My personal theory is that Israel and the Russians will coordinate to get the truth about zerO into the media.
Russia has its own problems and they do not need a world-wide Islamist conflagration. Notice that they have been very verbal about this FUBAR kinetic operation.
Don’t need Jean Dixon to know where this is all headed. I read the Book, and have some idea how it ends. The details I am not completely sure about. The Bible says the “Restrainer” (USA ?) will be removed and all hell will break loose. It is going to be the worst of times such has never been nor ever will be. The” Religion of Peace” (sarc)
will turn this earth into nuclear holocost. Unless God intervenes, no life will survive. (btw- earthquakes and disasters in many palces are part of the beginning of the END) I pray for Israel, the apple of God’s eye. God will curse those who curse Israel, and bless those that bless Israel. That is in the same Book. Shalom Ari.
and we will be nation of Spanish speaking Muslims
The makes me sick to even contemplate it; however, I also remember the infamous “Twenty-Nine Palms” questionnaire given to US Marines back in the late 80s. The primary question asked if Marines would fire upon fellow American citizens? If I remember rightly, the answer was yes. I don’t recall the percentage that answered “yes” or if it was provided. Obviously, the questionnaire created quite a stir. I suspect the Israeli question will create a similar stir once it is generally known - as it should.
I wish I could believe you. But Obama just told the military to attack Libya, without so much as asking Congressional approval much less getting a declaration of war, and I've not heard of a single officer or soldier objecting to these outrageous and unconstitutional orders. They are meekly submitting to UN directives, contra the U.S. Constitution.
So we have a military of lawless thugs doing Obama's bidding and private agenda on the taxpayer dime. Not exactly a noble precedent. I'd like to think that there are some who are at least wrestling in their conscience about it, but I've not even seen that much.
As much as many conservatives are finding this objectionable all of a sudden, the broader constitutional questions have been utterly ignored for years, so I am having a hard time getting excited about it.
Remember, at Qaddafi’s orders, in 1986, a disco was bombed in Berlin, killing two US military personnel. Then, again at his orders, the plane full of US military personnel was bombed, crashing on Lockerbie, Scotland. At any time after that, the US was effectively at war with Libya and free to commence hostilities. Ronald Reagan did so, a bit.
The exposure of the Khan proliferation network was, in effect, the final straw, and Qaddafi was given an ultimatum, one way or another, to discontinue his efforts, along with others, to build a nuclear weapon.
It was believed that he had been using his immense underground water project to conceal his nuclear activities:
So Qaddafi, probably unable to continue his nuclear scheme, discontinued it, and gave some minimal help to the west against al-Qaeda, that wanted to overthrow him, too.
This does not redeem him in our light. Thus, efforts to throw him out when the opportunity presented itself does not represent aggressive warfare. He started it.
And the two big ifs: If the rebels are able to displace him, and *if* they are less obnoxious than he is, then credit where credit is due to Barry, even though he was a day late and a dollar short.
It still doesn’t mean that the US military will fight Israel, unless they attack the US military first.
Russia could have exercised their veto, too. They saw the plum of the US (via Obama) stepping into a manure pit...And we have, but I think even the Russians underestimated the extent of that.
Despite all the posturing and blather from just about every sovereign state in the world, there will not be a palestinian state. It is not in the arabs' interests.
Irrelevant.
What sort of pressure does that put on them?
Can the world just watch us fall and calmly go about their own interests? Seems we are all too connected for that, any longer.
REMEMBER MICHAEL NEW!!!
Not Europe, perhaps, but others would revel in our demise.
Seems we are all too connected for that, any longer.
No, no pressure at all. Their poor are dirt poor, and used to it. The rich are filthy rich, beyond needing more to maintain anything but ammo and arms research. If we tank, what do they need arms for besides maintaining internal order?
