Romney needs to let Dempsey know that he should have his bags packed come next Jan 20. Not just from his current position, but from his commission.

Link to the editorial. And it is scathing indeed.

Bear in mind, while the Wall Street Journal’s coverage of the news maintains a left-wing, liberal perspective, it’s Editorial Board tend to be staunchly conservative.

The editorial is correct, but doesn’t tell us the worse news.

A joint US/Israel military exercise planned for October 2012 is now scaled back. The scale back means none of our tankers for air refueling will be anywhere near the mid-east, no Aegis cruisers with anti-missile defense will be near Israel and some US Patriot batteries will go, but with no crews for radar or firing. This means if Israel attacks on its own, no US help is available, not even defense for Iranian strike backs on Israeli cities.

Obama wants Israel off the map.

...Obama's "animus and incompetence"

The animus comes from being a closet muslim. The incompetence comes from being the least qualified person to enter a room.

history will blame WW3 on Obama's ineffectual leadership contributing to Israel's nuke attack on Iran.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Lots of chatter this weekend about the breakdown of US/Israeli relations. It is instructive that this comes out on the eve of the dem convention.

There is no point or profit in Israel waiting until after the US election. If Romney wins, they will still face an Obama presidency until January, that might be too late. If Obama wins, they will face an even more obstinate president. Regarding the timing, Israel must simply act in its own self interest.

Many might be surprised at the form that the attack on Iran takes. In fact, cyber warfare has been going on for some time. Look for that to increase and take some unusual forms. Why bomb an oil refinery when you can plant a computer virus that blows it up? Why bomb a power plant when you can infect the whole grid or use a non-nuclear EMP weapon mounted on a drone or a cruise missle to kill all the power?

May Jewish voters - those Democrat - hold that thought; until Election Day. If we have one; that is. All is jeopardy; so there should be 'no surprises'.

(Hoping - better, counting on it - of course; that we have Election and on day proscribed; and that post term; Obama goes into self-imposed exile on an Indonesia golf course; though will settle for Hawaii. . .)
