Iranian officials want to attack Israel now
Cross Action News ^ | 10-22-08 | Israel Today Staff

An influential group of Iranian officials are lobbying the leadership in Tehran to launch a preemptive missile strike against the Jewish state, Ha’aretz quoted one of those officials as saying during a briefing of foreign diplomats in London recently.

Dr. Seyed Safavi, a top advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, told his audience that he and others like him want Iran to attack Israel before the latter has an opportunity to follow through on threats to hit Iran’s nuclear facilities.

He said that Israel’s insistence on keeping the military option for dealing with Iran’s nukes on the table had bolstered the preemptive strike argument, but that Khamenei had yet to adopt it as official policy.

This to me is what Joe Biden was talking about. Obama would not defend Israel with a retaliatory strike from the US. He would let Israel defend itself.

Exactly. Come Jan 20, 2009, Israel will be on their own.

Any chance that Obama has already gotten the word of this to them?

Obama will blame Israel. Palestinians...Hamas and company, were in DC about two years ago with a wish list. NPR interviewed them, of course, and they even had a half hour on C-Span.

They expect the US to install a Palestinian state and get it up and running from soup to nuts. Full infrastructure, fully educated, teach them how to run a state, maintain it, pour sand in a hole, whatever they need as long as it takes. US govt. (taxpayers), will pay ad infinitum.

Including any and all munitions and an army of US soldiers if needed, to protect the innocent Palestinians from evil Israeli’s, if any Jews are still alive and kicking in the Middle East. Obama and pals will sign on to this asap.

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking." Biden added, "Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. And he's gonna have to make some really tough -- I don't know what the decision's gonna be, but I promise you it will occur."
Biden’s Idea of the first six months in office. The question is whether or not Obama/Biden are fit for leading America!
Is Joe Biden trying to scare us into voting for McCain?
Maybe Obama needs to drop Biden and Pick up Colin Powell.

This is a necessary step, I believe, on the road to history.

0bama will leave Israel blowing in the wind. This allows Russia and Iran to create an official military alliance along with a few other ME states. Watch for Egypt and Iraq to sit this one out.

Once it is determined that we will not aid Israel against her enemies, Russia and Iran will move against her.

They (Russia and Iran) will be wiped out. Iraq will emerge as the ME powerhouse due to the economic aid we've been funneling into Baghdad. The US will sink into obscurity due to our leadership's unwillingness to get involved.

I think Jesse Jackson spoke out of turn but really informed Israel what an Obama administration would be like. He said that Obama would not support the Zionist state as we have done previously. That leaves Israel out there to defend itself. That lack of support will incite their enemies.

If Obama wins and Israel is not suicidal, there will be a major, perhaps nuclear, war between Israel and Iran before Christmas.

Otherwise, when the shooting starts, Obama will side with Iran. After Iran and the US are done with Israel (if Iran survives), Iran and perhaps Russia will turn on us.

Obama will be "tested," and will fail the test, in much less than 6 months.

It would be interesting, to say the least, how the populace would react if that turns out to be the case.

Did you hear Bidens remarks? He said we are going to need your support because it is not going to be apparent that we have made the right decision. In other words the public will be outraged.
