The Reoccurring Jewish Nightmare-Hezbollah
New concerns are arising for the Israeli military. Recently, Hezbollah fighters from a war scarred Syria having been showing up in Lebanon. Not only are Israeli-Lebanon relations at ends, but the addition of the Hezbollah is completely breaking relations down. Israel and Lebanon have already gone down this path before. In 2006 Hezbollah captured two Israel soldiers on the border and a month long war with a 1000+ body count followed. Even after such a recent fight, the Israeli's are willing to head down this chaotic path because of fears towards a Hezbollah weapon supremacy over Israel. Mr. Assad, a known Hezbollah supporter might have given sophisticated weapons to the group. Because of this support, the Israeli's want to be prepared for what they think is an inevitable war
"Afghanistan, Our favorite Fire to fuel With Money"
The United States has been "withdrawing" from Afghanistan for some time now. Since its been giving the ultimatum to leave by the end of 2014, they seem to be in a dilemma. For one, the current President of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzi, has refused to sign the bill that would allow US forces to leave. Since presidential elections are in April the US presence would not be leaving until about mid may. In a 2013 article, the pentagon released an article that stated the military units in Afghanistan could leave in a minimum of 102 days. That means that the latest the US can stay is September 20th. Not only is time running out to leave, but the equipment that is left in the country needs to be taken care of. troop carriers and other sensitive equipment costs tens of thousands of dollars to destroy correctly and the possibility of giving them to the locals is improbable. In short, we are not leaving anytime soon. Thanks to everyone's friendly policing state!
