We’re in no shape to fight another war.

And there is no way our navy wants anything to do with a war in the Persian Gulf

If anything they will do it after the election if Obama wins

Of course.

And if anything develops in the ME before the election, “O’s” ineptitude and vacillation could diminish the $$$ support of American Jews for the “O” re election prospects.

(Fankly, I never understood American Jews’ support for Liberal ME policies anyway.)

“....the election will be harder for Romney to win as the mantra will go out from the administration and from the media that you don’t change horses in the middle of a global emergency.”

.
Even if there would be no war, the administration could still predict one to break out soon and use the same argument.

The question addressed to the American people should be: “In view of Obama’s proven sympathies toward Islam, who would you want to be in charge in the event of a war against the muslims?”

>>If anything they will do it after the election if Obama wins<<

If Obama wins, I agree. They won’t have any choice but to go it alone, and they will. I was addressing whether or not they’d actually attack before the election, and I doubt that they will. For one thing, if Romney wins, there’s a chance that a forceful change in U.S. policy could get the Iranians to drop their nuclear program.

“O’s” approval would be grudging, partial, conditional and lukewarm at best. The Israelis cannot risk THAT.


Bambam made clear which side he is on between the Arabs and the Jews. He sided with the Muslim Brotherhood who have expressed clearly, they want the Jews out of the Middle East and Israel gone.

Israel miscaculates to think he will support them if they attack before the election. He won’t. He will blame all the ensuing disasters on Israel. He’ll blame the GOP for encouraging BiBi.

Here are some disasters from the attack: Fall out from bombing Iran’s nuke facilities, retaliation from Syria which will probably expose our troops to poisonous gases along with Israel’s civilians and military, retaliation from Egypt’s MB, Russia’s military getting involved. In other words, this attack in Iran is not going to be the only action and reaction. Bam can easily turn the pubic (and the GOP) against Israel with all this and he will. He’ll come in as the guy above it all...

Israel risks the reality and if Bam gets a second term, he would lend US military support to the MB governments in the name of relocating Jews into the boundries Bam set for Israel in his peace agreement. Iran may still have their bomb. Jews will still be hated and threatened on less secure terrority than before.

But it’s OK to change from a horse’s ass in the middle of a global emergency.

That article is discredited immediately by the risk to reward ratio. The whole idea is that Iran is close to nukes, and what is the risk if that happens?

Many jews are JINOs ( Jews in name only). They are not practicing and couldn’t care less about Israel which is why they vote the eay they do.

Doesn’t even come close in comparison. Iran’s nuclear program is now a distributed effort, there is no 1 bomb 1 kill on an above ground target that practically shares a boarder with you.

Right now Iran is a lesser problem for Israel. Al-Qaeda is a number one threat but I think they are clueless on how to handle it and looking for some solid object to hit for political reason.
Israel has changed too much. It was a nation of pioneers driven with a logic of survival. They knew what is Holocaust. They knew a time to be flexible and they were fighting to the end all the other time.
New generation of leaders are a kind of neocons. They were educated at univercities on both American coasts and they are poisoned with that agenda. They are building socialism and effectively cleansing remnants of their predecessors to have more power.
