    Default Iran's August 22nd Surprise?

    Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s announcement that his country would respond on August 22 to Western demands regarding Iran’s nuclear program has worried observers asking: Why that date?

    Some of the speculation is troubling.

    A report that appears on the Web site Zionist.com and a number of blogs speculate:

    “Ahmadinejad is a strong believer in the Shiite tradition of a 12th imam, the so-called ‘hidden’ Imam Mahdi who Allah has miraculously kept alive since his disappearance in 874 A.D. As the story goes, Imam Mahdi will return at a time of great global chaos, oppression and bloodshed to usher in an era of (Islamic) justice.

    “Ahmadinejad sees himself as Allah’s instrument to pave the way for Imam Mahdi.”

    The report notes that August 22 of this year corresponds with the Islamic date of Rajab 28, the day Muslim warrior Saladin conquered Jerusalem from the Crusaders.

    “Taken in conjunction with Ahmadinejad’s stated desire to see Israel destroyed, it hardly seems a coincidence,” the report states, speculating that Ahmadinejad could attempt to bring about Imam Mahdi’s return by attacking Israel.

    The Web site freerepublic.com has a different take on the Iranian deadline, saying that August 22 corresponds to a date on the Muslim calendar called Lailat Al Israa, “when Muhammad ascended to heaven from the Al Aqsa mosque to receive the five daily prayers. Later, Al Aqsa came to represent Jerusalem.

    “The Muslim commemoration is meant to be a night of struggle, accompanied by thunder and lightning … Ahmadinejad could be hinting to the West that he is preparing a major attack on Israel.”

    Then again, the date could have been chosen simply because it corresponds with the last day of the Iranian month of Mordad.

    Dear Whomever will listen;

    Adding to my prior message. When President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad states that there was no Holocaust he is not denying the persecution of the Jews by the Germans. He is stating that the traditional Jewish prophecy which describes the holocaust has not been fulfilled in his and the fanatical Islamic eyes. They have plans to visit their own Holocaust on Israel. It is possible that Iran already has nuclear missile weapons and they are in the process of mating them to their medium range missiles to be launched from the North of Iran on mobile launchers. The so called uranium enrichment crisis is a diversionary ploy.

    The Iranian cells in Iraq have already been activated. They are designed to cause the fall of the fledgling Iraqi democracy.

    Launched from Iran, the nuclear tipped missiles will fly over Syria with the intent to annihilate the Israelis who have been herded from their cities by the Katyushas from the North and West Gaza into an exposed position in the Valley of Megiddo as described in the holy scriptures. Many will not have access to bomb shelters. Iran’s leader continually refers to the jihad as if it were part of the Crusades. According to the Urantia text Christ was born on August 22 the day Ahmadinejad has told the west he will give his answer to the Wests demands that he stop enriching uranium.

    Korea is a subterfuge to tie up our Aegis systems and refocus our attention. Hezbollah in Lebanon is protected somewhat by the extensive cave systems they have prepared to avoid harm from the blasts in Israel.

    If the missile flies from N. Iraq into Syria and then Israel it will be hard to detect and even more difficult to intercept. Perhaps they will be using the same technology they used in the Silkworm which jammed the radar of the highest tech Israeli warship. After the strike Iran could attempt to blackmail the US into leaving Iraq by threatening to hit Saudi Arabia next. Game over.

    Patriots need to be stationed in Northern Iraq near the Syrian bordered an area where US & Iraqi forces have been denied. Aegis need to be redeployed off Syria near Turkey and in the North Persian Gulf. Patriots need to be redeployed in Israel to stop a potential missile from coming over Syria or Lebanon. If the countermeasures we have to detect the missiles have been defeated. Syria needs to be attacked immediately and drawn into the war and Iran as well. To justify a preemptive strike by the US and allies. A nuclear strike force needs to be position with in 20 minutes of Tehran.

    Armenia and Iran have been cooperating with Iran for a number of years. At the Engineering University and Yerevan State Universities in Armenia, Iranian students, perhaps as many as 2,000, are obtaining degrees in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other technical disciplines. Iranian scientists frequently participate in conferences and scientific exchange programs. Armenian scientists who have attended the Joint Nuclear Research Institute in Dubna, Russia, have also visited various research centers in Iran, including those in Karaj, Isfahan, and Tehran.

    In addition to sending students to Russia, Iran has had recruitment programs in Russia. In October 1992, the Washington Post reported that Iran was attempting to recruit unemployed Russian nuclear scientists. From 1991 to 1992, 14 Russian scientists went to work in Iran. Six ended up at the Karaj nuclear site, and others are engaged in research at the Gorgan nuclear facility. When the news media reported that Iran had offered up to $20,000 per month for former Soviet scientists to work on its nuclear program, Iran's foreign minister dismissed the claim as baseless.

    August 22, is the Armenian date for the Birth of Christ. This is a Crusade Jihad.

    Crazy maybe, I hope I am.

    Pretty weak case here. But if freerepublic.com was involved, that's not too surprising. I'd say the Bible Code books have a better chance of being correct.

    Unfortunately the Bible Code said that a nuclear holocaust was possible in 2006. But if that's the case, the Iranians have no such weapons and couldn't possibly have them for at least 10 years by the last reliable estimate.

    Aww, man. August 22nd? Can't they change it? That's when my last softball game of the season is.

    Why don't we start giving them dates to ponder over?
    Between October 10th and 13th the Middle East will be in for a rude awakening.

    Just guessing here, but if Iran launches ANYTHING on the 22nd Tehran will be leveled within minutes.

    Jeez why can't we just blow up the middle east and be done with it? Well after first evacuating the civilians of course.

    I know, but I'm just thinking out loud here. My daughter's b-day is on 08/24. Man the world is gettin scary.

    Wonder if this Mahdi has anything to do with Mabus?

    In all honesty, that's probably what they're saying about us, right about now.

    Two things people need to understand about this situation is:

    1. We are constantly being reminded that Islam is a peaceful religion.
    It is stated in the Koran that peace will be achieved once all the infidels are exterminated.

    2. There is no dishonor in lying to an infidel.

    Now, who wants to negotiate with them?

    I'm thinking cake, they're making a huge cake that says "We're really sorry" in mint icing across the top.

    Then they're going to annouce that Iran is now open 24 hours and that they've got Coors-24 packs on sale for $6 and please ask about their micro-wave burritos.

    Maybe they're going to say that they've bought all of the Nintendo Wii's for the next five years and if American kids want them they're going to have to convert to Islam.

    Maybe their President is really DB Cooper.

    I know! The country is closing and EVERYTHING HAS TO GO!!
