"The Libyan regime is safe for the moment, I wish I could say the same about ours.  As a diplomatic overture, it strikes me as entirely circuitous."

[Little]

Little Sr. lets out a long sigh.

"Fine. Don't attempt to gain an ally to help us in the fight against Egypt."

Little Sr. glares at Mainiac for a moment, and then continues, voice dripping with sarcasm, "What do you suggest we do to win the war?"

[Servant Corps]

"I'm going to have to agree with mainiac. Libya isn't going to invade if our relations with them is good, they will only invade if their relations with Egypt is bad. Nothing Mossad has will be able to cause that to happen, we have to wait for a border dispute to intervene on our behalf.

I was defending Libya because I wanted to keep Libya stable. But Libya is stable enough. I thought Mossad's operations were free...but if they are not, no reason to waste the defense budget of Israel defending Libya.

The general consesus is that a nuke is good to defend against Syria, but we will not engage in a first-strike. I disagree with this position, but I realize I am in the minority, and I will give in, for the good of our nation. After all, unlike our enemies, we are a democracy."

EDIT:

What is the status of Palestine?  Does it become a separate nation, does it get added to Syria, or does it just get dropped?

Palestine get added to Syria. This gives Syria more territory, giving it a greater advantage in its war against Israel.

[Servant Corps]

Cabinet, Mossad has given us good news and bad news.


We do not have to worry about the Second Iranian-Iraqi War turning nuclear any time soon. Iran is slowly losing the war, and the pro-democrat insurgents are growing ever more stronger. We may overthrow the Iranian theocracy yet and finally establish a pro-Israeli democracy in this region.


We also have finally found a way to win the war against Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood Important 'high-profile' Pressure Groups within the Egyptian Religious Right, with the assistance of Mossad, has grown so powerful that we can order them to launch a Coup. Launching a coup is still risky at this stage though, because if the coup is launched premautrely, the Egyptian regime will destroy the insurgents. I will rather wait to fund the insurgents so that the country will collaspe on its own.

However, I am not sure that will work. We have been ordering Mossad to overthrow Lebanon for quite some time, to avoid a second-front problem, but even with massive Islamist protests in Lebanon, the government still hasn't fallen. I believe we may have to order our Pressure Groups in Egypt and Iran to overthrow their regimes, they will not be able to do so themselves.


We are almost near completion of our nuclear program. We will not have to worry about Israel getting bombed any time soon by Syria.



The bad news is the savings that is gained through not intervening in Libya is not enough to buy more tanks, or at least any more tanks that could sway the Battle. (This could also due to our current interventions in overthrowing Iran and Egypt as well. We has decided not to provide any assistance to Iraq, considering how successful they are in the fight). Right now in September, the war in Egypt is turning rather...badly for us.

How badly? Instead of Israel losing minor casualities, we now lose large casualities. I'm not so sure we could turn it around.

Since you are discussing the nuclear option, I would like to know if you would authorize a first-strike if the security of Israel is threatened by these massive casualites. We may be gaining the nuke during the Egyptian war after all. Otherwise, you could authorize Extreme Measures in Egypt and Iran. Extreme Measures in Iran are likely to be successful, due to Iran being fragile, but extreme measures in Egypt, much less so.

The United Nations is doing well in patching up tensions and preventing a war with Lebanon. But Lebanon has to increase tensions anyway by conducting a bombing campagin! (Are they fools?) Should we launch extreme measures on Lebanon, to prevent Syria from taking it over?

CURRENT STATUS:

[Little]

Little Sr. takes a long drag on his cigarette, deep in thought.

"If our country begins to tumble, I am against the First Strike policy. Just because we are losing a war to a hostile military power doesn't justify the use of a nuclear weapon, the attack killing millions of civilians just to make Egypt back down."

A quick puff on the cigarette...

"Prime Minister, do we have any evacuation plans? We might want to put these into effect, as well as having a way out for you. Personally, I'm not going to leave. I owe my country a lot. Hell, we've survived worse. I killed Egyptian troops in the Yom-Kipper War, which was our darkest hour, but I can't advocate the deaths of millions of civilians.

As for policy, try to keep everything organized. Push everything to the Egyptian front line in order to hold the lines while we begin consolidating and preparing our emergency procedures. We need them ready to go very soon..."

Little Sr. lets out a long sigh.

[Wild Goose]

"I'm also against first stike."

(A failed coup/extreme measures won't distract the Egyptians or make them pull troops away from the front?  Kinda like how we had the Palestinians back in Israel?
Do they/their citizens get any kind of war weariness?)

"I hate to lose the initiative, to go on the defensive, especially since the Egyptians will win a war of attrition, but it seems we have no other choice but to keep doing what we are doing; we don't seem to have any other options but to keep holding back the Egyptians, until we can get them to the peace table, get Libya to join us, or...we get desperate enough to use the Bomb."

"We might have to consider pushing the Egyptian opposition forces towards a coup."

[Little]

"I think that pushing them towards a coup and preparing for the worst would be the wisest option...Also, we should be able to destroy our nuclear weapons at a moment's notice. The last thing we want is the Egyptians to obtain our nukes as well as everything else."

[Servant Corps]

(A failed coup/extreme measures won't distract the Egyptians or make them pull troops away from the front?  Kinda like how we had the Palestinians back in Israel?
Do they/their citizens get any kind of war weariness?)

If we launch a coup, and the coup fails, the insurgency is automatically destroyed. Egypt will not get distracted. Their citizens do get war weariness, that's why the insurgency is so powerful to begin with.

Little, Wild Goose, I think Mossad handles policies on nuclear weapons destruction and evacuating Israel. Altough, well, I don't want to leave Israel for too long, you know. We fought long and hard for this land, and history will not forgive us if we let the Arabs take this land back.



Israel now has the nuclear bomb, thereby acting as a deterrent against Syria. I do not believe our test has been detected, so nobody knows we have the bomb.


I also have checked the status of our war with Egypt. While losses are dire and we are being defeated, we haven't lost any territory at all during the conflict...meaning that it is still a stalemate. American aid is really helpful in fighting the war.

Our nuke can allow us to end the war with Egypt at any time, with consquences to our relations with the US, and the possiblity of starting World War III. However, since our current policy is that we will not engage in a first-strike, and since we aren't exactly losing the war with Egypt, this possiblity is moot.

What it does mean that Israel will no longer have to worry about funding the nuclear program, and will now be able to spend more money buying US tanks. We have bought 200 American tanks this month.


Finally, I have decided to overthrow the Lebanon government. Lebanon and Syria stands on the brink of war, and I do not want Syria to be able to attack and destroy Lebanon, increasing its prestige further. Syria, after all, already controls both Jordan and Palestine.

Oh wait, I got a call. Please hold. Hello?

Is this the Israeli Prime Minister speaking?

Yes it is! How is the war against Iran?

Better than ever. Why haven't you launched the military coup against Iran yet. The insurgents are growing stronger every day now.

My intelligence agents believe that Iran still needs a bit more instability. You should see a military coup be attempted right around October, I promise.

Normally, I would accept this...but...our intelligence agencies has revealed evidence indicating that you are thinking of working with the Iranians.

That's nonsense. We would never sell out our own ally by working with Iranian Mullahs! After all, you are a democracy and not bordering us, and thus you are a valuable ally.

Then what about this?



We are waging a struggle against this corrupt Iranian backed organization called the Arab Freedom Fighters. A few months ago, you stopped supporting us in the struggle to batle the Arab Freedom Fighters...

...Because we needed more money to battle the Egyptians...

And then, right now, you started a military coup overthrowing Lebanon. Guess who now owns Lebanon?

Look. Mossad doesn't usually tell me everything. All they say is that the Group was "Ready For Action!" They didn't tell me what group was ready for action. Not my problem.

Not your problem? The Arab Freedom Fighters wishes to create a unified Arab nation based on Shia Islam. They also wish to wage perpetual war against ISRAEL! How dumb can Mossad get?

This is Lebanon we are talking about here. Lebanon isn't exactly a military superpower. If they overreact, we can go invade Lebanon. Not that hard.

Plus, they'll moderate their image. Lebanon is divided along sectrian lines. The Islamists know that they have to compromise their positions if they wish to keep power and receive foriegn aid from other countries. As long as they contain the Syrian menance and bring stability to Lebanon, the Islamists are fine by me.

And you wonder why most people in the Middle East hates Israel.

Yeah, actually, I do wonder. Can you tell me why---Oh he hung up. Okay.


Yes, yes, yes! Lower oil prices will help the econ---

Hey Israel. You know that great alliance between Syria and Iraq? It's going down in flames.

Looks like I have to go and overthrow Iran. You are winning the war against Iran, but you will not be able to win a two-front war against Syria. What caused the youth clash in the first place?

Some Iraqi youths staged a protest when Syria recognized the Arab Freedom Fighters as the legtiminate government of Lebanon and offered military aid to the new regime. After all, we were afraid said military aid would be used against Iraq. It then sort of boiled over from there.

Iraq, send your ambassador over to Tel Aviv, now. We're going to have a long talk with Syria.

Okay, Cabinet? Syria's insurgency is so strong we can take extreme measures. One sort of extreme measure, Assassination, is dependent on our relationship with Syria. The greater our relationship with Syria, the more likely Mossad can use its connections within Syria to murder some powerful men. Our relatonship with Syria is at a maximum. Let put it this way: Do you think we should murder the Syrian Prime Minister?

[Little]

Little Sr. almost bursts out laughing.

"It hardly needs to be asked! Of course we shouldn't! We need to save that option for later, and focus our attention on fighting the Egyptians and disrupting the influence of the Arab Freedom Fighters, who have the potential to mutate into a real threat with our enemies backing them."

Little Sr. thinks deeply...

"But then again, it would be eliminating Syria...If Mossad can prevent the region from falling into the wrong hands, feel free to take a shot at it."

[Wild Goose]

We get our aid checks in December, right?  Do you think we can hold out that long?

Will assassinating the Syrian Prime Minister set back their Nuclear program.

"Well...we can always assassinate the next one, too."

[Little]

"Well, if we kill the Syrian Prime Minister, it could topple the country..."

[Servant Corps]

Let me stress again. We cannot keep engaging in this needless boycott of the Arab Freedom Fighters of Lebanon. Engagement is necessary, if we wish to bring this political movement into the democratic fold.

Syria, we cannot engage with jihadists. They need to be rooted out like the scum they are...

You haven't even tried talking to them. You didn't even know they even existed on your borders until Mossad told you that they gave money to the organization. You do not take any realistic view of the complexities within the Middle East.

Syria, the Arab Freedom Fighters as a whole poses a direct threat to the security of the entire Middle East. You aren't 'engaging' them, you are providing valuable military training to them. The Arab Freedom Fighters was planning to attack my own country! And when peaceful Iraqi Protesters were attacked by these very Arab Freedom Fighters...

...You only swear vengence, as opposed to merely asking for me to bring those people to justice.

I don't want a war, of all things, to develop. Just a few months ago, you have left the Arab League to chart a new course, the course of a Democratic Alliance, to bring democracy throughout the Middle East and finally put an end to the chaos. We have spent tons of money in fighting the Egyptian and Iranian terrorist regimes, as well as finally bringing democracy into Jordan. I do not want this alliance to collaspe.

My nation would not think about jeopardizing our relationship with the United States. Neither would Iraq. But we also have a very close relationship in Lebanon, and an interest in seeking for the stability of Lebanon. If that means dealing with the Arab Freedom Fighters of Lebanon, so be it.

I will not let Syria get a blank check in funding terrorism. Cut your relations with the Arab Freedom Fighters of Lebanon, or I will...



Invade us? Your country got done fighting the Persians, just before a rather mysterious military coup overthrew the Mullahs! You won't be so lucky to survive a war with the Syrian armed forces. If you attack us, we wish push forward.

I am legally obligated on behalf of my close friendship with the USA to act as a impartial intermeditary in order to resolve the dispute between Syria and Iraq. I am legally obligated to also demand that we must work together for peace and democracy within the Middle East. I hope that the war will be quick and over soon.

Yeah, well, that won't happen.

I'm trying to get the 4 billion dollars in US aid here. At least pretend to work with me.


Also, I would also like to point out that, in a month's time, another mysterious coup will occur, this time in Egypt. The Egyptian regime will collaspe, and the new government will have to sue for peace with Israel. This is just going to be good news for you, Israel.

Indeed, very good news. 1997 was a terrible year, of a never-ending war between Egypt and Israel. I am so glad that this war will end in Janurary 1998 thanks to this mysterious military coup.

No problem. We're just taking out a common enemy.

Oh, and Israel? Don't even bother trying to lie to me now.

Huh?



Mossad was planning on conducting several terrorist activities, such as planning to assassinate me, the Prime Minister of Syria. We found out who was planning the terrorist attacks, and halted them in their tracks.

Oh...oh really? My god. Rogue Mossad agents? I, I have no idea. Good thing you stopped them. Who helped you out in stopping these rogue Mossad agents?

The CIA obivously. Why not talk to them, if you are so interested on the details?

...

Yes, what do you want?

...Syria said you foiled terrorist attacks that was being ploted by ROGUE Mossad Agents NOT following direct orders from the Israeli PM.

Yes. We got spies everywhere, even within Mossad. We have to keep a track on affairs in the Middle East. We know you gave those orders to conduct a terrorist attack on Syria.

I am worried that Syria will use a nuclear bomb on Israel. I thought that all I have to do is kill off their Prime Minister, thereby causing a civil war between the contenders that would end up destroying their nuclear bomb project, thereby saving Israel from the Syrian threat. With Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria all mired in internal conflicts, Israel would not have to worry any more about external foes. I was being patroitic, I was being heroic, I was...

...being just like Tarek Talaat Moustafa.

Wait, him? The guy who killed our previous Prime Minister? There is a difference. Tarek was an aggressor backed by the Egyptian dictatorship, who was committing a grevious terrorist attack on Israel to destroy our very country! We were merely defending ourselves from a nation who is very friendly to us, but who may turn on us in far-off future.

That would be more convicing if you didn't beg every month to Libya to go in and invade Egypt. Tarek murdered your Prime Minister under the orders of Libya.



Wait, you didn't know? Thought it was so bleeding obivous. Hisham Talaat Moustafa and Tarek Talaat Moustafa were Egyptians, but they were receiving valuable assistance and money from Libya. It was all Gaddfi's idea for Tarek to kill your PM.

But why would Libya seek to cause a war between Egypt and Israel, the two countries Libya hates the most?

I just answered my own question, did I?

Libya didn't want to intervene in the war, because it still wanted to see Israel bleed a little bit more. But even then, the operation by Libya was a success. One entire year has been wasted in a pointless war, and Libya's prestige within the international community improved a little bit.

Where's Tarek now?

He's enjoying a cosy retirement in France. But that's not the important thing. Your planning of terrorist attacks is rather callous and uncalled for. You are just as barbaric and immoral as the Libyans are, and we will treat you as such.


Normally, we would give you 4 billion dollars. But because you are a terrorist nation, you lose 1 billion dollars. So, you only get 3 billion dollars.

But...but...but...

Reform your behavior, and that billion dollars will be yours.

Reform our behavior? We are upstanding members of the International Community, and we will do whatever it takes to defend ourselves against any nation that seek to oppose us. Your actions will likely harm our very close relationship.

I'm not sure if America wants to be associated with Israel, considering its current actions.



People of Israel! Anti-Semites within the United States of America has conspired to place sanctions on our fair country, causing our country to lose one billion dollars! They claim that Israel is sponsoring terrorism, when in reality, we have always been the victims of terrorism! Because of these terrible sanctions, we are forced to resort to desperate measures, to defend our country against the Arab Freedom Fighters of Lebanon. We are increasing the size of our national military, and we will ram through a 2% budget increase for the military!

Anyway...since I got nothing better to do...Let me contact Mossad and find out who now runs Iran and Egypt, now that the old regimes has been wiped away due to the mysterious military coups...



Egypt is now being run by the Death Heads Reborn, a rather nationalistic coalition of forces that was united only by their hatred of Egypt. Some of them are Islamists like the Muslim Brotherhood. Other are them are Liberal Democrats. They do agree on having a strong armed forces though. Oh, and they agree with a truce with Israel while they settle their differences. Phew.



So instead of having Islamic fundmentalists, I now have Chrisitan fundmentalists. Led by the resurrected Jesus Christ. Who was busy leading a rebellion in Libya but decided to move over to Iran...

I'm going to need better spies.



This is our current relatonship screen. It is Jan. 1998. The war between Iraq and Syria is 2 months old. Syria is winning the war. We have provided military aid to Iraq, but has not affected our relationship with Syria. Iraq is not building a nuclear bomb, but Syria is...so Syria may spark a nuclear war in the region.

Syria is our only threat in the region. Should we wait on the sidelines, and hope Iraq and Syria gets in a stalemate? Should we break our alliance, and hope that we can lower relations enough so we can invade Syria ourselves? We are sponsoring the insurgent groups, but Syria is still as strong as ever.

[Little]

Little Sr. grins, a rare smile breaking out across his face.

"I'd never thought I'd say this, but thank God for Mossad. For all their screw-ups, they collapsed Egypt. Now all we need to do is attempt to assassinate the Syrian Prime Minister, and then the month after that start lowering relations. Once we are able to, bomb their nuclear facilities. Then place troops on the border and keep pissing off Syria, and then we attack. Throughout this, constantly build up military strength. It'd be great if the Syria-Iaq war was still going on, but it isn't necessary for victory."

[mainiac]

Moussad's success against Egypt is fantastic news.  I believe they are our best hope concerning Syria as well.  While we might hope that Iraq might eliminate the Syrian menace, there is the constant risk of Syria starting a global nuclear war.  This is a risk we must do our utmost to prevent.  Therefore, Moussad must undermine the regime in Iraq.  If Syria faces no opposition, they will have no temptation to start a world ending nuclear conflict.  At the same time, we should start to undermine the regime in Syria.  Once these corrupt dictators are eliminated, we will finally have created security for our nations.

In the meantime, cigars seem in order.

[Little]

"But if we went to war with Syria, we could cripple their nuclear capability and help Iraw age against them."
