Obama must be pleased...the Dems must be pleased...the Jewish left must be pleased - America is now too weak to prevent the wars and Israel must stand alone, essentially.

Our allies will never trust us again and our enemies will attack us, also.

The war Obama has wanted to save his presidency is coming but he won’t be able to contain it...it’s going to be nasty (well, nastier than any other war)

The Israelis learned that lesson well, and have one of the most prolific weapon and ammunition manufactures in the world for internal use.

America is now clearly divided into two groups. In one group we have the adults, the mature, responsible, God-fearing sort--the very best that humanity has become. And in the other, we find the very worse humanity has to offer...the self-indulgent, the weak, the hate-filled, the puffed up and arrogant, the irresponsible, the violators and haters of God's Word.

In the classic war between Good and Evil, those on each side have moved into their respective camps and this profound separation of humanity is IMHO a portent of war, not just in Israel and the Middle East, but everywhere.

Won’t be a ground war. Satellite imagery will pinpoint all muzzy troop movements.

This will be strictly missiles and Israel has the bunkers to. Withstand most conventional attacks.

Can israels enemies survive the counter attack?

“We’re talking Mad Max scenario here?”

Well, Jordan won’t be sending troops. Egypt’s military is in no position to send troops. Which means anything coming in will have to be from up north. And I am pretty certain Israel knows what is going on in Syria.

Which means a war will probably be fought with all the hezzie rockets from Lebanon, Iran launching whatever it can over Iraq and Jordan, and whatever terrorist activities occur towards Israel’s infrastructure.

Plus I think at this point in time, China would have to be worried that an Israeli counter would include destroying oil terminals.

Indeed. No one had better underestimate the resolve of Israel and their willingness to defend itself by any means necessary. There will be several large glass slabs in the middle east if need be.

If something big is gonna happen, it will happen within the next two years while Obozo is still President.

The muzzies know full well that they will never have a more sympathetic President to the muzzie cause than they have right now, and that will be the best time to act.

I’m guessing that when Israel finds large reserves of oil, they are going to slant drill into a boundary. The Arab countries will beg for help from Russia to stop them, and Russia will aid in their invasion.

I’m not convinced Russia has any part in the battle of Gog/Magog.

A study in history.

Ancient historian, Joseph Flavius, clearly identifies Magog: "Magog founded the Magogians, thus named after him, but who were by the Greeks called Scythians."

Another reliable source comes from Herodotus, known as the "Father of History." Herodotus writes of the bizarre and savage practices of the descendents of Magog known as the Scythians.

The Scythians had no written language, so much of what is known about them has been derived from the many precious and exquisitely crafted artifacts found in their frozen tombs in Russia, Kazyktstan and the Eurasian plains. These precious items included weapons, jewelry and clothing, and were meant to follow the deceased into the afterlife. They can be viewed in Russian museums, well preserved from their long stay in the frozen tombs.

Magog, Meshech, and Tubal = Russia
Persia = Iran
Cush = Ethiopia
Put = Libya
Gomer = Turkey
Beth-togarmah = Turkey, Armenia, and the Turkish-speaking people of Asia Minor
Then read Ezek 38-39

I totally agree, and “this email scam” is as if a radio station asked you to register your phone number, in order to listen.
