What's It all About, Mahmoud?

Atlas does another fine job of pointing out the need to face our Islamic enemies and crush them NOW. Iran must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons. Just chemical, and biological agents are horrendous enough.

What it's all about is the destruction of Israel. Iran is now pouring long range rockets into Gaza. It’s only a matter of time till there is a three pronged attack on Israel: from Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza.

FROM ATLASSHRUGS:

What's It all About, Mahmoud?
This is what the Presidential election is all about. Like it or not. The worst message you can send to our Islamic enemies is "anti-war" despite events on the ground. The worst message. It's a message of preemptive surrender. If you are really, truly anti-war, you don't tell the enemy that you won't fight. If you are truly anti-war, you must show strength, character, balls. Appear unafraid and invulnerable, (or) you are toast. Power is all they understand and respect.
Tjis Presidential election will send a clear message to enemies of the West.

Iran launches first space research rocket Safir 1 DEBKA (hat tip Michael)
The Safir (Emissary) was launched into space Monday, Feb. 4, on top of the improved Shahab-3 which has a 4,000 km range. DEBKAfile's military sources report that the Iranian launch was Tehran's rejoinder to Israel's test of a new long-range missile propulsion engine on Jan. 17. Western experts reported at the time that Israel's newly-powered missiles could reach "any point on earth."
The Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was present for the test Monday.
DEBKAfile's military sources report Safir-1 was fired from a missile base in the Semnan Desert southeast of Tehran.
He also inaugurated Iran's first space research center and announced that the Ormid ("Hope") satellite would be placed in orbit "in the near future."
Our military sources disclose that while Tehran's space program is in its infancy, the Iranians are capable of a crash program for cutting down the gestation period for producing a military space satellite, as they proved in their nuclear effort.


Shin Bet chief reports: Masses of high-quality weaponry, such as long-range rockets, roll into Gaza through the breached Sinai border
The domestic security agency's director, Yuval Diskin, warned the Israeli cabinet Sunday, Feb. 3, that the Palestinians exploited the chaos on the Gaza-Sinai border to smuggle in quantities of long-range rockets, anti-tank and anti-air rockets and high explosives for missiles. Hundreds of Palestinian terrorists have headed south into Sinai. According to Western intelligence sources, they are spread out along the 220-km Israeli border.
DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources disclose the figure omitted from the cabinet's official communiqué to avoid alarming the public: The number of armed terrorists at large in Sinai is estimated in the region of a thousand. Hamas prepared at least 30 tracks for them to use when it bulldozed the Gaza-Sinai border ten days ago.
Defense minister Ehud Barak therefore told the cabinet that a border barrier must be constructed urgently at two sections of the unfenced Israel-Egyptian border – Nitzana and Eilat.
However, he is too late. Insistent demands by senior IDF officers to fence the border were neglected for too long by the Olmert government. Now, the Egyptian-Israel border is wide open to terrorists and they have been presented with a safe haven in Sinai for hit-and-run attacks.
