WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Monday, August 13, 2001
MOSCOW Russian defense officials and strategists project that an
Arab-Israeli war could erupt in the Middle East over the next three to six
months. The widely-held scenario described a war that would engulf Iraq,
Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, according to Middle East Newsline. The
officials and strategists said Egypt could be swept into such a
conflict.”We are moving inexorably toward a war,” a senior Russian
diplomat said. “Russia has tried and the United States has tried to stop
this, but to no avail.”Russian strategist Yevgeney Stanovsky agreed.
Stanovsky, head of the Moscow-based Middle East Institute said a regional
war is inevitable in wake of the failure of international efforts to
implement a ceasefire.The trigger for the war could take place in
September. The Russian analysts expect an Israeli offensive against the
Palestinian Authority triggered by Palestinian bombings of Israeli cities.
Such an offensive, they said, could prompt Egypt to direct its Third Army
to enter the Sinai.The Third Army is scheduled to conduct an exercise near
the Suez Canal next month.In London, the London-based Sunday Times said
Egypt is considering sending its Third Army into the demilitarized Sinai
peninsula. The newspaper, quoting a senior Egyptian security source, said
on Sunday that Cairo would send in the army if Israel moves into
Palestinian territories.Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the newspaper
said, has come under increasing pressure to help the Palestinians. The
Times said Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said Egypt has committed
itself to helping the Palestinians against any Israeli attack.In Cairo,
Arab League chief Amr Mussa warned of an impending catastrophe in the
Middle East. Mussa said all efforts to prevent a regional breakdown appear
to have resulted in failure.On Wednesday, the Arab League convenes in
emergency session to plan a public relations strategy. The meeting will be
attended by the league”s new spokeswoman, Palestinian legislator Hanan
Ashrawi.Egypt plans to launch a campaign to recruit international pressure
against Israel. This will include Israel”s closure of Palestinian
institutions in Jerusalem.For their part, Israeli officials said the
threat of a regional war that would involve Egypt has been discussed in
numerous forums. They said Mubarak has been giving orders to bolster
Egypt”s military readiness while he continues to be wary of Israel”s
strength.”Egypt is the most hostile country to Israel within the
international community and it should be treated as an enemy state,”
National Infrastructure Minister Avigdor Lieberman said. “This man
passionately wants the destruction of Israel, but he knows he would lose
in the event of an all-out war. This is why he is trying to destroy us
piecemeal.”On Sunday, Syria held high-level military talks with China.
Syrian Chief of Staff Gen. Ali Aslan met a Chinese military delegation on
a visit to Damascus.Syrian sources said the two sides discussed ways to
promote military relations. U.S. officials said China has renewed missile
component and technology exports to Syria and other Arab and Middle
Eastern states.
