Saudi Arabia Gives Israel Clear Skies To Attack Iranian Nuclear Sites
The Times ^ | June 12, 2010

Posted on 06/11/2010 6:01:40 PM PDT by Strategy

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran's nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.

In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.

To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom's air defences will return to full alert.

"The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way," said a US defence source in the area. "They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department."

Bible scholars 100’s of years ago knew Russia would be attacking Israel—when it seemed impossible.

Scripture is clear . . . in one translation . . . the prophecy speaks of

THE NORTHERN MOST country from Jerusalem. Russia is the only one that fits.

Also, the tribal origins affirm the same thing.

It may well be that there are more Communists in the USA than authentic such in Russia presently.

Regardless, globalism is in charge of both places.

Thankfully, God is still in control.

Nevertheless, HIS PROPHECIES WILL BE FULFILLED TO THE LETTER.

I don’t care what Christian label one has or doesn’t have—the prophecies will be fulfilled.

The Israelis prevent the maniac from attacking the Saudis. If the Israelis take him out and the Iranians throw over the regime, then they will have taken out the second in the axis of evil. Then the Chinese can deal with North Korea.

” that the Saudi royals would be toppled by the Wahabi fanatics who their rule depends on?”

If Iran is neutralized, then the Suadis could likely break the back of their own Wahabi clerics who likely stifle the ability of Saudi Arabia to modernize more. Iran is a base for them to operate and a ‘back up.’ If I were a member of the Saudi family, then I would be more than happy to eliminate the ‘base’ and then deal with the radical clerics afterwards.

The radical clerics will also lose a major supporter and the royals can get them more under control.

The Al-Sauds will likely be able to deal with the extremists more easily. This will help them in the long run, just you see.

Taquiya.

Ummmm...it's the Iranians who are Shia. The Saudis are Sunni.

Plus I am sure that they are sick and tired of all the bombing, the shootings, the acts of terrorism that keep the countries destabilized.

Of course, taqiyya is a Shi'ite concept. The Saudis are Sunni.

Would prince turki lose his diplomatic immunity in such an event?

If it does, then I’m sure the DOJ would like to have him as a long term guest.

Thank for the reply.

That probably would depend on the whims of the President at the time . . .

Historically we have been kind to deposed folks seeking asylum within our borders.

However, OThuga would do whatever he wanted or his handlers ordered him to do.

I’d think the Prince with his funds would go elsewhere . . .someplace remote and in the Southern Hemisphere.

There was no country of Russia “north” of Israel when OT scriptures were written.

Tribal origins do NOT s suggest the same thing.

But yes His word will be fulfilled...just not in the way you foresee.

So now we know all the turbulence between the U.S. and Israel is in part diagreement about an Israeli strike, and partly manufactured disagreement to give the U.S. diplomatic cover.

I dunno.... I’m pretty convinced we (US) really didn’t know that Israel would attack Syria back in ‘07.

Holy sh*t. Of what does this portend, I pray?

IT SOUNDS LIKE

your perspective might be that

GOD DIDN’T KNOW

that Russia would be in the uttermost North of Israel in the END TIMES.

Sheesh.

What a silly perspective.

Actually, one of the studies involved DNA.

It’s not the end of the world to be wrong.

It can be a problem, to never admit it, when one is.

Now that is, probably unintentional, a very funny post. We barely have enough. . .


If you think it’s a “funny” post, I fail to see your sense of humor. To help defend Israel is never “funny” and I agree we need more of these bombers.
