#1 Curious why Debka is always 'salt to taste.' If it's BS, why is it quoted at all? Or is there truth mixed in there somewhere? Interested in your thoughts. Thanks.

#2 DEBKA seems to have some very good sources and gets a significant amount of stuff right, and right very early on. On the other hand, they also get a lot wrong - possibly some of which would have been right if left alone in the dark.

#4 True. Debka is a piece of work. Some items are spot on - and this particular one is food for thought. But Debka is also used for disinformation purposes by the military authorities in Israel. So you just have to look at each story they print and judge them individually for their merits.

#6 Ohhh and by the way - a follow-up to a side discussion I had with Besoeker. Last week Debka reported the mobilization of a large number of Israeli reservists who were deployed to N. Israel and the Golan Heights. Supposedly it was an "exercise". This Debka news report was correct, by the way.

Well, guess what. Just as we speculated on Rantburg at the time - the reservists were NOT sent back home this week. The exercise is over, but the reserves are still there. So Israel has permanently reinforced all its northern borders. In preparation for SOMETHING.

#10 Raider, it's an interesting point. Makes me wonder if part of the reason why Egypt is getting frisky in the Sinai is to try and draw some of the Israeli forces out of the north. Mursi and Short Round had to be talking about something last week...

#12 The Islamists want this whole area to go back to the 7th Century. Well, that is what they want, and probably that is what the people there will get if they do not stand up to the Islamists.

Israel is coming up to its existential moment. There is no more breathing room in the 'hood.

#13 D *** NG IT, NO DISSING OF AC/DC ALLOWED!

Is the US-NATO/EU + Israel missing Uncle Muammar + Mubarak now - the threat of losing another one to the "Arab/Muslim/Islamic Spring" + being surrounded like Custer by anti-Israeli, anti-US-West, pro-Sharia Islamist Nuke-wannabes, NOT COUNTING IRAN, may induce Israel to do everything it can to save Baby Assad oer in Syruh???

#14 The Muzzie BruderBund seems to be on a roll lately, taking advantage of some pent-up forces. My question is what happens on the day after?

Imagine a vast swath of fundie BruderBundness throughout the ME. Now what? The same problems are still there: everyone is young, poor and uneducated (and I would argue, stupid - they are infected with a cultural meme that seems to be a marker for developmental backwardness) There are no jobs and no food. And no prospects. Now what, Mossie Bruders?

#16  Now what, Mossie Bruders?

They've been borrowing money from the Saudis, et al since April, SteveS, and our beloved president wants to give them pots more money, as a kindness.
