confidential....
Concerned about the current conflict over Gaza?
You should be, because the fighting, which Iran instigated by egging on its missile-mad, Palestinian proxy, Hamas, is merely a warmup act ahead of the main conflagration.
Intelligence experts say Iran has developed a secret plan to destroy Israel, drive the United States from this Middle East, and drive up oil prices--to over $150 a barrel--in 2009.
According to these sources, the plan calls for massive missile bombardment of Israeli cities and towns by Iran's Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah--under protection of an Iranian nuclear shield.
That's right: an Iranian nuclear shield. A major breakthrough in Iran's nuclear program is expected within 60 days.
The Islamist regime will actually acquire atomic arms before the end of March, according to the experts.
Iranian missiles will be equipped with nuclear warheads.
The weapons will embolden Iran to attack U.S. targets in the Middle East and threaten Israel with incineration.
Hamas will be ordered to commence an all-out, do-or-die offensive against Israel.
Radicalized--i.e. Islamized--elements among Israel's Arab citizenry will be ordered to rise up and launch suicidal acts of terror.
The Iranian plan--personally approved by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad--is to destroy Israel from within and without. The apocalyptic Ahmadinejad has repeatedly vowed to annihilate the Jewish state. He intends to keep his word.
Understandably preoccupied with the global economic meltdown, the world is in denial about the Iranian/Islamist threat.
Not since the 1930s, has the world been in such dangerous straits. The Cold War was a joke compared to what is coming.

Prices also were supported by indications that key OPEC members were acting on commitments to cut back production, in line with a decision earlier this month to take a daily 2.2 million barrels off the market.
