What are the odds that they will not make the return trip?

Not much of a surprise. Sadly.

Where’s Barry? (Sorta like Where’s Waldo? but Barry show up in even more inappropriate places, like on the side of the union fascists in Wisconsin.)

By my reckoning, the North end is about 120 miles from Ashkelon, Israel, or 150 miles from Tel Aviv.

Wonder where they’re bound?

War in the Middle East is rapidly approaching, and the US will lose Saudi oil no matter what action the US takes.

The socialist utopia America will soon be a reality.

Where’s Barry?

Out here in CA. Then up to Oregon. He is taking a tour of an Intel mfg company plant today. Look for safety glass and hardhat pictures of our working man president this evening.

No doubt encouraged by the appearance in Egypt of that radical freak Muslim Brotherhood imam at their Friday “prayers” (aka, the Two Minutes Hate of Jews/women/Americans). He had been forbidden to enter Egypt for the last 30 years, and arrived triumphantly yesterday and was escorted to the “prayers” by the army today.

Wasn’t it the big Motown party night at the White Hut? Maybe he is sleeping off the booze vapors and fried food.

Maybe we could move to Cuba. They have socialism down.

No surprise here, war is on the way. We will eventually have to drill and use our resources, here in the states.

We should already be doing that.

I understand the Mediterranean is a nice place to go swimming in February.

“BREAKING NEWS: State media say Egypt has agreed to let 2 Iran navy ships through Suez Canal”

Israel ought to have a submarine waiting not far from where they EXIT the canal into the Mediterranean, and — as soon as they are far enough from the exit to be in deeper waters — blow them both out of the water.

Situation resolved.

Maybe I'm missing something here. What's the big deal?

I've always understood that the Constantinople Accord of 1888 is still considered a binding international agreement governing the Suez Canal . . . and it specifically says that no commercial or military vessel may be excluded from using it.

That 1888 agreement is actually quite remarkable in that it doesn't even allow any interference of transit through the canal in a time of war between the signatories.

I respect your opinion. I ask you to not count America out just yet. America, in my lifetime and history, has always been full of surprises. May God be with all of us, as He will, during the times to come. I ask, all of us, to not count America out just yet.
