3.5 weeks To Go!

text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje8kRdQGoSSYcmUDYSlUMpcz8ymPAU0m341SH_g1ygkq-0cUGkOual5lxzuylREoi-phcZSpgFG7OTA7tARhfuWFrHTyb_HoZDbmN3SwoM886PQJacSMe_0q6LQjnJi7T4mKL5oZSz3fw/s1600/facebook+prego+cover+photo+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyFRBSWLarMmNriaiskiGcDA6kN9uCpEl-k7Nd2Y2VgDLaNOWHFL6Z0403C0Vx-D4b7kEerDehKt-To9NC7j6v_yuwwnacfYlvgy9SVbbVXvqC6KrnuR2ssI4je-bqHLsCAJObKN8NxNE/s1600/facebook+prego+profile+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"></div><br />What blows me away even more is how <i>my</i> body has responded to pregnancy.  I've talked about this <a href="http://the-big-weight.blogspot.com/2013/04/minor-health-issues.html" target="_blank">before</a>, but it's worth jotting down again for my own sake.  I am most definitely not about to condone being overweight.  However, I feel a lot like my blogger friend <a href="http://www.coffeecakeandcardio.com/" target="_blank">Ashley</a>.  <span style="color: #999999;"><i>{</i></span><i><span style="color: #999999;">Ashley has her own weight loss journey that she talks about on her blog <a href="http://www.coffeecakeandcardio.com/" target="_blank">Coffee Cake and Cardio</a>.}</span></i>  The thing that draws me to Ashley is something I believe we share (or, rather, <i>shared</i> prior to becoming pregnant).  Ashley is very fit - she works out a ton each day, and also plays on a <a href="http://www.coffeecakeandcardio.com/category/dc-divas-football/" target="_blank">professional sports team</a> in the area.  Yet, she's talked about being ridiculed by doctors for being overweight.  Ashley has very clearly proven that the number on the scale is, just in fact, a number. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSDXPdPWznnWyPO7eo0aAUZ4CGB7tdVGHP9vXaiKg7mrVa6oeSOcSrEhpX4E_Y4VPOe5hFZ6ciwlqISm6LVdf4Rf1pe164OkWETQWIhi9PGu-ZHtOEVLWCcgTTFxASVRYKSMm308u4s4/s1600/joel+prego+fb+pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Both pre- and post-Revolutionary IRAN had extensive military and economic ties with the Jewish state.

Conflict between the two may be bitter, but it is not, and never was, inevitable.<br /><br /> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">USA GRANTING IRAN LARGE-SCALE NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAM (1953)</b></span><br /><br /> IRAN informally recognized ISRAEL in 1950, becoming the first Muslim-majority country after TURKEY to do so. With few allies in the region, ISRAEL welcomed IRAN’S modest support.  That support increased when the UK and the UNITED STATES overthrew the government in IRAN in 1953, (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat</a>) installing in its place a more Western-friendly regime. The new regime, headed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Reza_Pahlavi" target="_blank">by</a>the Shah, was so aligned with the UNITED STATES that a deal was stuck granting <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the PERSIAN nation a huge nuclear energy program, as well as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_program_of_Iran" target="_blank">large quantities</a> of plutonium and enriched uranium — two pathways to a nuclear bomb.<br /><br /> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Background Information:</u></b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">NUCLEAR IRAN TOPIC NOTHING NEW: SABER RATTLING SINCE 1979.</span> </span>Read entire article at: </b><a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/06/iran.html">http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/06/iran.html</a><br />  <br /> The ISRAELI-IRANIAN alliance was a part of the Shah’s pro-Western orientation. The Shah looked at ISRAEL as a way to establish friendly relations with the U.S. ISRAEL saw IRAN as a way to escape its regional isolation. They were bound by common enemies: the SOVIET UNION, and ARAB nationalism, especially IRAQ.<br /><br /> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ISRAEL, IRAN AND TURKEY FORMED A TRILATERAL INTELLIGENCE ALLIANCE</b></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHDiQNVCQYsN6c1ymXaHB-URxNmUQ2NRXfu4oNDkkFuWb-qBrjGK7iEyJJGDpuAo-ehGkqHW1v0pauzBipKhgj48KIKup-uv0_AnhkaJ7DfacegzYwP5z-UG6Zsq95HshhsQch9zqwgISX/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHDiQNVCQYsN6c1ymXaHB-URxNmUQ2NRXfu4oNDkkFuWb-qBrjGK7iEyJJGDpuAo-ehGkqHW1v0pauzBipKhgj48KIKup-uv0_AnhkaJ7DfacegzYwP5z-UG6Zsq95HshhsQch9zqwgISX/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>The alliance, though never formalized or publicized because of ISRAEL’S unpopularity in the region, consisted of deep intelligence and arms cooperation, as well as oil sharing. In the late 1950s, ISRAEL, IRAN and TURKEY formed a trilateral intelligence alliance and performed counterterrorism intelligence operations. In the early 1960s, they teamed up to support IRAQI KURDS fighting the central regime. Tehran and Tel Aviv developed a close military and intelligence relationship that would continue to expand until the Islamic revolution.<br /> The extent of this alliance should not be exaggerated. The Shah kept IRAN’S relationship with ISRAEL secretive for fear of rousing his own anti-ISRAELI population as well as those of IRAN’S neighbors. Instead, the alliance was based on the perception of common threats. But the threats emanating from the SOVIET UNION, IRAN and the ARAB bloc were perceived as so serious that they outlasted the Shah’s overthrow in 1979.<br /><br /> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Background Information</u>: </b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF 1979, ISRAEL FOUGHT HARD TO HELP SUSTAIN THE UNITY AND STRENGTH OF IRAN.</span> Read entire article at: </span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"></span><br /> <a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2013/05/syria-israel-and-turkey-and-iran-love.html">http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2013/05/syria-israel-and-turkey-and-iran-love.html</a><br /><br /> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ISRAEL’S ARMS SALES TO IRAN AMOUNTED TO $500 MILLION ANNUALLY</b></span><br /><br /> The Islamist government that took power in IRAN in 1979 was deeply hostile towards Western doctrines. And yet, the requirements of IRANIAN national interest trumped ideology to force the Islamic government to cooperate with ISRAEL on a number of issues. Once the U.S.-supported IRAQI government invaded IRAN, the PERSIAN state turned to ISRAEL for much-needed arms. Phantom fighter planes and weapons for the IRANIAN army were sent by ISRAEL. <a href="http://www.washington-report.org/backissues/1186/8611002.html" target="_blank">One estimate</a> puts ISRAEL’S arms sales to IRAN at $500 million annually.<br /><br /> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">IRANIAN REGIME INCREASED ITS POISONOUS RHETORIC AGAINST ISRAEL IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN CREDIBILITY IN THE WIDER MUSLIM WORLD </b></span><br /><br /> In the mid-1980s ISRAEL was the conduit between IRAN and the Reagan administration during the illicit IRAN-Contra affair in which the Reagan administration sold weapons to the IRANIANS and used the proceeds to fund the anti-communist insurgency in NICARAGUA. Even as it was relying more on ISRAEL for arms in its war, the IRANIAN regime increased its poisonous rhetoric attacking ISRAEL, just as the Shah had done. Such rhetoric was meant to maintain credibility in the wider Muslim world, but wasn’t matched by action. “ISRAEL is IRAN’S best friend and we do not intend to change our position,” Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin said in 1987.<br /><br /> Two events caused the gradual splitting between the erstwhile allies. First, the SOVIET UNION collapsed in 1991, removing the greatest threat outside of the region to both nations’ security. Second, the weakening of IRAQ during the Persian Gulf War diluted its menace. Simply put, IRAN and ISRAEL needed each other less, as both were more secure in the post-Cold War world. The common threats that for decades had prompted the two states to cooperate and find common geo-strategic interests — in spite of IRAN’S transformation into an Islamist anti-Zionist state —no longer exist.<br /><br /> The ISRAELIS, who had long ignored IRANIAN rhetoric, decided it needed to be taken seriously, especially in light of the Islamic state’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah. IRAN worried about ISRAEL’S growing power and wanted to assert power in the region. IRAN once had a more pragmatic leadership and policies. The marginalization of the reformers that were popular in the 1990s meant that the extremist factions in the leadership became dominant. AMERICA’S invasion of Saddam Hussein’s IRAQ in 2003 removed that country’s threat to ISRAEL, leaving it with IRAN as the most menacing nation in the region.<br /><br /> <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CALCULATED TACTICS AND STRATEGIES IN ORDER TO OBTAIN MAXIMUM GEOPOLITICAL LEVERAGE </b></span><br /><br /> In recent past mainstream media and ISRAEL itself, increasingly stipulated that it is pushing for a preemptive airstrike on IRAN. Looking at ISRAEL history and how it conducts its wars and covert operations, it becomes imminent that it relies heavily on the element of surprise. Such was the case during most of its wars, rescue operations such as Entebbe, UGANDA in 1976, the IRAQI nuclear reactor air strike in 1981 and the alleged SYRIAN nuclear reactor airstrike in 2007. Thus as long as ISRAEL is “threatening” to attack IRAN on a daily base, and media coverage is in full swing, one can be sure that no such strike is imminent, for the element of surprise is lost. In most likelihood, ISRAEL’S threats of attacking IRAN and at the same time urging the USA to set a red line are calculated tactics and strategies in order to obtain certain concessions from the USA and indeed other allies. In most likelihood ISRAEL pursues a much more complex goal with its warmongering rhetoric’s against IRAN, than really intending to attack IRAN, one that will give ISRAEL inevitably some significant advantage, be it geopolitical, strategically or economically.<br /><br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Background Information</span></u></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">: </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: #cc0000;">WHY OF AN ISRAEL IRAN CONFLICT REMAIN LOW.</span> </span></b><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">R</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">ead entire article at:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/08/israel-and-iran-airstrike-unlikely.html">http://news-these-days.blogspot.com.ar/2012/08/israel-and-iran-airstrike-unlikely.html</a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Under current conditions ISRAEL will never initiate a full scale attack against IRAN.  Nevertheless one should be aware that all current assumptions, analysis, opinions regarding the ISRAEL - IRAN confrontation are based on information fed to the broad public and media by the upper echelons of world politics.
