Are matters coming to a head in the Middle East? According to a report by Sean Rayment of the UK Telegraph, the leaders of the United States are going to meet tomorrow, something that had previously not been announced, as annual naval exercises - the largest ever, are to bring a large flotilla of western vessels to the Strait of Hormuz:

Consider instead that perhaps Israel is backed into a corner with no good options for a way out. I would suggest that those threatening that nation’s existence and refusing to offer aid are acting more dictatorial.
A pre-emptive strike can cause chaos and war. Failing to act pre-emptively may allow the problem to grow out of control.
Should someone have stopped Hitler before he took over Europe? How do you deal with a murderous tyrant who is not open to reason?
Terrific post.
I agree. Bibi should publicly give Obama 3 options:
1. There will be no meeting and Obama can go pound sand.
2. Insist that Romney be included in the meeting.
3. If Obama is too busy campaigning, Bibi will settle for Romney and an empty chair.
Armada massing as ‘Israel prepares Iran strike’..."
Could this really be the beginning of Armageddon? Wouldn't be a kick if we are alive when the world ends, just like the Bible prophesy folks have been warning about?
It would be a good thing for Iran to blink, but would assure the election of Obama, with multiple orgasms in the American press.
I would love to see Bibi beat this skinny Marxist’s a$$ all over the Rose Garden. You just know Bibi would kick the shite out of Obama if he could.
Something very bad is beginning to smell other this whole thing.

To support which side?
"Under Obama, I half expect our military aircraft to intercept the Israelis if they attempt to strike Iran."When you glance at a map and note the locations of Libya and Israel and consider the pressures of this upcoming election overshadowed by the events of this week and include the news that Two Norfolk-based ships head for Libya . . .those valuable military resources can and will be used to address whatever target the-current-occupant-of-the-oval-office prefers given their convenient proximation.
Your speculation & concern is shared by many.
Great post!
Actually, Obama is dictating to Israel.
Since his country is at risk, Netanyahu just isn’t interested in listening any longer.
Put the shoe on the other foot.
to keep the shipping channel open
Well, that’s the stated reason, anyway.
Or he wants to make sure we get involved in a war as an October Surprise to ensure his own re-election.
It’s because Bibi will be making the rounds on the Sunday morning talk shows today. It’s just more campaigning by obama and not necessarily an effort to help.
Regarding those side-by-side comparison photos: Obama is on the other side all right...

It is amazing how well that picture still represents things 30 or so years later.
So, according to you we need to take a long-term ally and ask her to roll over to expose her belly and throat because the policies of this administration have put her in the deepest peril she has been in for half a century and it would now be inconvenient if she fights for her life? We have counselled restraint for decades and Israel has put up with thousands of rocket attacks and other atrocities to keep us happy and to keep up the facade of hoping for peace with the animals who attack her. The Obama Administration welcomes your support.
