Russian Analysts Foresee Middle East War Within Months
There are reports that a full-scale regional war may not be far off in the Middle East.
Although the mainstream press has not been reporting such a threat, other sources are talking about Arab forces gathering for an attack on Israel.
For example, the World Tribune is quoting Russian defense officials and strategists who say it could happen within three to six months.
Russian analysts expect an Israeli offensive against the Palestinian Authority as early as next month, triggered by Palestinian bombings of Israeli cities. They say such an offensive could prompt Egypt to direct its Third Army to enter the Sinai. Indeed, the Third Army is already scheduled to conduct an exercise near the Suez Canal next month.
Other sources say that in addition to this, Iraq has just assured Syria that in the event of hostilities with Israel, Iraq will come to Syria's defense.
Well-known conservative voice, Gary Bauer, says now is the time for the United States to make it clear to Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and others that any move against Israel will draw us to her side. |
