U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanding that Israel not surprise the U.S. with an Israeli military operation against Iran. The message was conveyed by a senior American official who met in Israel with Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Earlier, Netanyahu's envoy visited Washington and met with National Security Adviser James Jones and with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and discussed the dialogue Obama has initiated with Tehran.

Luke 14:11For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Me thinks odumbo is soon to be humbled.

Let us pray.

“Is Barack Obama the “promised warrior” coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world?”

“The question has made the rounds in Iran since last month, when a pro-government Web site published a Hadith (or tradition) from a Shiite text of the 17th century. The tradition comes from Bahar al-Anvar (meaning Oceans of Light) by Mullah Majlisi, a magnum opus in 132 volumes and the basis of modern Shiite Islam.”

“According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.” Commanding “the strongest army on earth,” the new ruler in the West will carry “a clear sign” from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. The tradition concludes: “Shiites should have no doubt that he is with us.”

“In a curious coincidence Obama’s first and second names—Barack Hussein—mean “the blessing of Hussein” in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means “he is with us,” the magic formula in Majlisi’s tradition.”

Is that sticker for real? The one that I saw was in plain English FKBHO’.

I'll be going back to Israel in a few days. I'll try to look for it, but I haven't found it yet.

If I find it, I'll mention it.

The man is a naive incompetent in water far over his head. To threaten Israel is stupid.

He thinks the world is filled with peace mongers and completely fails to understand the most basic concept of history.....war yields peace. Death yields life

Sorry to be a party pooper...

Following the Bush visit to Jerusalem, about a year ago the previous administration sent two senior envoys, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, and the former U.S. national intelligence chief Mike McConnell to demand that Israel not attack Iran.

The previous administration also gave the message greater weight through Mullen's public statement that an Israeli attack on Iran would endanger the entire region. Since that statement, Mullen has met a number of times with his Israeli counterpart, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi

“I think Bibi will have the best interests of Israel at heart. Not the USA.”

Perhaps Bibi has the interests of both countries dear at heart and is only rejecting the interests of the dangerous userper-in-chief, Obama.

Here’s a hint, Zero ... if Israel strikes Iran, it won’t be to surprise YOU.

Would five minute notice be OK?

IMO, Netanyahu should say, “Yes sir, we will give you as much notice as possible.” Then when they attack, give Obama no notice. When Obama complains, he should tell him that Israeli intelligence has uncovered a high level leak in the Obama administration which made it impossible to give any notice.

Then refuse to name the leak, saying, “We’ll let you know after we’ve taken care of the problem.”

This would give Obama the freak out. It would be tres cool.
