By The Banks of the Litani: Spies and Lies, and Related Bonus: Iranian Plutonium for Al-Qaida?

Something is going on in Lebanon. Reports are coming out that a number of suspected Israeli spies have been arrested. The Lebanese Telecommunications Minister, Gibran Bassil, made the accusation this past Tuesday that Israel was garbling cellular communications in Lebanon.

The cellular network in Lebanon is considered to be incapable of supporting all of Lebanon's users. It's not a stretch to assume that, considering this occurred around the elections in Lebanon that traffic was up and the network couldn't sustain it.

Bassil mentioned that he made claims a couple months ago that Israeli interference might take place. Is it possible? Never say never. But when you consider the fact that Israel has used cell phone technology to assassinate terrorist leaders I have a feeling that a country that doesn't have a sustainable cellular network is not going to be able to detect the sources of Israeli interference as Bassil has claimed.

But perhaps they could do it with some help with a group already in Lebanon. Would this be Hizbollah? Nope. Try UNIFIL.

That's right folks, the UN body that was put in place following the Hizbollah's kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and the subsequent poorly conceived campaign waged by Ehud Olmert against Hizbollah which, like Operation Cast Lead, failed to finish the job, despite Kadima's claim of victory, let slip that it is involved with seeking out Israeli spies. Is it me, or does that sound a bit out of their mandate? Anyway, as part of the treaty, yet another piece of crap that Israel had no business signing, UNIFIL was supposed to be responsible for making sure that Syria was no longer funneling Iranian weapons to their terror proxy in Lebanon. They have failed miserably at this mission. In fact, if you scratched the surface, I would suspect you'd find that UNIFIL enabled the weapons trafficking, as reports are that Nasrallah and his cast of idiots now has rockets with greater range than they had in 2006.

According to JPost, Israel Channel 1o reported the story:

According to the report, the UNIFIL activity was uncovered two days ago, during a video conference conducted between the Spanish defense minister and various Spanish military commanders stationed throughout the world, in which the commanders briefed the minister on their military operations. In a video aired by Channel 10, the Spanish UNIFIL commander was seen reporting that his troops had been engaged in "looking for Israeli spies."

"I would like to note the continuation of operations that were conducted this week, searching for an Israeli spy ring." he began. "A number of arrests were made."

Now that we have evidence that UNIFIL has been helping find alleged Israeli spies, I think it's safe to say that at best they have been turning a blind eye to the weapons traffic, and at worst are serving as the conduit.

It has also been reported that two Israeli sisters were arrested with passports showing conflicting originations.

Now here's another little wrinkle to the story. Again, from JPost

Two Hizbullah operatives arrested recently in Azerbaijan for allegedly plotting to attack the Israeli Embassy were caught with Iranian passports and were working on behalf of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as well as al-Qaida, Azeri news reports have reported.

According to new details revealed this week, the two men - identified as Karaki Ali Muhammad and Najmaddin Ali Huseyn - were caught with Iranian passports that they used to enter Azerbaijan.

In addition to the embassy, the cell planned to attack a Jewish community center in Baku as well as the Gabala Radar Station that Russia leases from Azerbaijan and is located in the north of the country.

Here's a little geography quiz. What radical Islamic country seeking nuclear weapons, and currently being appeased by the Marack Pajama administration, borders Azerbaijan? If you said Iran go get yourself a Klondike Bar.

And isn't it interesting that the supposed Israeli spy ring roundup is happening while two Lebanese Hizbullah operatives are on trial in Azerbaijan? Why yes, it is very interesting.

There are more details from The Daily Star, which also mentions the Iran/Al-Qaida connection. Interesting that Western anti-terror sources say the attack on the Israeli Embassy was revenge for the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh, but there is no mention of the motive for the planned attack on the radar station.

So what do we really have here? I think we have Iran shitting its pants that Israel, possibly with the help of the Russians, or Saudis, or a number of other nation states that have a vested interest in making sure Iran's nuclear ambitions are bombed back to the Stone Age, is going to launch an attack against them and do just that. If the Iranians are desperate enough to take on the Russians in this capacity then they must consider it possible for Israel to accomplish the mission. I think it might also be safe to say that the Russian S 300 Defense Missile system sale to Iran is in the toilet.

And what can we say about the link that is being made between the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Al-Qaida? Perhaps mutual interest in radicalizing Azerbaijani Muslims? Iran is shiite, Al-Quackers is Sunni. I think it's very safe to say that if this link is true and correct, that Al-Qaeda expects to be the beneficiary of nuclear material from Iran which it could use against Israel, Saudi Arabia, and of course the United States; all common enemies between the two.

As the clock runs out on the Iranian nukes issue, the game is afoot. I told you things were getting really interesting...and now deadly.

Aren't you glad that Marack Pajama is going to sit back and do nothing while Iran produces plutonium that is looking like it is heading into the hands Al-Qaida?

Can we impeach him NOW?!?
