War drums are beating in the Middle East. In a short time, the United States has increased the number of its carrier strike groups opposite Iran to three, and reports are raining down of a tightening ring of American and Israeli concentrations all around the Islamic Republic.

Just what the enemy wants.
Oh come on, you already knew it.
I just said it out loud.
Soetoro has gotten where he is by lying, emtpy speechifying, sabotaging allies at strategic moments, intimidation, and all the while being surrounded by communist Israel-haters.
To doubt he will do the same to Israel just isn't logical.
Yes.
Except that’s not what I said. We stop any ballistic missile strikes, or any large scale attacks. Not, “every single flight” coming in their direction.
Perhaps a little "wag the dog" to lift his failing numbers, and to lead the Republicans around by the nose.
