Lebanon: neocon choreography at work?
Israel's rapid build up and repeated attacks proves at least one thing - these attacks have been planned for a very long time by Israel. Like the US, they do not do anything without planning logistics, escape routes, attack routes, and back-up plans.
What really bothers me is how the MSM is eating up the constant barrage of Iranian connections - a military iranian in Damascus, an alleged 747 that delivers arms EVERY WEEK to lebanon, the (disproved) supplying of arms to Shia and Sunni Iraqis.
Alone, each is foolish and easily disproved. Put together, it reeks of a Rovian slime job seeking US support to invade Iran.

The timing is ominous, the rationales are patently false, and the precipice upon which we stand is growing more scary.

2. Yep, but we've known about these plans from almost the beginning
...and no one choose to do anything about them.

<take time to watch the videos of the presentations at this conference>

4. NeoCon and ZionCon choreography.
  Zionism has fractured or branched (depending on which way you look at it) from its practical inception in the 19th century. Zionism is a secular idea at heart (and originally, a beautiful one verging (IMO) on a poetic concept of sorts. But there have always been strong religious overtones, latent or willfully unrecognized initially. Revisionist Zionism (or the melding of Revisionist Zionism with Religious Zionism, again, depending on how you view things) is responsible for what I define as a ZionCon- a Zionist NeoCon. A ZionCon represents not just the merging but the conceptual evolution over the last 20 or so years of the original Revisionist or Revisionist/Religious Zionist dogma into something much more aggressive and desperate than even NeoCons, currently.

  An easy test to determine if you're looking at the actions of a ZionCon: a ZionCon will, without hesitation, call another Jew self-loathing because they disagree with that Jew's (more moderate or left-leaning) political ideas or opinion. There is more than a whiff of racial superiority in the ZionCon mind- they feel free and even obliged to be the determiners of who is a "real" Jew and who is an anti-Semite. BTW, if you know who he is, not even Kahane would make such proclamations, to the best of my understanding. To give you a good example of a ZionCon, I present the Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

  Working claw in claw there is nothing these two groups will not do to achieve their goals.

  By the way, did I mention Rabbi Yosef's political party, Shas currently holds 10% of the seats in the Israeli Knesset? And don't go thinking that it jumps from him to something alot more reasonable: Right-wing conservatism un an unthinkable (and unthinking) scale is very popular in Israel at the moment. Without constant U.S. military aid and praise, that might change. But AIPAC will make sure that doesn't happen.

  Not that AIPAC necessarily agrees with them, but they don't have to: AIPAC exists to continue to bring money, good PR and US policy favorable twoard Israel, nomatter what political hat it wears at the moment.
