Time magazine's ominous article on how WW III could begin in the Mideast:

The Lebanon - Israeli border and the "worst case scenario"...

"Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the Third World War." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1981

(Note: TLDM has come across the following articles indicating that Syrian-backed Hizbullah terrorists may be ready to open up a second front against Israeli. President Bush has given Syria a "non-negotiable" deadline to pull all of its troops and agents out of Lebanon by May 2005. He stated that if Syria does not comply, "my last choice is military." Several years ago Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s secretary-general, admitted that his fighters were “getting fully ready for direct military intervention from Lebanon” to assist the Palestinian intifada. Commenting on the redeployment of Syrian troops,  Amin Gemayel, former Lebanese President (Christian Opposition) stated, "What is dangerous is this deployment on the borders. We have information that the Syrian army will stay in the mountain range within the Lebanese border." We may be horribly close to the fulfillment of Our Lady's prophecy concerning Syria. The opening of this second front is "the worst-case scenario," mentioned by both Time magazine and Newsmax).

Time magazine: Worst-Case Scenario - www.time.com  April 4, 2002

The potential disaster: how the crisis could push the region's armies into a conflict beyond their control
How would it begin? In one grim scenario, it would start with Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, who is in the most exposed position of all. His controlled media have long been replete with fervent anti-Israeli propaganda in a deliberate attempt to deflect attention from corruption and mismanagement at home. Endless television replays of the most brutal scenes of the Israeli occupation have hammered home the message that Egypt's most urgent concern is the plight of the Palestinians. At the same time, what is still a military-based regime justifies large expenditures on the armed forces amid extreme poverty by boasting of their strength. Mubarak therefore risks becoming the prisoner of his own propaganda: If Palestine is all-important and Egypt that strong, why not use its strength against the Israelis? The least dangerous Egyptian move would be disastrous in its consequences. Violating Anwar Sadat's peace treaty, cutting itself off from vital U.S. aid, the Egyptian army could send part of its vast forces--say, the four tank divisions and eight mechanized divisions with 1,600 battle tanks, including first-line U.S. M1A1s--into the Sinai peninsula to threaten the Israeli frontier. Compelling the Israelis to mobilize their own army, which would very likely freeze any further action against the Palestinians, would make sense as a piece of military gamesmanship. But strategically it would be catastrophic, because if the Egyptians acted, Syria's young and insecure President Bashar Assad would most likely feel compelled to compete with them by sending his own armored forces--seven divisions with 2,000 tanks--to threaten the Golan frontier. And then even King Abdullah of Jordan, who greatly values his peace treaty with Israel, might come under irresistible pressure from his Palestinian subjects to send his two armored and two mechanized divisions, equipped with some 700 tanks, opposite the Jordanian frontier.  http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020408/scenario.html

Lebanese-Israeli Border Brimming With Tension

Dave Eberhart, NewsMax, Wednesday, April 3, 2002:
A terrorist squad, April 2, opened fire on Israeli vehicles traveling close to the Lebanese border. Although Israeli security authorities said there was no indication of a terrorist infiltration from the northern border, they did not rule out the possibility that the attack was planned in Lebanon.
    Lending credibility to the Lebanon connection, Israeli intelligence sources reportedly gleaned just hours before the firefight that the Hezbollah was planning an attack in the north in the hope of "igniting the northern front.” It was also learned that Hezbollah sought to conduct "solidarity” operations with the Palestinians -- hoping to pull Israel into fighting on the northern border....
    The worst-case scenario, as seen by Middle East watchers: a movement of Palestinian fighters toward the Israeli-Lebanon border, potentially joining forces with Hezbollah militants already itching to fight Israel again.  Despite the expectation of devastating retaliations by Israel, the weak, Syrian-dominated Lebanese government may not be able to stem the war beat vitalized by the Israeli–Palestinian bloodletting. Enter a wider conflict in the region. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2002/4/3/60645.shtml

Bush gives Syria 'non-negotiable' deadline: Demands withdrawal of troops, secret service from Lebanon by May, WorldNetDaily, March 4, 2005

President Bush has given Syria a "non-negotiable" deadline to pull all of its troops and agents out of Lebanon by May to pave the way for free parliamentary elections.
     "The subject that is most on my mind right now is getting Syria out of Lebanon, and I don't mean just the troops out of Lebanon, I mean all of them out of Lebanon, particularly the secret service out of Lebanon -- the intelligence services," he told members of the New York Post editorial board in an interview yesterday.
     "This is non-negotiable. It is time to get out. ... I don't think you can have fair elections with Syrian troops there," Bush continued.
     When asked by the Post whether he would back the deadline up with a threat of military action, Bush responded "no" but then appeared to leave the door open.
     "The 'or else' is further isolation from the world," he told the paper, adding, "You know, the president should never take any options off the table, [but] my last choice is military."  http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43154

Assad Announces Lebanon Troop Withdrawal - Fox News, March 5, 2005

President Bashar Assad, responding to weeks of intense pressure, announced Saturday that Syria would move its troops to the Lebanese-Syrian border in a two-step pullback that he said should satisfy international demands for a complete pullout.
     It was not clear whether Assad meant he would keep some troops within Lebanon's border, but a Syrian Cabinet minister said later that a withdrawal would be complete and will be "in the nearest possible time."
     "We will withdraw our forces stationed in Lebanon fully to the Bekaa region (in the east) and later to the Lebanese-Syrian border areas," he said in a carefully worded address, drawing cheers from legislators in the chamber and the thousands of Syrian supporters listening outside the building.  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,149500,00.html

U.S.: Syria Pledge Not Enough, Fox News, March 5, 2005

Keeping up the pressure on Syria, the United States on Saturday strongly criticized President Bashar Assad for announcing only a partial pullback of his troops from Lebanon.
     "President Assad's announcement is not enough," the State Department said in a statement issued hours after the Syrian leader made the pledge in a speech to parliament.
     "As President Bush said Friday, when the United States and France say withdraw, we mean complete withdrawal — no halfhearted measures," the statement said.
     Assad said in Damascus that Syria gradually would pull troops back eastward to the Syrian border.
     Bush has said that anything less than a complete withdrawal of 15,000 Syrian troops and intelligence services by May — when parliamentary elections in Lebanon are to be held — would be an unacceptable "half-measure." France, Britain, Germany and Saudi Arabia have made the same demand.  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,149519,00.html

Lebanon border tensions raise second-front fear - April 4, 2002

United Nations peacekeepers in southern Lebanon say that tensions on the border are rising to boiling point, with Hezbollah guerrilla fighters appearing determined to open a second front against Israel.  As far as Hezbollah’s fighters are concerned, it is only a matter of time.
    “We don’t know when it will start. Only God knows that. But it will happen,” one unarmed fighter said as he gazed at the massive walls of an Israeli Army compound on the windswept summit of Sheikh Abbad hill.
    A spate of attacks along the volatile frontier since Saturday, including the first missile strike into northern Israel in almost two years, has provoked fears that the long-expected second front may have already begun.  Timur Goksel, veteran spokesman for the UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon, said that the border district “could boil over at any minute.” “It’s all going in a very wrong, very scary, direction,” he said. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,3-256603,00.html

Lebanon-Israel border clashes in second day - April 3, 2002

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- Fears of another battle front for Israel increased Wednesday as Hezbollah forces clashed with Israeli troops for the second consecutive day along the Lebanon-Israel border near the disputed Golan Heights....
    Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has said Lebanon has no intention of opening a war front along its border with Israel, but the latest violence in that area came as Syria announced it would redeploy a substantial number of its forces inside Lebanon.  http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/meast/04/03/lebanon.fighting/

Hezbullah forces massing on the Lebanon-Israeli border - April 2, 2002 Fox News

Israel warned Syria and Lebanon on Tuesday [April 2, 2002] that there could be "very serious consequences" if Hezbollah forces do not withdraw quickly from what it says is a buildup of troops along its northern border.  "Israel has told a number of European countries, including Italy, that it is concerned about what appears to be a massing of Hezbollah forces on its northern border with Lebanon," a senior Italian foreign ministry official told the Reuters news agency in Rome. 
    "We have passed onto Syria and Lebanon that Israel says that if there is no disengagement, then the Israeli response could be very serious," he said.  http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,49323,00.html

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

"Syria has the key to the solution of world peace or the Third World War." - Our Lady, May 30, 1981

SYRIA  HOLDS  THE  KEY
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Syria holds the key to peace at this time. However, I place in front of you, My children, a graphic picture for you to understand. It will be a parable for some, and some will turn away not willing to hear what Heaven has to say in these desperate times."
    Veronica - Our Lady is pointing up with Her finger, like this, to Her right side, and high above Her the sky is opening up—all the clouds are floating away and the sky is opening up and I see a map of the Mideast. And then Our Lady is pointing up farther and that's another map of China and Russia. Our Lady is turning back now: She was looking upward also.
    Our Lady - "My child and My children, there are scoffers who will say there shall not be a Third World War. They do not know and cannot conceive of the plan of the Eternal Father. Be it known now that the Father has great heart for all His children, but when the sin reaches a peak only known to the Father the amount of sin among mankind, then the Father will take action." - May 28, 1983 

YOU  REFUSE  TO  LOOK
Our Lady - "O My children, I warned you many years ago, I warned you in Fatima that, unless you prayed and did penance, Russia and the agents of the sickle and the hammer would go throughout the world cutting down nations and bringing death, destruction, and slavery.
   "And you, My country, America the beautiful, you are all-wise but stupid in management, for you have the picture of your coming destruction right before your face and you refuse to look." -  April 2, 1977

WORLD  WAR  III  
Veronica -  . . . Our Lady now is looking down sadly. And I see She's pointing now to what looks like a map. Oh, my!
     Now as I am watching—it's a map of... oh, I can see Jerusalem, and Egypt, Arabia, French Morocco, Africa. Oh, my goodness! There seems to be a very dense darkness now settling upon those countries. Oh, my!
     And Our Lady is saying:
Our Lady - "The start of the Third World War, My child." - March 29, 1975  

GATHERING  AT  PALESTINE
Veronica - And oh, oh! And over by the top of the steeple, I see Saint Francis over there, by--over the top of the church there's Saint Francis. Oh, and he's picking up this bird; He's holding the bird in his hand, the bird. The bird looks like it might have died; its very limp. And Saint Francis now is placing his hand over the bird. No, it's sitting up in Saint Francis' hand, and Saint Francis is pointing over, over to the right side. He wants me to look over the right side.
   He--oh, I see. He's pointing over, and over the right side is a map. And he said peace also will be denied the areas shown. Oh, dear! I can see Egypt, and I see, oh, Asia. Oh, I see a lot of people there; they're all marching. They look like, kind of like Chinese . . . Chinese. And oh, they're getting ready for war. They've got all these tanks . . . all these tanks. And they're all marching, the armies; there's a whole lot of them. There's so many of them! Many of them look like young children, but there's so many of them. Oh! And Our Lady said:
   Our Lady - "They are gathering their strength."
   Veronica - I know that's China, and all these kind of--I guess yellow countries. Our Lady's placing--She's writing "Y-E-L-L-O-W" on the top, right over the map there. And oh, it looks like they're getting ready for an awful war or something. They're--oh, yes, they're all marching. Oh, oh. They're all dressed alike; they're very, very . . . Oh, there's women, too. There's women, too, that are marching with them, and the girls--the girls look very young; they look very young.
   Oh! Oh! Oh, now over them I see--oh-h . . . oh, it's Russia! I see Russia now is talking. Oh, they're at a big desk, a rather large desk. And that . . . umh! At the desk I can see . . . I know he's Russian. But sitting next to him . . . looks like someone I have seen before, like . . . I don't know . . . looks almost like Mr. Kissinger . . . I don't know. But he's sitting at the desk also, and it looks like they're planning; they're talking about . . . arms or support. I think there's going to be something going on. And Russia is going to . . . I think it sounds like they're going to fight. They're going to fight-oh, it's Egypt. I think they're going to go to war against Egypt and Africa. And--oh! And then Our Lady said:
   Our Lady - "Gathering at Palestine. Gathering at Palestine." - May 30, 1973

ALREADY YOUR SONS ARE BEING SENT TO BE THERE WITH THE INVASION
Our Lady - "Wars are a punishment for man's sins. Already your sons are being sent to be there with the invasion in the Mideast. Is this what you want, My children? Can you not give your prayers and acts of reparation for those who have no one to pray for them? They are all Our sheep and We wish that they would be gathered into a holy land. The word 'holy' strikes a chord of misery, My child; I have no way to explain but to tell you, misery."  - May 25, 1983

WAR  IN  THE  MIDEAST
Veronica - There is a great war ahead. It will coincide with the war in the Mideast.  - February 17, 1974
