Here we go. Praying for Israel and Bibi, the leader of the free world!!

Before I get hit by the posting police, I *did* do a search but nothing came back! Carry on!

They’re just running their mouths. They’ll be as provocative as possible without an actual confrontation with Israel. (At least till they get their nuke ready)

[Gay State Conservative]

If true this isn’t good.Not at *all* good.

[Little Pig]

That’s going to make things a LOT more interesting. First, and most obvious, because of the deliberate and direct provocation of Israel and the direct confrontation aspect, and second, the Iranian navy has to get there somehow, and they’ve got to pass through waters that several Western Navies have a very keen interest in.

Just another after-effect of obama's dereliction in foreign policy. Can anyone imagine the Iranians trying to float this with Bush or Cheney at the helm? The Iranian pissants wouldn't dare.

DUM DE DUMM DUMM
DUM DE DUMM DUMM
DEUM DE DUMM DUMM DUMMM!

[cue Dragnet theme]

The plot thickens and the thick-headed plot.

Given OThuga’s sentiments on the side of Iran . . . Could get interesting faster than anyone’s nightmares would depict.

Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards
Elite? WTH does that mean? What have they ever done except get their butts kicked?

Exactly.

[seastay]

Since we live in a modern world, where air traffic is more efficient than flotillas, Israel might respond by using the air to enter Irans sovergien territory for delivery of the same.

[reg45]

Time for the IDF to stock up on torpedos.

[Ulysse]

That could be a good idea!
Let those moron ragheads come to Gaza.....

[esquirette]

“A council of rabbis in Israel says their nation’s conflict with Turkey over a flotilla of “aid” ships headed for the blockaded Gaza Strip controlled by the terrorist Hamas organization just may be the beginning of the ‘Gog and Magog process where the world is against us, but which ends with the third and final redemption.’ “

“The announcement comes today from the Rabbinical Council of Judea and Samaria, whose statement was reported by Israel National News.”

“Just another after-effect of obama’s dereliction in foreign policy.”

This is not just simply a dereliction of duty in foreign policy. This is a result of the Iranians and other Islamic radicals knowing that Obama will not defend Israel. They know that now, like no other time in recent history, is the time to challenge Israel. This is not pretty.

In a short 1-1/2 year period Obama has nationalized the auto industry, taken over a substantial number of banks, made medical care into a bigger bureaucratic mess than it ever was, spent us into destabilizing debt, overseen the loss of millions of jobs and the loss of an enormous amount of American wealth, and totally screwed up what is arguably the biggest environmental disaster the country has ever seen. That's just for starters.

What he is doing in the Middle East could conceivably put the world at risk of global conflict.

In the immortal words of President George W Bush: “Bring them on!”

[OldDeckHand]

Well, if this is true, it will be the biggest escalation since 1967. It could QUICKLY spiral out of control.

This is one person's fault, Barack Hussein Obama. When you project weakness, this is what you get. He's too much of an idiot to understand it. You can't reason with religious fanatics.

[pillut48]

Oh, I'm not worried about Israel. I know Who their trump card is. :-)

I wonder if we are going to see miraculous things happen out there in those waters if/when those ships attack Israel?

*ping* - dangerous new development

"Elite? WTH does that mean? What have they ever done except get their butts kicked?"

I'm with you on that...last time we saw these "elite" guards was at the end of the 1st Gulf War, and IIRC, half of them didn't have complete uniforms or SHOES on their feet. Elite my ass.

[hennie pennie]

Hi there, Fars.... do you have anything to add to this report from al-Reuters?
