US, Israel in open rift over Iran: Big joint military drill cancelled
Debka ^ | January 15, 2012, | Debka

US-Israeli discord over action against Iran went into overdrive Sunday, Jan. 15 when the White House called off Austere Challenge 12, the biggest joint war game the US and Israel have every staged, ready to go in spring, in reprisal for a comment by Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Moshe Yaalon in an early morning radio interview. He said the United States was hesitant over sanctions against Iran's central bank and oil for fear of a spike in oil prices.....

DEBKAfile's military sources report that a third aircraft carrier and strike group, the USS Abraham Lincoln, is also on its way to the Persian Gulf. This massive military buildup indicates that either President Obama rates the odds of an Israel attack as high and is bolstering the defenses of US military assets against Iranian reprisals - or, alternatively, that the United States intends to beat Israel to the draw and attack Iran itself.

That my friend, rings of the highest probability.

He is neck deep in his M/B agenda on behalf of his brethren which is tacitly anti Israel.

The anti American president at work.

our media no longer can be called biased, they are beyond that- they are propagandists
