Time magazine writes: The killing last week of a senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps commander near the Lebanon-Syria border has rekindled speculation about Iran’s activities in Syria, particularly its ties to the militia groups fighting alongside the Syrian government. With rebel forces having gained control of vast swaths of northern and eastern Syria in recent weeks, and the U.N. envoy Lakhdar Brahimi warning that Syria is being transformed into “a playground for competing regional forces and governments,” the precise nature of Iran’s role in the conflict is being held to more scrutiny than perhaps any moment since the conflict began 22 months ago.
In the meantime, over at HorsesAss, the portents from the Deity are worrisome:
Isaiah 34:7
And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.2. MikeBoyScout spews:
If there is a god it clearly wants me to wake up early and get out and enjoy the day.
3. God spews:
Mike @2 …
I( am here. The day is beautiful and you will encounter no unicorns.
I you do encounter the likes of Isiah, turn the thy nether cheek toward them and walk away for they are either mad or bent on no good. But bewar4e the silent Isiahs, the ones who build bombs, steal bread from the poor, or make war in My name.
Perhaps Isaiah is writing about the situation in Syria?
Seems to me that the godly ones of the right are all to likely to see unicorns there and want to war war until the blood flows over Syria’s borders.
I, for one am very glad that the one true God, as revealed here on HA, does not forment war.
