How Soon The
Big War
In The Middle East?
By Jack Manuelian

If you ask that question
to Scott Ritter, a former
US Marine and a UN weapons
inspector in Iraq from 1991
to 1998, his answer would
be soon...as he states in
an article of his that was
posted in Aljazeera.net on
June 20, 2005. Scott Ritter's
article "The US War With
Iran Has Already Begun"
was posted under the headline
of OPINION, so it is one man's
opinion.
After mentioning that "...the
US war with Iran has already
begun. As we speak, American
over flights of Iranian soil
are taking place, using pilot-less
drones and other, more sophisticated,
capabilities," Scott
says: "To the north,
in neighboring Azerbaijan,
the US military is preparing
a base of operations for a
massive military presence
that will foretell a major
land-based campaign designed
to capture Tehran."
Scott elaborates in some details:
" In fact, US air power
should be able to maintain
a nearly 24-hour a day presence
over Tehran airspace once
military hostilities commence.
No longer will the United
States need to consider employment
of Cold War-dated plans which
called for moving on Tehran
from the Persian Gulf cities
of Chah Bahar and Bandar Abbas.
US Marine Corps units will
be able to secure these towns
in order to protect the vital
Straits of Hormuz, but the
need to advance inland has
been eliminated. A much shorter
route to Tehran now exists
- the coastal highway running
along the Caspian Sea from
Azerbaijan to Tehran. US military
planners have already begun
war games calling for the
deployment of multi-divisional
forces into Azerbaijan. Logistical
planning is well advanced
concerning the basing of US
air and ground power in Azerbaijan."
On Mar 20, 2005, PanArmenian
Network posted an article
written by its analytical
department by the title "American
Military Bases in Azerbaijan?"
in which it states: "The
locations of the mobile [US
military] forces are already
fixed. The government of Azerbaijan
suggested the following formerly
Soviet bases: 'Galla' in Absherone,
'Bina' in Baku, 'Nasosny'
in Sumgait, 'Salyan' in Garachala
and airdromes in Kyurdamir,
Lenkoran, Evlakhe, Gyanja
and Nakhichevan. Researching
the territories during a year,
American experts have chosen
'Kyurdamir', 'Nasosny' and
'Galla'. All the three objects
are situated in central Azerbaijan,
far from Karabakh. The main
base is going to be in Kyurdamir.
"STATFOR experts mention
three most important tasks
of the American military presence
in Azerbaijan. The first one
is the security of Baku -
Tbilisi - Jeyhan pipeline,
the second task is the creation
of conditions IN CASE THERE
IS A NEED TO ATTACK IRAN and
the third one - to force Russia
out from the region.
According to analysts of the
American - Israeli center
(Statfor), it is not planned
to use mobile forces for 'peace
keeping measures' in Karabakh."

Rev. Samuel Doctorian, who
sometimes is referred to as
the Billy Graham of the Middle
East, has been given a vision
of the future from heaven,
in 1998, concerning the Middle
East, Rev. Doctorian describes
that vision: "I saw Iran
(Persia), Armenia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,
Israel, all of Asia Minor--full
of blood. I saw blood all
over these countries. And
I saw fire; nuclear weapons
used in many of those countries.
Smoke rising from everywhere.
Sudden destruction--men destroying
one another...and the United
Nations broken in pieces because
of the crisis in the Middle
East (The Vision of Five Angels)"
