What's your plan?

Really? I wonder what this is about then.

Good old John Bolton.

I'd also let them know that I was heading for Jerusalem for a goodwill tour and that I'd be bringing along T Boone Pickens to sing choruses of Drill Baby Drill.

I'd then call the Canadians and let them know that we'd be happy to open up not one but two pipelines, and we'd be sending along representatives from the EPA to cut the ribbons on them when they start pumping.

This would add additonal oil to world supply, and I'd then call the Iranians and ask them if they enjoy selling their oil on the world market for pennies on the dollar. If that was cramping their style a bit, gee we're really sorry about that but if it would help we'd help them raise cash by buynig as many centerfuges as they'd like to sell.

I don't know and neither do you. The article is highly speculative and offers no support for the suggestion that Hezbollah is planning to open a front against Israel.

I mean, the guy even suggests that the operations may be directed not at Israel but at Jordan. Why? Because Jordan is going after ISIS, that's why!

Of course, this makes perfect sense since Hezbollah and the Assad forces are also fighting ISIS. Why wouldn't Hezbollah want to interfere with that?

And what's not speculative is that the Israelis have been assisting the Jihadis on the Syrian side of the Golan for more than a year, supplying them and treating their wounded. That's perfectly okay, though.

Dumb!

Also, what has happened in the last month, since the article first appeared, to lend support to the writer's fantasies?

Thank God we have smarter/shrewder people than you at the negotiating table. Dr. Moniz ain't nobody's dummy.

This is the middle east today. Who the hell knows who is fighting who let alone predict what is going to happen.

When he's sitting at that table, he's Iran's dummy.

Why would anybody waste their precious time providing you with even a shred of anything when everybody knows it will just generate another spewing of EIB chunks all over the forum?
