State of war. "Hezbollah: Rockets fired into Israel directed by Iran: Militia deputy chief says 'all policies and activities' coordinated with Tehran," by Aaron Klein in WorldNetDaily.com (thanks to the American Israeli Patriot):
JERUSALEM – All of Hezbollah's policies and activities are coordinated with the leadership of Iran, including the firing of rockets into Israeli population centers for which direct Iranian approval is required, said a senior Hezbollah official in a rare admission."Even when it comes to firing rockets on Israeli civilians, when they [Israel] bombed the civilians on our side, even that decision requires an in-principle permission from [the ruling jurisprudent]," said Sheikh Naim Qassem, the deputy chief of Hezbollah, in an Arabic language interview translated yesterday by the Information and Terrorism Center at Israel's Center for Special Studies.
According to the Center, "the ruling jurisprudent," or "al-wali al-faqih" in Arabic, is the title of Supreme Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
In the interview, given last month to the Al-Kawthar, Iranian Arabic-language TV channel, Qassem says Khamenei's authority is crucial for all Hezbollah operations:
"Hezbollah relied and relies still in its Islamic religious position, which has to do with its activity in general and its jihadist activity in particular, on the decision of (Khamenei). The ruling jurisprudent is the one who allows and the one who prohibits."
He said Khamenei approves acts [of] suicide terror.
"We ask, receive answers, and then apply [them]. This is even true for acts of suicide for the sake of Allah – no one may kill himself without a jurisprudent permission (from Khamenei)."

True...and not surprising, considering that without irans help, 90% of the terrorism in iraq (of which 90% aren't even iraqis doing it) wouldn't occur.
They're "firing for effect", zeroing in on targets for future reference...a dress rehearsal.

The same thing is happening in Iraq. The order to kill American troops when committed by Shiites is approved in Iran. The order to murder Sunnites comes from the "jurisprudents." (Iranian thugs in charge).

Where is the World Court on this matter? It appears to me that Khamenei is the head of a terrorist crime syndicate.

...absolutely!...and testing for distance (range)....once the the max distance is known, then, from the point of launch, a compass can be use to draw a circle...within that circle all availiable targets become known...
...all heavily populated availiable targets can expect a rain of rockets sometime in the near future....

It looks like a duck, it walks like a duck, it quacks like a duck........yes, that's right, it is a duck!
How long before the Israelis go duck hunting?

Well now, isn't it time to clean out that wasps' nest? Smoke 'em out? Let 'em drink mushroom clouds!
Ta, ta, Teheran (sounds like the title to a good song)...

This was nothing less than an act of war by Iran against Israel. Last summer, Israeli civilians had to spend weeks cowering in bomb shelters as the rockets fell. Time for Iranians to cower in bomb shelters, I think.

agreed exsgtbrown:
Same tactic they've used for decades...zeroing in on targets for later operations (anyone who's done time with military forces knows this commonly-used tactic).
sorry, fightforfreedom:
world court only works when both countries in dispute agree for any case to be heard-otherwise it's an empty shell, especially if one side tells the other to "go to hell".
bonncaruso:
patience...you're right, but it's not time...yet. As napoleon once said "never interfere with an adversary in the process of committing suicide."
True spirit:
It was an act of war...just as it was when iran officially declared war on the United States over 20 years ago...in an official capacity (we've not yet reciprocated, and the UN can't say squat if we do)...that will be a time dictated by US, in our own good time (throwing it back in the islamofascists faces).
Right on folks...stay focused.
;-)
