If true, prayers up for the safety of Israel.

Whispers in the Pentagon and elsewhere in official Washington seem to indicate the Israelis may wait to launch massive airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites until at least after the elections this summer in Iran.....

Thus, if the rumors in Washington are true... (and not disinformation designed to mask a sooner attack),.... it would suggest before the Israelis start a new regional war they want to assess — and be seen assessing — whether Iran’s new government will maintain its hardline pursuit of nuclear weapons,..... or whether it would be willing to negotiate and give up the country’s atomic ambitions.

But even while being as patient as possible, Netanyahu cannot ignore Iranian efforts to beef up the missile forces of Hezbollah, the implosion inside Syria, the danger of Syria WMD being used or being transferred to jihadists, and the steady Iranian march towards The Bomb.

The airstrikes in the last 48 hours help him send a message that his patience is running out, and that the Israelis have very precise intelligence on what Iran and its allies are up to............

((early reports indicate they bombed storehouses for advanced missiles that the Assad regime was preparing to transfer to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.))

One thing is clear:..... Netanyahu is not waiting any longer for Obama to act. Israel is taking the lead in protecting its own national security.

Interesting comments on the site. I take it this is a Russian site?

Are you Joel Rosenburg... or just copying something he wrote?
(I would be unsurprised if Mr. Rosenburg were a Freeper.)

No I am not ...I should have bracketed that...sorry...

I get His e-mails from his web site..blog etc. I generally want to see what he has to say on issues concerning Israel.

As you might know he once worked with Bibi and knows him personally....as do many of the ‘better’ politicians in Washington.

So when he mentions “whispers” likely he's heard something from those within... but is not authorized to confirm information... rather frames his opinion.

I'll be careful next time, and here after, to bracket his name.

Ah, it's ok.

Or you can use <blockquote> to inset the text.

Like this.

Oops, my-bad, the actual syntax is <blockquote>

I'd put everything in the blockquote.

That’s okay - I haven’t studied it so it is perhaps a faulty interpretation. But the two events are linked, and seeing as Damascus has never been turned into an uninhabited wasteland (yet), it would seem that the prophecy is not referring to something that has already happened. It also seems that most interpreters view these verses as “end time” prophecies.

Interestingly the regular network news has given virtually no coverage to this story. Some sort comments bout an ‘Israeli air attack’ on a Syrian arms storage site. The coverage is so muted that there must be US Government pressure to treat it as a none event. This could be because it caught the government types flatfoot and with O out of the country in Mexico or it could be a classic example of Washington not being able to concentrate on more than one thing at a time and the current news cycle is dominated by Benghazi, gun control and O trying to get some traction with his Mexico junket.

I'd rather they not give coverage of what Israel is doing....the less people know the more Israel can move without the regular idiots opposing them.
