Full-scale Middle East war is 'imminent', warns Israeli general
The Telegraph ^ | 06 Sep 2011 | Phoebe Greenwood
The commander of Israel's Home Front issued a stark warning on Monday that the Middle East is headed for a full-scale, multi-front war that would see the use of weapons of mass destruction.
"After the Arab Spring, we predict that a winter of radical Islam will arrive," Major-General Eyal Eisenberg told a press conference in Tel Aviv.
"As a result the possibility for a multi-front war has increased, including the potential use of weapons of mass destruction."
But yesterday Israel's Defence Minister Ehud Barak did his best to discredit General Eisenberg's dramatic prediction.
While touring the Syrian border in Israel's north he said he could see no reason for Israel's adversaries to launch a large-scale conflict. "I am also convinced that none of our enemies will dare use chemical weapons against Israel, not now and not in the future," he added.
General Eisenberg himself took to Israeli army radio to explain that his comments had been taken out of context. He maintained, however, that the threat of a Middle Eastern conflict was increasing and pointed to strained relations between Israel and Turkey as a cause of further instability.

Maybe it was Obama's Saudi handlers from Junior High who set this whole ball rolling.
