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. On the diplomatic front, the Israelis are unusually concerned about their international image (for example, making concessions in Gaza) while their top officials - including Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself - are shuttling between Jerusalem and Washington.
Everybody in the region is restless. Turkey is making spectacular diplomatic pirouettes. Egypt is quietly seething, and Saudi Arabia less quietly so. Jordan's king had ruefully predicted war if no peace was achieved by the summer [1], and summer has now come. Syria and Lebanon are positioning themselves to weather the coming storm [2]. Yemen is in disarray. Russia, China, India, and a host of other powers are vying to make the best of the fracas. The Iranian regime itself appears to be digging in for a fight.

The article concedes WAY too much competence and good intention to Obamsky and his crew. They prosper by having a disruptive, mouthy Iran on the premises of the region. They won’t do anything to take it down.
Agreed.
Whatever happens in the Middle East, Obama will be a spectator unless forced against his will to act.
Perhaps the Teleprompter will tell him what to do.
It is absolutely vital to understand that Obama does not operate according to any set of universal principles. He is an Obamaite first, last and always. Marxists are not ideologues. They are self absorbed tyrants seeking to increase their own power by any means. Certain “means” will not enhance their power, such as strengthening the private sector.
War is a mighty tonic for Democrat chances in the fall. Supporting Israel in a war against Iran will substantially deflate the anti Obama forces and be an effective runup to the midterm elections for Democrats. Look for this to happen.
SUDDENLY refusing to refuel Iranian owned passenger planes? WOW.
END TIMES PING LIST PING LEVEL 1
THAT, TO ME
IS A VERY TELLING LITTLE DETAIL.
THX THX.
Thanks for the ping!
It worked for another socialist president who presided over a prolonged economic depression.
.
That would be a mistake. Nuclear bombs will go off in Iran and Syria, with a lot more in reserve. That will be Obama's responsibility.
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama gets arrested by our military brass who will call for a new election. Obama is a third-world president anyway.
Never happen. Our military “upper echelon” has been infiltrated with “perfumed princes”, as has our intelligence and of course the State Department. We still have lots of patriots, but they are scared to death. Why do you think there are endless “whistle blowers” whenever a Republican is President, yet nary a peep forthcoming when the administration is being run by the most corrupt, vile, and despicable group ever assembled?
except fuel prices will skyrocket
depending on the timing, they will just start to come back down or will be peaking by the 10 elections. I would actually think this would be a set-up for a fuel price decrease by 12
I would not expect a prolonged encounter (notice I did not say war) unless this goes hand-to-hand
To keep him in power and inhance his power.
1) Attempt to make the silly Americans rally 'round the Kenyan
2) Try to prove that he isn't a transvestite girly boy
3) Flattening Iran gives him a reason to immediately pump billions into reconstruction of Iran efforts, fueling the construction of the Caliphate with dhimmi dollars and him at its helm.
Thanks for the ping here Quix.
MORE THAN A LITTLE PLAUSIBLE.
THX.
TAKE CARE, BRO. PLEASE TAKE CARE.
I’m still concerned that your destination is too close to the New Madrid stuff.
Yet, you make a good point about God’s leading you.
Not when oil goes to $8/gallon.
BTW, where's the drumbeat of "don't rush into war" like with Bush and Iraq?
Cheers!
Dual subject article with a quite likely scenario of the near future and Obama trhying to save himself and his administration
I believe the video clip showing Obama state where he was born is THE LONG LOST ONE that was taken by a private person ans was impossible to find. Alan Keyes refered to it but the owner did not come forward.

Please feel free to share it as far and wide as you think it’s worth.
Alan will not mind. He wrote the commentary/scenario based on his experience and evaluation and bits of information that come to him in several hundred Emails a day from all over.
