cuttingedge.org/newsletters/newsalert.htm daily news updates News Brief: I. The Shiite government of Iraq is imploding underneath the assault of radical Sunni militants. Shiite Iran is said to be on the ground, to prevent a total collapse and to drive Sunni forces back. End Times Prophecy in Isaiah 13 continues to unfold. NEWS BRIEF: US considers options as militants push closer to Baghdad, Fox News, June 13, 2014 Al Qaeda-inspired militants pushed into a province northeast of Baghdad Friday, capturing two towns there after having already toppled cities in the country’s north, as the Obama administration considered possible responses to the crisis. This next statement astounds me, as a poorly equipped rebel force easily routs government forces, who are vastly better equipped than the rebels. Police officials said militants driving in machine gun-mounted pickups entered two towns in Diyala province late Thursday -- Jalula, 80 miles northeast of Baghdad, and Sadiyah, 60 miles north of the Iraqi capital. Iraqi soldiers abandoned their posts there without any resistance... One news story stated that government forces totaling 60,000 troops panicked and fled their post in the face of a 3000-man rebel force. Once again, we are taken back to South Vietnam, in 1975, as government troops were quickly routed. Has Shiite Iran quietly inserted elite members of her Army to prevent a total collapse of the Shiite Maliki government? NEWS BRIEF: Alarmed by Iraq, Iran open to shared role with U.S. - Iran official, Reuters News, June 13, 2014 Shite Muslim Iran is so alarmed by Sunni insurgent gains in Iraq that it may be willing to cooperate with Washington in helping Baghdad fight back, a senior Iranian official told Reuters. While stationed for three years at a Pentagon-level facility in Okinawa, one of the many facts I learned is that, when a government official admits that something may be possible, or is being discussed, the matter under discussion is already occurring on the ground. Likewise, I learned that, when the Press reports on a new weapon, the fact is that American forces have had that weapon for at least five years and maybe ten. Therefore, if an Iranian official admits that Iranian and American officials are discussing a possible Iranian intervention, the fact is that the intervention is already occurring. Iran could take a lesson from the Russian playbook on Crimea and Ukraine. Elite Russian troops entered these countries wearing a uniform that was not Russian. These special forces soldiers seized Russian objectives, while Russia could pretend that these soldiers were not Russian. Likewise, Iranian Revolutionary Guards could be on the ground already, but dressed in uniforms not Iranian. Surely, trained elite Iranian troops could defeat ragtag militant forces whose main military power is machine guns mounted on Jeeps. I doubt we will see American fighter jets over the skies of Iraq, but we may see Iranian jets in action. Iran is probably itching for action, as she would then become the most powerful regional nation in the Middle East. If America takes no action against an Iranian incursion, there is no other power strong enough to deter Iran.
