So now we must justify why our Freedom Loving American Empire supports the Saudi Royal Family.
What kind of silliness is this? "My friendly dictators are better than your bad dictators". Nah nee Nah Nee Nah.

Iranian Paper Boasts of End to U.S.-Israel Alliance, Predicts Destruction
of
Israel After Fall of Saudi Royal Family
By Ryan Mauro
WorldThreats.com
An Iranian newspaper tied to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei recently boasted
that the U.S. has ?rejected? Israel over the past three months. This
belief
could have disastrous consequences. The author writes that the only
?obstacle? remaining is the Saudi Royal Family and once it falls, Israel
can
be destroyed.
?It can be said that within the last 60 years, this is the first time
that
the Zionist regime, since its illegal inception, has had to endure
rejection
by the West over its vision and interest in the region,? wrote Sadollah
Zarei, according to a translation by Reza Kahlili.
It?s easy to see why Iran has picked up on this fact, which Democrats
have
desperately tried to deny throughout Obama?s tenure. Headline after
headline
is about the U.S. trying to hold Israel back. In March, an anonymous
administration official told the Washington Post, ?We?re trying to make
the
decision to attack as hard as possible for Israel.?
There?s been a steady stream of leaks from administration officials
potentially damaging Israel. On March 28, Foreign Policy reported on the
alleged existence of a secret agreement between Israel and Azerbaijan
making
the latter?s airbases available for a potential strike on Iran. The
results
of a classified war game simulating a conflict between Israel and Iran
that
showed hundreds of U.S. casualties made its way into the press. Another
report claimed that Israel is using members of the MEK Iranian opposition
group to target Iran?s nuclear scientists.
The author attributes the change in U.S. policy to recognition of Iranian
strength because of the Arab Spring, which he refers to as the ?Islamic
Awakening.? He specifically mentions the removal of Egyptian President
Hosni
Mubarak and the subsequent takeover of the country by Islamist forces.
Zarei
also claims that the U.S. is ?on the verge of accepting the Iranian
nuclear
program? and points to statements by Israeli officials that Iran is
?rational? as proof that the Israeli government is weakening.
The Coming Is upon Us
Don?t let the fact that Iran is Shiite and the Muslim Brotherhood and
Salafists are Sunni fool you. The two forces may be battling in Syria, but
the Iranian regime still believes that its rise is a fulfillment of
Islamic
End Times prophecy. Last year, Ahmadinejad?s office produced a
documentary
titled The Coming Is upon Us. It outlined how it views its role in
Islamic
prophecy and plainly states that the Muslim Brotherhood?s ascendance is
?in
accordance with the Hadith.?
In February, Khamenei declared, ?From now on, in any place, if any nation
or
any group confronts the Zionist regime, we will endorse and we will
help.?
This should be seen as an overture to the Muslim Brotherhood. The film
states that the destruction of Israel is preceded by the creation of an
anti-Western Arab coalition.
Arguably the most important line in Zarei?s column is this: ?With
diminishing support for Israel and with the (upcoming) collapse of the
monarchy in Saudi Arabia, there won?t be any obstacles left facing Iran
with
its policy of annihilation of Israel.?
This statement echoes what the apocalyptic documentary said. In The
Coming
Is upon Us, the regime teaches that the death of Saudi King Abdullah will
be
a fulfillment of prophecy and one of the last precursors to Israel?s
destruction. Saudi Arabia will be consumed with internal turmoil until the
Mahdi appears to vanquish Islam?s enemies. King Abdullah is at least 87
years old.
In August, a Hezbollah MP in Lebanon, retired Brigadier-General Walid
Sakariya, stated that two other things must happen before the final war to
destroy Israel can begin: U.S. forces must leave Iraq and the Assad regime
in Syria must be secure. The first objective has been completed.
President Ahmadinejad recently stated the war is not necessary to destroy
Israel if the Arab world unites against it. However, the voices describing
such a war in detail are getting louder.
In February, the deputy-commander of the Iranian military announced a
change
in policy. ?Our strategy now is that if we feel our enemies want to
endanger
Iran?s national interests, and want to decide to do that, we will act
without waiting for their actions,? he said.
Around the same time, the director of the parliament?s research
institute,
Ahmed Tavakoli, said Iran should attack Israel by the end of the year,
urging the regime to take advantage of the political climate in the U.S.
Tavakoli said that Iranian missiles could pummel the coastal area to the
south of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in order to degrade Israel?s retaliatory
capacity. He said that the Dimona nuclear reactor and a smaller reactor
south of Tel Aviv must also be destroyed.
That same month, the former governor of Kish Province and pro-Khamenei
strategist, Alireza Forghani, went even further and outlined a strategy of
genocide against the Jewish population of Israel. His analysis was
reposted
at several other regime websites, most notably the Fars News Agency
operated
by the Revolutionary Guards.
Forghani said that Shahab-3 missiles could destroy Tel Aviv, Jerusalem
and
Haifa, eliminating 60% of the Jews in Israel. Nuclear reactors, air force
bases and airbases should be targeted in the first wave by Sejil missiles.
Secondary targets would include power plants, communication sites,
transportation sites and sewage treatment facilities. Altogether, he said,
it would take about nine minutes. He strongly recommended that the attack
happen before 2014. That is when Ahmadinejad?s term ends.
This genocidal madness was endorsed by Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi, an
influential hardline cleric. Reza Kahlili reports that he recently ruled
that all Israelis who did not oppose the country?s ?vicious crimes? are
legitimate targets. Mesbah-Yazdi has written in support of Iran acquiring
nuclear weapons and one of his disciples issued a fatwa in 2006 justifying
their use.
Policymakers need to recognize that public tensions between the U.S. and
Israel and displays of American weakness reinforce the regime?s beliefs.
In
The Coming Is upon Us, the regime uses quotes from U.S. officials stating
that there is no viable military option against Iran as proof that
prophecy
is being fulfilled.
No good comes from making Iran believe that the U.S. isn?t interested in
defending Israel.
