Top General Expects 'Islamic Winter' (Israel)
INN ^ | 9/5/11 | Gavriel Queenann

IDF Home Front Command chief Maj. Gen. Eyal Eisenberg says the 'Arab Spring' may bring an 'Islamic Winter' - and War.

'Arab Spring' revolutions have destabilized the region and raised the likelihood of war, top general says.

"It looks like the Arab Spring, but it can also be a radical Islamic winter," IDF Home Front Command chief Major General Eyal Eisenberg said during a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv on Monday.

"This leads us to the conclusion that through a long-term process, the likelihood of an all-out war is increasingly growing," Eisenberg said.

"Iran has not abandoned its nuclear program. The opposite it true; it continues full steam ahead," he said.

"In Egypt, the army is collapsing under the burden of regular security operations, and this is reflected in the loss of control in the Sinai and the turning of the border with Israel into a terror border, with the possibility that Sinai will fall under the control of an Islamic entity."

"In Lebanon, Hezbollah is growing stronger within government arms, but it has not lost its desire to harm Israel, and the ties with Turkey aren't at their best," He added.

Not to mention Obama and the EU handing Libya over to Al Qaeda. What will they be able to do with a national government, Gadaffi’s WMDs, and oh yeat, billions of dollars in oil revenue?

Yep, if we had a real president they could stand up & say, “An attack on Israel will mean a nuke on Mecca!”

Obama will do nothing if Israel is attacked, not even re-supply of arms.

A real president wouldn’t have gone to Egypt and Saudi Arabia to kiss their *ssets.

Just a liar in Chief.
