Syria Preparing for War... Guess Against Who!

Syria ups army infrastructure on border [JPost]
Syria has spent the past few months constructing and moving infrastructure to its southern border that could be used to launch a war against Israel, senior defense officials have told The Jerusalem Post.

According to the officials, the Syrian military - while restricted in the number of troops it is allowed to deploy along the border - has moved military infrastructure, including fuel depots, closer to the frontier. The Syrians have also built structures in the area that could serve as weapons stores and military bases.

"There is no doubt that something out of the ordinary is taking place on the Syrian side of the border," a high-ranking official said. ...
When something like this pops up on the mainstream media's radar, it's always wise to check the J-blogosphere for more details. Orthodox Jewish Israeli "Carl in Jerusalem" over at Israel Matzav comes through, yet again, with War with Syria on the horizon? Bet on it (my prediction below). Along with providing a link to yet another JPost report detailing that Russia has decided to sell thousands of advanced weapons to Syria, Carl links to the above-quoted JPost article and concludes that:
I've already gone out on a limb and said that I believe that there will be another war in the north by late spring or early summer. I'll go further: May 24. That's the day after the Shavuoth holiday here. I believe war will happen on the northern front no later than May 24. You heard it here first.
Biblically speaking, spring is the time when wars begin. [2 Samuel 11] HaShem also moves at His appointed times. I've had a conviction in my spirit for months that this season would bring war with Syria. Will it wait until after the feasts? I doubt it.

Now is the time for us to pray for HaShem's guidance and wisdom to be upon His people; for His appointed leaders to respond to His call for this hour; for victory to be swift and certain, that His Word would again be proven true; that, in His mercy, He would forgive us our sins and remember His love for His people Israel and save us in order that His Name would be glorified and the truth of Yeshua the Messiah would be made known to all of am Yisrael. Baruch haShem!

Sidebar: Check out the political left's litany of believer-hatred logged over at Israpundit:
'Some reproductive rights links to consider while digesting Christmas leftovers' by Amanda Marcotte suggests that Jesus' mother should have used contraceptives or had an abortion, which seems to be the meaning of "Plan B."
The ideological battle is getting vicious. American believers better be prepared for a ruthless 2008 election season.

Shabbat Shalom v'Chag Purim Sameach!
