Are we going to hear on April 6 (massive emergency drill day) from Israel that Israel attacked Syria responding to a Syrian military build-up and planned attack? Russia may have leaked the April 4, 6 dates.

Key Israelis changing travel plans next week! Israel is continuing to violate Lebanese airspace - preparation for the spring offensive? Testing air-defence?

Interesting activity by the U.S. on the Iraq-Iranian border. Largest U.S. naval presence in the region since the Iraq invasion.

Cheney touring countries in the region.

Saudi Arabia last week annoucing the preparing of its citizens for nuclear fallout.

Is another Israeli jeep going to cross the border to 'get attacked'? Stay tuned. More IDF soldiers pictures for fund-raising posters?

NATO today backing off on new membership to Russia-bording states.

Friendliest U.S. president and administration in a long time - last secure chance to strike out and create 'Lebensraum' for greater Israel.

All the pieces fit.
