NewsCore - JERUSALEM -- Iran is sending two warships into the Mediterranean Sea, Israel's foreign minister said Wednesday, calling the act a "provocation" the Jewish state could not ignore for long.
Hey, the Israel AF does need real target practice occasionally.
Suck it up, Iran.
More in here...
Two Iranian warships planned to sail through the Suez canal en route to Syria on Wednesday, Israel's foreign minister said, calling the move the latest "provocation" by Tehran and hinting at an Israeli response.
Israel sees a major threat in Iran's nuclear programme and calls for its elimination, but the countries' geographical distance has kept them from open confrontation. Syria is one of Israel's neighboring foes and an ally of Tehran.
"Tonight, two Iranian warships are meant to pass through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea and reach Syria, something that has not happened in many years," Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in a Jerusalem speech distributed by his office.
"To my regret, the international community is not showing readiness to deal with the recurring Iranian provocations. The international community must understand that Israel cannot forever ignore these provocations."
blow these suckers out of the water.
Oh boy. Another chance for Obama to get up in front of a bunch of reporters and unburden himself of an all new raft of empty platitudes.
Seems like all the mooslims will be “poking” Israel, knowing our mooslim in chief DOES NOT have her back.
They will poke and poke...
I hope Israel takes them out....let the chips fall where they may.
0bama will condemn any action by Israel.
What we don’t really know is if this is for show or is this actual troop movement, staging, and equipment.
It’d be funny if tomorrow’s headline was that Iran found out about Israel’s “secret” submarine program.
It is happening much faster than I anticipated.
Well...gee...LOL...Rush is asking the same thing I just posted...
What’s on those ships to Syria? A few of Saddam’s ole WMD?
The left said and still says that obama has brought respect and strength around the world and here.
Funny how they ignore obama gave Uk, nuclear secrets away, how he has pissed off our best allies the UK , Israel Columbia, Poland, Czech, Germany , France basically most of Europe while muslims, our enemies are now causing a lot of grief around the world, China, Russia are getting stronger as is Iran,.
Muslims having their days of rage.
We have been attacked how many times on our own soil since obama came to power compared to when Bush as in.
Our economy has tanked.
Islam only sees weakness as does many countries.
all the wires are running articles..
Sure is ‘getting busy’ in the Middle East of late.

Hezbollah threatens Israeli leaders
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110216/wl_mideast_afp/lebanonpoliticshezbollahisrael_20110216162930
BEIRUT (AFP) – The head of Hezbollah urged his fighters on Wednesday to stand ready to take Galilee in any future Lebanon-Israel war and threatened Israeli leaders “anytime, anywhere” to avenge a top operative’s killing.
“I say to the fighters of the Islamic Resistance: Be ready. If a new war is imposed on Lebanon we may ask you to take Galilee, to free Galilee,” Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech to mark his Shiite party’s martyrs’ day.
“I hope the people of Israel have good bomb shelters,” he added.
False Flag due to the demostrations at home. Need to focus everyone on those baby eating JEWS!
It will. They have been waiting for this circumstance for a very long time. Much like the progressives who have those "bills" written long before the crisis of opportunity occurs. While we think of the ME as third world, I think we've neglected the money and the military. Trouble is on the horizon.
They should keep all war ships out of the canal. Blockade the canal.
Another Freeper, caww, just posted that there is some huge conference of “ME leaders” scheduled for Feb 19th and this may have something to do with that. A little saber rattling?
not sure about this tweet but interesting....
