80,000 rockets?

Gee, it'd really be a bad thing if they were all to blow up at the same time in their armory.

I think in the fall, some very frightening things fiscally may be happening in the US a which will hamstring the US ability to make a difference in what will be happening in the mid-east. Domestic issues will be consuming much of our energy and US foreign policy will drift completely onto the rocks!

Obama needs a vibrant state department but he put Hillary, a woman he does not trust, as charge of it. Thus, foreign policy is being done directly but inefficiently from the white house as an end run around Hillary.

Ironically in the short run, this may help Israel as a distracted white house, may be impotent to tie Israel’s hands other than to cut foreign aid!

I will agree with you that US forgien policy has drifted..as for the ecomonics of the coming fiscal year...I don’t know about that... but I think on an issue such as this the admin already has its hands tied with enough other problems... that it will be impotent to do anything anyway.

With Israel, being surrounded by all of her enemies with 80,000 ++++ missiles aimed at it, not leash an all out attack(possibly a nuclear one) if they are attacked?

The Middle East could become a waste land in a heart beat, so to speak?
