Here it comes...

I was wondering how the US was going to get involved in the war between Israel and Hizbullah/Labanon and finally someone writes about it.

Urgent Warning: CNN prepares Israeli false flag war provocation vs. Americans in Lebanon

CNN and MSNBC coverage this Saturday morning has been stressing the situation of the 25,000 Americans now stuck in Lebanon. These Americans are being invited to register with the US consulates for possible evacuation. The State Department and the US military have been remarkably slow to begin such an evacuation.

One possible provocation scenario to bring the US into the war is that a helicopter carrying US citizens being evacuated out of Lebanon is hit by a missile and destroyed, killing all on board. The missile might be fired by the Israelis or by their allies among the fascist Lebanese Phalangists. The Israelis would announce that the helicopter had been destroyed by Hezbollah, opening the way for a hysterical campaign by Fox News and the rest of the neocon mass brainwashing apparatus to secure an early US attack on Syria and Iran.

That's entierly plausible.

I really hope something like this doesn't happen. I also hope that this war ends quickly and doesn't spill over into some World War the way Fox News, et al. have been peeing their pants hoping it wil happen.

Also, when I saw that Israel had set up a naval blockade and had artillery and rockets set up in strategic positions, I thought that this was all pre-planned. But, alas, maybe the Israelis are always in a state of alert and certain maneuvers are so well-planned and almost in place that it doesn't take them very long to mobilize if, say two of their soldiers that provocatively cross the border are captured.

This whole thing seems mapped out from the beginning and it sure looks like it was meant to start a regional war and draw many parties into it. I don't think Syria or Iran or Egypt are in the mood for full scale war, but I doubt they'd just back down once provoked. If this thing does escalate, FSM help us all.

We can't even keep our colonies in line. How can we possibly believe that we can take over the whole Middle East?
