Follow up — The truth about Israel’s rumored strike on Iran
That analysis looks sick to me. For one, it lists Bahrain as Iran's regional ally. Bahrain is ruled by Saudi aligned Sunnis who put the jack boot (whatever that is) on the throat of a Shia uprising, if I recall correctly...

ReplyDeleteDon't know where he is coming from on that. Iran recently expressed support for the Shi'a community that is agitating against the Sunni regime.

It ain't happening until after the Madonna concert, or the Israeli youths will be so upset.
