It is not a surprise that Hezbollah decided to start this war by violating Israel’s international border, killing 8 Israeli soldiers and kidnapping 2 more, the same week that the Security Council was due to meet and discuss the possibility of sanctions against Iran...
Clearly, HEZBOLLAH was used as a distraction in a moment in history where TIME is of the essence for IRAN. Every day
that goes by they are closer to having a nuclear weapon.
What really surprises me though is that the media has not yet been covering a name that is even more dangerous than the popular Osama bin Laden: IMAD MUGHNIYAH.
Mughniyah is the commander of HEZBOLLAH’S ELITE UNIT - one that employs “James Bond” type, highly trained, terrorists ready to deploy anywhere in the world and carry out attacks like the ones in Argentina a few years ago...
MY GUESS IS THAT when the next round of media attention focuses on IRAN again...and we reach a dead end in the negotiation on the nuclear issue... MUGHNIYAH’s forces will be deployed and then...we will be in trouble. Especially here in the U.S.
Call it Iran’s “secret weapon” for buying that little extra time it needs.
