The IDF Southern Command has reportedly stepped up ground operations in Gaza, in anticipation of a ceasefire declaration in the near future. Senior officers said Thursday that there are probably no more than a few days until the end of the fighting.
According to the Arab sources, when that happens Iran will send money to assist Hamas in restoring its military capabilities, in addition to the more widely-publicized program of rebuilding destroyed homes.
Which leads to the obvious question: Why the hell are they stopping in “a few days?” And, worse, announcing it?


What’s happening on January 20, 2009, just “a few days” from now? There’s your answer. In fact, I’d bet that Operation Cast Lead took place now, and not later, for the same reason.
