I think Churchill was referring to the Ulster Irish

[PGR88]

Another’s “secret” strike on Iran being prepared, just l Ike all the other “secret” strikes we’ve heard about over the last 10 years

[GonzoGOP]

Also appreciate Bahrain’s rubber ducky. Good for morale (if your name is “Bert or Ernie”).

Bert is working for the other side.

[Timber Rattler]

Britain has no armada-—only a handful of ships left in the Royal Navy, and odds are they’re not armed, just like when they sat off the Libyan coast during Qaddafi’s ouster.

I don’t know; but I’m keeping my gas tank topped off (totally full) just to be on the safe side. Husband is in the ICU after a very serious operation, so I have to drive 45 miles round trip every day to see him. Brutus, Dixie,Dubbers, and the cat and I are holding down the fort. - This is a horrible time for my main marksman to be out of commission. Think I’ll have my son come home and stay a while.

Good Idea ... Stay Safe and Prayers Up for Your Husband.

I didn’t realize until I read a history of Ireland prior to visiting there just how truly beastly the English have been to the Irish, most of all Lizzie the First and Cromwell. Sort of puts the Troubles into perspective.

I tend to not take sides in “The Troubles”....but you do know that Lybia supplied the IRA with explosives, right?

We can only wish. Just her being there would scare the crap out of someone.

[Mike Darancette]

Battleships, aircraft carriers, minesweepers and submarines from 25 nations are converging on the strategically important Strait of Hormuz in an unprecedented show of force as Israel and Iran move towards the brink of war.

The Brits brought back HMS Dreadnought.

[Covenantor]

Also appreciate Bahrain?s rubber ducky. Good for morale (if your name is ?Bert or Ernie?).

scoff not infidel, the gulf is my bath tub.

Will Ahmadinejad be canceling his visit and speech to the United Nations on September 26th?

Free Republic thread: Ahmadinejad to address UN on Yom Kippur

Will Obama keep September 25th free on his calendar in order to have lunch with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi?

Israel National News: Obama to Dine with Ahmadinejad, Morsi at U.N. Assembly in NY?

[null and void]

“The main naval exercise comes as President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, today to discuss the Iranian crisis.”
...
Are Barry and Benji meeting tomorrow and we don’t know about it?

Of course not!

Biden and Obama Take Weekend Off

Nothing scheduled for this weekend...

[444Flyer]

Woo Hoo, Obama ordered send in the fleet. Whoops! Errrr...WAIT A MINUTE...

[Slings and Arrows]

Obama is there to stop them mining the strait. Nothing more. He won’t help Israel unless it gives him some advantage in the election.

I'm more worried that he'll actively oppose them.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet Benjamin Netanyahu, “

Good catch. Where did this come from and why isn’t it news??

[sneakers]

That is just lovely!

[jjotto]

VERY unlikely Bibi would meet with Zero on Rosh Hashanah!

Maybe a phone call?

And doubtful a Brit publication would get the scoop. No news from Israel about this.
