12/30/08 - Brigitte Gabriel: Middle East Update

Iran is the main driver behind the Hamas attacks against Israel fueling and supplying the terrorist organization with financing as well as weapons and military training. Iran is using the bad guys of the region - Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon - to do its dirty work against Israel and inflame emotions across the Muslim street worldwide in preparation of a military confrontation with Israel.

If Iran continues to drive and inflame the confrontation, it will use its proxy Hezbollah to open another front from Lebanon; this will drive the whole region into a major war, which will indirectly put pressure on our troops in the region and create a very difficult situation for the U.S. during this presidential transitional time period.

Obama could very well enter office with a Middle East war on his hands.

This vulnerable period will be Obama's test by the terrorist organizations as America will be juggling both the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Israeli/Hamas conflict, Iranian nuke problem, and the radical Islamists' threat to attack America headed by Al-Qaida.

Brigitte Gabriel began her career as news anchor for "World News" an evening Arabic news broadcast for Middle East Television seen throughout the Middle East. She covered the Arab Israeli conflict, Israel's war and withdrawal out of Lebanon, and the Palestinian uprising in the West Bank and Gaza.
