Diversion

Iran is under the gun on the issue of nuclear weapons development. An offer is made by the US and EU to resolve the issue. Iran stalls. Suddenly, violence flares up in Gaza and Lebanon as Iranian-backed terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbullah strike across the border into Israel igniting a violent war that occupies the front page of every major newspaper. Iran’s stalling on the nuclear weapons issue has forced the issue to the UN Security Council where sanctions may be imposed - but is off the media radar and has become a secondary priority for world leaders due to the conflict in Lebanon.

Coincidence? Get real. If this is a coincidence, I’ll eat my hat. The Iranians are playing the media PR game with a little sleight of hand that David Copperfield would be proud of. The key to magic is to divert attention and Ahmawhackjob and the Mad Mullahs are making the Iranian nuclear weapons issue disappear right before your eyes. Unfortunately, the next part of the Iranian Magic Show involves making Israel disappear ...

Hezbollah Attacks A Diversion From Iran Nuclear Issue?

Tel Aviv (MIDDLE EAST NEWS) - Prime Minister Ehud Olmert believes Hezbollah coordinated its rocket attacks on Israel with Iran in an effort to divert from Iranian nuclear ambitions, media reported Tuesday.

‘The timing of the attack across the northern border was no coincidence and was coordinated with Iran to divert international attention from the issue of the Iranian nuclear programme,’ Olmert was quoted as telling a gathering of Israeli diplomats.

The prime minister Tuesday made an unannounced visit to the northern coastal city of Haifa, which has been hit repeatedly by Hezbollah rockets since cross-border fighting broke out last week.

Israel will continue its military offensive against Lebanon until the Lebanon-based Shiite militant group frees two Israeli soldiers it abducted last week, Olmert was reported as telling local politicians.

‘I will ensure that Israeli citizens are no longer targeted by rockets,’ he was quoted as saying.

Hezbollah’s abduction of the two soldiers sparked the Israeli bombing of Lebanon, which Israel has said is aimed at forcing the Lebanese government to take control of the southern part of the country bordering Israel where Hezbollah holds sway.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
