See this ...

History repeats itself. Each time the cycle repeats, it's worse than the one before it.

Pointless. No one loses any sleep at night over Israeli, British, or French nuclear weapons. People do lose sleep at night over the idea of an Iranian nuke. There is a reason for this.

What I see is Judeo-Christian western cultural values
versus Islamic death cults values.

Wow. Good post. I searched to read the rest of the letter........

The quoted text below lays out a plan for three world wars ending with Luciferian World Government.........
............Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion............

The issue will likely come to a head when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with Mr. Obama on May 18 in Washington. Mr. Netanyahu is expected to seek assurances from Mr. Obama that he will uphold the U.S. commitment and will not trade Israeli nuclear concessions for Iranian ones.

Who wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall at that meeting ?

I am now beginning to entertain ideas that I thought were over the top, i.e. 0bama is in thrall to the Spirit of the Anti-Christ.

God to the Jews - "I sent you a king and you rejected him. Along will come another and it is he you will accept."

Just to be clear: I'm not talking about the Jews ... I'm talking about what Obama's narcissism is telling him about the Jews will think.

They're not necessarily the same thing. OTOH, you could be right ... Obama's not just a celebrity in his own mind.

Israel can win a war today. America's economy cannot survive a war in the Persian gulf. I hate to diss my own country but right now the U.S. has a very weak hand, and Netanyahu can either fold or call. I say raise, up the stakes, let Obama know that the adults will be taking charge now. He is petty, but not terribly brave. Go all in and I don't see The One standing on principal. Heck I'm not even sure he has any.

They don't play poker where 0bama got his chops.

He won't see this coming.

Excellent strategy.

If Netanyahu does come, I want to see if there is a live follow up presser with a slow burn exhibited by both parties.

0bama may just shine Netanyahu on, like he did to Gordon Brown after their meeting.

If Israel has to get rid of it’s nukes, I can think of a few good places to drop them off.

Hee hee...

A vain man is never good a poker. The best strategy is stay quiet or to play the fool until its too late for the other guy to get his money off the table. Obama is always bragging, making promises that he has no power to keep (like he can stop Iran). He has thrown his bankroll into the pot before the last card has been dealt. He's a fool with a lot of money, but as anybody who has been to Vegas knows that is not a situation that can remain for log. Either you wise up fast, or go broke faster.

If Israel tells Obama to pound sand, what can the US actually do.

* Cut off military supplies, 1) Israel can buy them from other sources. This isn't the cold war, France, Russia, China would all be willing to sell Israel anything they wanted in exchange for cash or technical help in developing new weapons. 2) The US defense industry needs the business. When congress critters from districts with defense contractors are already getting hit by layoffs POing one of our best customers isn't going to make friends on the hill.

* Give open military support to the Arabs. Oh i'm sure he would want to, but even the most dense member of the US public realize that that constitutes giving aid and comfort to Al Quida.

* Go to the UN. They already hate Israel. There is nothing more they can do to support the terrorists that the UN hasn't already done.

Exhausted by weeks of prayer with my prayer group (and even some fasting) before the election, I literally pulled the covers up over my head and was deeply depressed the day AFTER election. My thinking has now evolved into a different perspective: God has already written the last chapter, and HE WINS! With most books, I NEVER read the last chapter first. I am coming around to seeing Obama NOT as the free agent he claims to be, but a person that God will use for His own purposes. He is an unwitting “puppet” of the Lord before whom he will one day BOW. Somehow all of this is working for Israel’s good.

Obama doesn’t have the ability to force Israel to do anything. If I were Israel, I’d certainly ignore the fascist muslim in the White House.

Ancient Israel stood up to the Roman Empire, modern Israel can stand up to Rome’s successor, the US. Better to not have to, of course, but Israel must act in its own interest first. The fact is that Israel shouldn’t give up ANY weapon, and certainly not based on a treaty (much less a hoped-for agreement) with regimes that are based on a culture and religion that says that lying to one’s enemies is a virtue. Nukes are Israel’s only material guarantee that they will still be there - without them, the whole country would become an oven before long.

Bibi ought to say “We will give up our ultimate means of self-defense after you give up yours, just like we’ll give up our sovereign territory after you give back the entire SW United States to Mexico. Until then, don’t lecture us about anything, and don’t demand that we do anything that we believe will endanger our people. Oh, and if you want to cut off aid, go ahead - we’re not some bank or auto company that you can boss around because you give us a few dollars. We are, of course, eternally grateful to the American public and past American Presidents who share our values and value our friendship.”

Brilliant plan when Israel has no way to defend herself with conventional weapons against the overwhelming disparity in land and military size of its enemies. If Israel gives up her nukes, she would be obliterated within a week.

I hope Bibi comes on May 18th to personally deliver the after action report on taking out Iran’s nukes!

Or what?

Unfortunately, the or whats can involve fighter jets, spare parts and other critical military material Israel can only obtain from the US.

Israel can probably reverse engineer just about anything they need to - survival comes before legal niceties. Further, I'll bet that they can work out a very nice agreement with China to exchange technology for military equipment. Again, survival first.

Oh, and if BO wants to ensure that Iran gets thoroughly nuked, there are few better ways than to tell Israel "good luck guys, we're not backing you any more, we like the Arabs and Iran better." Because in that scenario, Israel is at its relative strongest vs. its known and probable enemies at exactly the moment that it is cut off - it weakens thereafter, and would be utterly insane not to deal with Iran within weeks at most.

Also, both BO and Iran seem to be entirely discounting Israel's most effective weapon, one that is unerringly swift, accurate and effective. They only have one, but that's all that they need - its the Mk. 1 Lord of Hosts.

And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse; and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

G-d to Abraham, Genesis 12:3
