“bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities later this year.” Way to spill the beans UPI!

Gulf rulers are fearful Israel's new government, headed by the tough, uncompromising Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, will walk away from any possibility of a Palestinian solution.

Israel is on a roll that needs to be maintained!

Kudos to the Prime Minister.

Sure. Iran will be easier to deal with now than later. The longer Israel waits, the tougher it is going to be to make a decisive strike.

Of course, the experts in Israel’s military know this.

The National Terrorist Forecast Service calls for intermittent rocket storms followed by swarms of speedboats.

Nearby populations and shipping should take appropriate precautions.

The National Terrorist Forecast Service projects 3 days of severe activity, followed by more sporadic and localized terrorist events.

The fact that a far left Israeli leader like Peres is threatening military action is clearly a sign that time is getting short now.

If it’s true that Israel won’t strike without the approval of the US, then it won’t strike. BO will not approve that decision. But, I don’t believe that. Israel won’t have a choice other than to strike. It’s just a matter of time and opportunity now.

as soon as it becomes clear the mullahs won’t agree to surrender their nuclear option at upcoming six-power talks. The United States and Iran will be at the same negotiating table — along with China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany —

Since the North Koreans have already told the Six Power talks to go to hell, I see no reason for the Iranians to
suddenly become compliant.

Probably what Biden was talking about when he warned democrat donors Zero would face a challenge and they’d have to bear with Zero. But, which way they’d have to tolerate Zero, whether in support of action against Iran or abandoning Israel, Biden did not make clear.

Makes Obama’s obsequience before Saudi King more important.

But, he added, this cannot be done without the United States.

Which won't happen with an Obama White House.

"Iran could also jeopardize an orderly U.S. military exit from neighboring Iraq in 2010. The two countries fought a war from 1980-1988 that killed about 1 million soldiers from both countries"

This is impossible.

Everyone knows that the U.S. Imperial Occupation has been far worse for Iraqis, and the death rate has been under 50,000 per year.

It is impossible for an 8 year war to account for over a million dead, since that would mean Saddam (who started the war) was responsbile for over 125,000 deaths per year, far worse than the deaths under the Imperialist Agressor Americans.

“Israels attack on Iran later this year?” From your pen to Gods (and Bibis) ears, pal.

You asked for comments. Well, the first paragraph, and I stopped dead in my tracks...


Gulf Cooperation Council members — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman — are getting ready for what many now assume will be retaliation from Iran following Israeli bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities later this year.


It’s *really weird* to be reading about a future event — couched in “language” stating it as if it is a “fait accompli” — having *already* happened.

There is something “surreal” about an article that starts off this way... :-)
