I agree too - watch out for the Iraqi military.
Iraq will attack Israel
The Iraqi Army very well could attack Israel, not as
the Iraqi Army is now, but as it could be by 2010.
For what the U.S. could do is begin to greatly
increase the size and capabilities of the Iraqi Army,
not only so that the Iraqi Army will be able to fully
take over the role now being filled by the exhausted
U.S. military forces in Iraq, but possibly also so
that the Iraqi Army (basically as a proxy for the
U.S.) will be able to invade and conquer Iran, in
order to rid the Middle East (especially Israel) of
the Iranian nuclear threat and extremist regime.
But what could happen is that right when a huge Iraqi
Army (fully trained and equipped by the U.S. with all
the latest and best weapons systems) is ready to
conquer huge Iran, it could suddenly turn on its heels
and conquer tiny Israel (and then Egypt) instead
(Daniel 11:15-16).
If this happens, it will he horribly ironic, for
Israel, the good friend of the U.S., will end up
being destroyed by U.S. weapons and training.
But then the question must be asked: If that could
happen, if a huge Iraqi Army could suddenly turn
and conquer Israel (and then U.S.-ally Egypt),
wouldn't the U.S. foresee that possibility and refuse
to make the Iraqi Army that large and powerful?
Not necessarily, in the sense that while the U.S.
would certainly foresee the possibility that a huge
Iraqi Army capable of conquering huge Iran could
certainly conquer tiny Israel instead, if it wanted
to, the U.S. could figure that the probability of that
happening is so low as not to be worried about.
But then someone could ask: "But why would the U.S.
assume a low probability of a huge Arab Army wanting
to conquer tiny Israel?"
What could contribute to that assumption could be the
assurance of the leader of the Iraqi Army to the U.S.
government that he is friendly toward Israel and only
wants to take out non-Arab Persian Iran, a rival of
the Arabs for dominance in the Middle East.
But then someone could ask: "Yeah, but if that guy is
lying, and really wants to use his huge army (given
to him by the U.S.) to take out Israel, wouldn't the
CIA, NSA, or Mossad pick up on that at some point?
I mean, he would have to talk to someone about his
plans to take out Israel, and everything he says in
his office or over the phone or in his car, or even
in the innermost privacy of his bedroom, will
certainly be picked up by ubiquitous U.S. and Israeli
bugs and taps. The guy would have to get caught in his
lie eventually".
Not necessarily. The leader of the Iraqi Army could be
smart enough to know that the U.S. (and Israel) are not
just going to take his word that he likes Israel and
only hates Iran, but will be bugging his every word,
even to his children as he kisses them goodnight in
their bedrooms. So he is not going to tell anyone at
all, ever, about his plans to invade Israel (and then
Egypt) and basically take over the Middle East on his
own terms. He will keep it a total secret, even from
his closest confidants.
But then someone could ask: "Okay, let's say he
actually fools the U.S. and Israel, and they agree
that he can have a huge army to conquer Iran with.
Once he gets that army (from the U.S.), how could
he just suddenly invade Israel? I mean, he'd have
to tell his army at some point to roll west instead
of east, and wouldn't the Iraqi Army leaders under
him balk at that command and say 'No way. What are
you doing? We can't invade Israel. The U.S. will
destroy us. Israel will nuke us. You're mad.' "
Some of the leaders of the Iraqi Army could say that
to him, but others could jump at the chance to
(as they could say) "finally throw Israel into the
sea". And he could answer the fearful leaders as
follows (remember this would be in 2010):
"Look, the U.S. Army is all bogged down in
Afghanistan and western Pakistan, and the U.S. Navy
is all bogged down defending Taiwan from the current
threats from China to finally take it over. If we
move quickly, we can be occupying Israel and Egypt
long before the U.S. is able to mount a counter-
attack to take back Egypt and Israel. And by the time
they try to make that counter-attack, we'll be dug in
all along the shores of Egypt and Palestine, and I'll
get Putin to back us up. I'm sure he'd love to in
his hatred for the U.S. The U.S. will probably try
to make a dangerous amphibious assault somewhere along
the shore of Egypt, where we can cut them to ribbons
in the water, killing 20,000 or 30,000 of them in a
single day. The U.S. people will wail and moan;
they're total weaklings. They'll say 'What the hell
are we doing? Who cares about Egypt? And who cares
about Israel? Let all the Jews come and live with
us here in the U.S. where they'll be safe. My God,
we can't let any more of our children be slaughtered
in this madness!' And so the U.S. won't have the
stomach or the willpower to make any more all-out
assaults against us."
But then one of the leaders of the Iraqi Army could
speak up: "Sir, let us assume that we are successful
in occupying Israel and Egypt, and successful in
defeating a first major counter-attack by the U.S.
What about Israel's nuclear weapons? Wouldn't they
have used them against our major Iraqi cities in
retaliation while we were defeating them?"
"Yes, they very well could do something like that,
they are so evil. So all of you might want to tell
your families to evacuate Baghdad and Mosul and Basra
and An Najaf and Arbil and Kirkuk until we have full
control of Israel and its nuclear weapons."
"Sir! You are willing for millions of innocents in
Iraq to be incinerated just so we can defeat Israel?"
"Look. Israel probably won't use its nuclear weapons
against us because of the recent claims by Iran that
it has developed nuclear weapons and will use them
against Israel if Israel ever uses its nuclear weapons
against any Muslim nation."
"But isn't that just a bluff on Iran's part?"
"There's no way to know for sure. Why do you think the
U.S. and Israel are so eager for us to invade Iran?
Because they are so scared of Iran's nuclear
capability. They know that only we will be able to
take over all of the deep-underground nuclear sites
in Iran and actually determine what's going on down
in every last one of them. Their bombs can't reach
that deep and their spies can't infiltrate all of the
many different sites. And wasn't there a seismic
reading some months ago near the location of one of
the sites, which Iran said was a successful test of a
nuclear weapon, while the U.S. and Israel claimed
that that was just a bluff, that it was only a natural
earthquake? They just said that because they're so
embarrassed that Iran could actually have developed a
nuclear weapon. And by now Iran could have built
five or six of them, enough to obliterate Israel."
"But what about delivery? Doesn't Israel know that
Iran has no way of delivering those bombs against
Israel?"
"No. Israel doesn't know that at all. Hasn't Iran
proved that it has missiles that can reach Israel?
So it can send missiles with nuclear bombs over to
Israel."
"But what if Israel is so mad when we defeat them
that they will send their nuclear bombs against
our Iraqi cities without caring if Iran nukes Israel
in return?"
"No. Israel is too small. It knows that if it's
nuked it's ruined for good. It would rather suffer
conventional defeat and hope that it can return on
the back of a U.S. counter-invasion sometime down the
road."
"Sir, some U.S. soldiers are breaking down the front
door of this building."
"Of course. The CIA and Mossad have heard our every
word. We've talked too long. One of you, quickly, call
the nearby barracks to send enough of our troops over
to kill the U.S. soldiers before they can get up to
this office. And all of you, hurry, get on your phones
and get your divisions moving out of Baghdad as soon
as possible and on their way toward Israel. And let's
kill all of the U.S. soldiers left in Baghdad on our
way out. There's so few of them left it shouldn't take
very long. Come, let us hurry."
And so the leader of the Iraqi Army could convince his
subordinates to invade Israel suddenly, without any
warning.
