US sends heavy armor to Gulf as campaign grows...

Signs that preparations for a new Gulf War are well under way were highlighted yesterday when America stepped up the movement of heavy amour to the Gulf. The US Navy has booked a giant commercial transporter to take tanks, artillery, ammunition and back-up vehicles to the region. It is the third shipment of arms and military hardware in a month using commercial shipping. Military analysts said it showed the US Navy had probably exhausted the capacity of its own fleet and resorted to the open market. The shipment is the latest step in a process that has continued while public debate ebbs and flows over an attack.

Military commanders in America and Britain have been highly skeptical of the arguments put forward by hawks in the Bush administration for another Gulf conflict. But they have also been aware that George Bush is likely to plump for war and they will have to produce a plan that would win it with the lowest number of allied casualties. This time around the strategists face more constraints, primarily antipathy to an attack launched from Arab states that backed the war against Saddam Hussein 10 years ago. The most important dissenter is Saudi Arabia. The decision by the West's staunchest Arab ally in the region to veto the use of its territory for an attack on Iraq has meant the planning has had to be modified.

Saudi Arabia was the launch-pad for Western forces in the Gulf War and played an important role in later actions against Iraq. American and British warplanes still use the kingdom to patrol the southern no-fly zone. But now Washington and London find they cannot use the 500-mile Saudi-Iraq border for a main armored land thrust. Nor can they use the technically advanced Prince Sultan air base, set up to be a nerve centre for precisely this kind of air war. FA-18 Hornets

A replacement for Prince Sultan has been found at Al-Udeid, in Qatar, which has been the scene of a concerted US construction programmed. The base has a 12,500ft runway and hangars, fortified against chemical and biological attacks, for 120 aircraft. There are four warehouses with enough tanks and armor for a mechanized brigade.

Kuwait has also expressed disquiet about an attack on Iraq. But it is likely to be the place from which the West would attack in the south. Al-Jaber air base already hosts dozens of USAF F-117 Stealth fighters, A-10 Thunderbolts, FA-18 Hornets and F-16s. Another air base, Ali al-Salem, is used by RAF Tornados. Thirty-five miles from the Iraqi border is the Kuwaiti military complex, an obvious base for land operations. America has 8,000 troops already stationed there and there is space for another 30,000. The cutting edge of the amour would be provided by the US Army's Abrams tanks and Britain's Challenger IIs. But the British tanks would have to be refitted for desert conditions, at an estimated cost of £90m.

A northern attack into Iraq would be likely to come through Turkey. Ankara has also spoken out against a war, but the Americans believe it will come on board. The air base at Incirlik holds US F-16s and RAF Jaguars, and is used to patrol the northern no-fly zone. Western troops might be able to set up in the semi- autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, but there are political and diplomatic sensitivities over the area. USAF F-117 Stealth fighters

Bahrain would be an ideal base for air and naval operations. The RAF used it extensively during the Gulf War, and would want to do so again if the ruler can be persuaded to join an anti-Saddam coalition. As the Afghan campaign has shown, America is able, with air-to-air refueling provided by the British, to mount sustained bombing raids with its B-52, B-1 and B-2 Stealth aircraft. The British Indian Ocean base at Diego Garcia is a prime launch-pad, but the USAF is also able to fly directly from its home bases. A war against Iraq would also be likely to involve more use of unmanned aircraft. Global Hawks can be launched from both Diego Garcia and America, while the smaller Predators have to be based locally.

Facing this, Iraq has about 300,000 troops, 100,000 of whom are better equipped and led by the Republican Guard. Its armored strength comprises about 2,000 ageing Russian tanks. The air force has about 300 jets, also elderly, and several dozen Scud B missiles. Strategists believe President Saddam would be likely to deploy his troops in built-up areas to maximize the difficulty for an attacker of avoiding civilian casualties. As a last resort, he might even use chemical weapons.

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

The Middle East crisis will worsen...
Our Lady - "The Middle East crisis will worsen. My Heart is torn with sorrow for what lies ahead. I cry for the mothers of these lost sons. I cry for the mothers of these broken bodies. Pray to hold back the engulfment that lies ahead. Pray always, a constant vigil of prayer. I will give you many signs so that you will not be unaware." (5-25-83)

Your sons being sent to Mideast...
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.
    "Yes, My child, you have never seen but on the screen of your box, war. You have never felt the loss of one in war, though, My child, forgive Me if I brought a bit of sadness to your heart. Your son was removed for his own salvation. Other parents will have to face a similar occurrence in their homes. But should they have the knowledge and the truth in the supernatural they will understand that Heaven has chosen them to leave this vale of tears and return to Heaven from whence they first came.
There will be a Third World War...
"My child, you will see that the Message goes throughout the world. Do not be slowed down in your endeavors by scoffers, those who say there will not be a Third World War. Are they God? Oh, no, they will know what it is to see blackened bodies along the roadside, their children, stomachs distended with starvation. 'This cannot happen here in the United States.' I hear voices saying. O My children, it will! Your crops will rot. Your children will be barred from their own homes because they have become a source of murder." (5-28-83)

Only what they want you to know...
Veronica - Now I see a great field with a darkness hanging over this field and there are many many crosses stretching as far as the eye can see.
   Our Lady - "My child, you are witnessing the many who shall die in the Great War. Already the forces are working to the consummation of this Great World War, My child. Do not be deceived by the editorials, by your newspapers that have now been controlled by these forces for you will only be given the knowledge of what they want you to know. It is often concealing the truth." (7-24-76)

Many mothers to lose their sons...
Our Lady - "Many mothers shall face in the world calamity the loss of their sons. Many shall truly join Me upon the Cross."
Veronica - I see, it looks like a large field. Oh, it's like a countryside because there are mountains and I am looking down now upon a river...Oh, no, it's more like a lake because I can see all the foliage and the trees around it, but down now over in the woods there are many, many crosses - crosses white - washed, painted white.
    Now I am looking down and now I'm walking among these crosses and they do not have names upon the crosses.
    Our Lady - "My child, look and weep with Me, for you are witnessing the total destruction that will come upon mankind in the great War, your Third World War. So many will die, My child, that there will not be time to mark the graves.
"Mothers shall long to see and know where their sons lie but to no avail! This comfort shall not be given to them, so great will be the loss of life! Can you not turn back now and beg the forgiveness of the Eternal Father before it is too late? Are you so blind to the truth, My children, that you do not see the road you are traveling on?" (3-29-75)

England is to be watched. It is a conspiracy...
Veronica again saw the Eagle. The Demons had made a straight path up from Hell. They are trying to push the Eagle from behind. They are trying to push the Eagle over the edge. I see a Power, England, but I cannot fully understand the involvement with Satan. They pretend to be friends. They are to be watched. It is a conspiracy. It is the uniting of the forces to destroy the United States! They are doing their work well so far...But Our Mother stresses the Power of Prayer to hold back the darkness. These are desperate times. Do not be deceived by the momentary cries of peace. I see the false prophets increasing in number, cunning in their deceit, even to the Elect!

I see serpents lashing their tongues out in every direction...
At this time, Veronica was given in vision:
    Veronica - "I see the floor of the Chamber of the Gathering of Nations, the United Nations, but I do not see faces behind the desks. I see serpents lashing their tongues out in every direction. Where is the godhead in this group? What is their true purpose as they play with lives of millions? Liars! Liars, sent by the father of all liars, Satan!"
    Our Lady - "Trust not in the ways of man, but place your full trust in your God! Many materials, destructive to the soul are being shipped here from England. These soul destroyers are included in the practice of witchcraft and devil worship!"
    "Who opened the doors to this brood of vipers?.." (12-31-70)

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now! (Order Form) Yours and your loved ones salvation could depend on it.
    Read the Bible cover to cover. If you read 4 chapters a day, you will complete the whole Bible in 334 days. I have read the Bible 2 times and working on the third time. A 75 year old Baptism gentleman told me that he and his wife have read the Bible nine times. Wow!

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well.
