Israel and World War III - Part 4, The Pieces Start Moving

It appears that the World War is gaining traction as several important developments are occurring. In Africa -

France has declared war on al-Qaida, and matched its fighting words with a first attack on a base camp of the terror network's North African branch, after the terror network killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April.

The declaration and attack marked a shift in strategy for France, usually discrete about its behind-the-scenes battle against terrorism.

"We are at war with al-Qaida," Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Tuesday, a day after President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the death of 78-year-old hostage Michel Germaneau.

Wasn't there a coup attempt in the area not that long ago? Anyways, the giveaway section of the article tells you all you need to know about the situation -

U.S. Special Forces have helped the four nations train troops in recent years.

American troops created what could be the insurgents? No way! It's only happened a few times before in conspiracy land Georgia, Afghanistan, Pakistan...and has perhaps been funded by the Dept of Defense?

On another front, Russia is vocally drawing a line in the sand -

Russia joined Iran in condemning new sanctions the European Union imposed Monday to curtail Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

In a statement Tuesday, Russia said the EU's use of sanctions not approved by the UN Security Council is "unacceptable," Reuters reports.

The EU's new sanctions, adopted Monday, put sharp limits on new oil and gas investment and curb financial links with Iran. Canada also slapped Iran with similar sanctions Monday, according to RTT News, and on June 24 the US Congress passed curbs on dealing with Iran's banking and energy sectors.

Meanwhile Ahmadinejad is claiming that the attack is going to be within three months -

Iran expects the United States to launch a military strike on "at least two countries" in the Middle East in the next three months, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told state-run Press TV.

In an interview recorded on Monday, Ahmadinejad did not specify whether he thought Iran itself would be attacked nor did he say what intelligence led him to expect such a move.

Ahmadinejad said Iran had "very precise information that the Americans have hatched a plot, according to which they to wage a psychological war against Iran."

Hmmm, perhaps against Lebanon and Syria as well? And with action occurring in Columbia & Venezuela, Costa Rica, U.S. military drills in South Korea/North Korea and a possible terror attack on a Japanese tanker in the Gulf, can there be much doubt that everyone is positioning for the start of the race?
