Getting interesting. Obama’s Iranian rebel buds in Yemen have also gotten their hands on US spy intel. Wonder how that happened. It’s in the LA Times.

Must be Israel’s fault, somehow.

Another success for that nobel peace prize winner obama.
Soon to have cities across the mideast and elsewhere in flames from nuclear bombs made in Iran.

weakening and destroying America and Israel and a Middle East in total chaos has been obozo’s mission since day one.

I heard that they were coming out with a new version of Mad Max this year, but didn't realize it would be the whole Middle East.

Onward to Victory!

Cruz was right when he said “the whole world’s on fire”.

Looks like bunch of folks figured out that the idiot in the White Hut is backing Iran and they're in deep crap.

Obozo basically gave Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Libya to the crazies and the others don't want to be next.
Getting down to "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" time for them.

Not that I would want Americans there, but I think it is significant that we didn’t seem to be invited or consulted. All that leading from behind has forced everyone else to leave us behind.

This is gonna blow up big. Iranians just dropped off 185 tons of military hardware to their Shiite rebels. 500 miles from Mecca baby.

War just broke out...

The question is whether Iran will react against Saudi Arabia. Sunni vs. Shite - That would really ignite a mideast war. If Iran had the bomb now, they might well use it against the Saudis.

Nope. They will nuke Israel as they capture Mecca. They will own the entire Muslim world then. My 2 cents. And you can thank the traitor in the White House.

The last time they went in the cities looked like the construction material part of the dump.

This will bring America’s crude oil industry back from the dumps.
