The Sum of All Fears is Upon Us

Iran's Ahmadinejad Meets Hamas Leaders in Damascus

Speaking to Hamas leaders in Damascus on Friday, Iranian President Ahmadinejad said that the Middle East conflict has become "the focus of the final war" between Muslims and the West, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported.

During his visit to Syria, Ahmadinejad told Hamas leaders, who included Khalid Mashal, the head of the group's political bureau, "Today, victory in Palestine has become a matter of life and death for the Islamic world."

Ahmadinejad is not primarily motivated, as many commentators claim, by improvement of Iran's economic and political interests. He is also not driven by a personal mental health disorder. Along with many millions of Muslims, he wants all infidels killed or vanquished, beginning with the Jews. Ex-terrorists have risked their lives to bring us this warning.

Iran's preparations for a nuclear strike on Israel through its terrorist proxies are well documented, but no one has explained why Iran is now openly trumpeting its intentions. This is to prepare the Muslim world for the inevitable death of millions of Arabs and the ensuing economic hardships. Great majorities of Palestinian children have already been brainwashed that giving up their lives for the death of Jews is the highest virtue. Enormous efforts have been made after every suicide bombing for to honor the murderer in public in order to habituate the Muslim world to its value. Additionally it has had the side effect of lulling the West into believing that suicide attacks are militarily irrelevant.

Hamas, as I predicted prior to the withdrawal from Gaza, is now ruling on Israel's doorstep and therefore has the ability to deliver Iran's nuclear and conventional gifts, through terrorism. Terrorist, as opposed to conventional military attacks on Israel, have never been met with a significant response. To this day, missiles rain down on Israel daily and the response is usually attacks on empty fields and buildings which almost never cause casualties.

Iran knows that anti-Israel terror has been the loophole in the Bush doctrine of war on terror-supporting governments. Iran has passed 10,000 missiles, for example, to the Hezbollah terror group on Israel's northern border without consequence.

Additionally Iran has never received significant punishment for its regular covert attacks on Americans.

The reason I have documented the confirmation of my predictions is to gain credibility for moments like this, which is still probably not too late to stop.
