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:

You are right. We should just tell Israel to allow Iran to gain a Nuclear warhead so they can be blown to kingdom come.
/s/
FWIW, ever hurts to fill up the gas tank.
“...I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you...” Gen. 12:3
Bibi isn’t God, but Israel is the Lord’s land.
We know who is currently cursing Israel.
Do you really want to be counted with that crowd?
How much you wanna bet that attack happens while they are meeting? Bibi is there to hold 0bama's hand.
Thankfully, I just filled up @ $4.29 a gallon.......lucky me!
He’s probably already back on the cocaine and WILL indeed blow a gasket very soon.
I just hope it’s on national tv for ALL to see.
So attempting to tap the SPR didn’t work, QE3 didn’t work, the Arab Spring has blown-up in his face and now what does he have left?
1) Israel attacks Iran.
2) Egypt, under control of muslim brotherhood, cancels peace treaty with Israel, sides with Iran and attacks Israel resulting in two large, well armed countries at war with Israel.
3) Hezbollah, which fought Israel’s army to a standstill in 2006, attacks Israel from Lebanon.
4) Iran and Egypt manage to sink ships in Straight of Hormuz, cutting off oil supply to the west.
Mayan’s December 2012 calendar anyone?
So attempting to tap the SPR didn’t work, QE3 didn’t work, the Arab Spring has blown-up in his face and now what does he have left?...THE RACE CARD!!!
Here is the message I have sent to PM Netanyahu:
Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu;
Daily prayers are being lifted up for You and Israel. I am an American and a Christian and I am appalled by the behavior of certain persons in my government who have been so disrespectful to you and to Israel, Our ONLY reliable Ally in the Mideast. Please understand that the words and actions of the few do NOT represent the true feelings of most decent Americans.
Am Yisroyel Chai!
Blessings and May you have a peaceful and Prosperous and healthy New Year.
L’Shana Tovah.
Mary-Lou
Thank You for the link!
Happy New Year.
Left out control of the media where the vast majority of people get their news from.
This Jew will be voting Republican again, for the 9th time.
As Jews move away from who they are they become confused and blurred in the sense as to why they exist at all so they get easily carried away by slogans like BHO’s “Change”.
Israelis on the other hand know that death is close at hand and are, therefore, more realistic. Hence they are more Conservative and reject BHO completely. American Jews live in a fantasy land where all Republicans are gigar-chomping, greedy Capitalists who want to embroil the US in wars all the time yet they ignore the fact that it is the Democrats who so weaken this country that eventually causes her to stumble into a pre-war position in the first place.
Jews, wake up, the Jihad knife is getting closer. Keep Obama's minions away from power, vote Romney-Ryan!
Not Armageddon. The Ezekiel 38 war. Very different events in prophesy. And it is never a “kick” to be alive in times like this. Sobering, awe inspiring, but not to be taken lightly. I believe we are about to see God act openly in human history as He has not done for about 2000 years. We will see real “shock and awe” Do you have Jesus as your shield?
I do not believe that the modern state of Israel is the same as the OT Israel. However, even if I did believe that, one has to look at the consequences of an attack on Iran for all involved
First, Israel is inlikely to do this because the entire Arab world would turn on them and fight. So, their saber rattling is intended to persuade the US to launch an attack for them. Either way, the results would be catastrophic.
Mr. Netanyahu is attempting to get the US to attack, and that is the reason for the constant saber rattling with no action. As far as I can tell, Israel has pretty much done what it wants to do regardless of what the US says. It puts what it sees as its interests first, which is something all other countries but the US seem to do.
If there is an attack on Iran, it will lead to far more disastrous consequences than what the politicians say will happen. How many times in history have men promised a conflict will be short and successful, and how many times has that actually happened?
President Reagan helped to bring down the Soviet Union without military action, and that was one of his greatest accomplishments. If you say “Aqua-velva-dab” is nuts and will do anything, perhaps he is, but the entire leadership and military of Iran is not.
The main threat to the US are the Muslims we have within our borders. We should refuse to allow any Muslims to immigrate to this country, or even to go to school here. If I were Empress for a Month, I would kick all Muslims out and demolish the mosques. Iran is not a pressing problem for the US. Let Israel fight its own battles.
isn't it...
The Soviet Union wasn't a radical "religious" entity. A truly united Middle East with Iran as the acknowledged head would prove to be seriously disaterous for a long time and would eventually require a lot more nukes than anyone in their right mind wants to contemplate to defang. I'm with your Empress for a Day plan - it's our own misguided policies that have given them the current foothold. But, it is far too late in the game for that to serve as a true fix - I would guess that there are some nukes with our name on them waiting for the right time and "provocation. It has all been allowed to go on for far too long to get a "shotless" solution.
I would say that Netanyahu's "saber-rattling" is actually the sound of an Israel that has been backed into a corner by her supposed allies and she will have no choice but to actually take some swipes. Bibi knows as well as anyone what the potential ramifications are and he is hoping for at least some tacit moral support to keep the whole area from going geiger counter hot. For Israel, it's now a true case of fighting for survival and I would posit, that if it were my country I would be willing to take it to any lengths to fight for survival - we have always been a modicum of a deterrent and under this administration we have become openly hostile to Israel which leaves them in the inenviable position of having to make horribly hard decisions.
Of course, I disagree. If Mr. Netanyahu were going to attack, he would just do it. He is agitating for the US to attack. Israel is the strongest military power in the Middle East, and it can protect itself if attacked. Due to demographics and other changes, that may not be true in the future, and that is what worries them. As we have seen, the US is fast losing its ability to control what happens around the world. For us to engage in another conflict now when we are entangled in 2 wars already and we are BROKE, would only hasten our own destruction.
How about we fix the US first?
BiBi should just shake his head yes then do what he wants anyway. Obama will throw Israel under the bus and we know it.
