Saudi Arabia Gives Israel Clear Skies To Attack Iranian Nuclear Sites
The Times ^ | June 12, 2010

Posted on 06/11/2010 6:01:40 PM PDT by Strategy

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran's nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.

In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran.

To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom's air defences will return to full alert.

"The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way," said a US defence source in the area. "They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department."

The only defense the Obama wackos have is to leak. They think they can disrupt or end the coming conflict by divulging secret plans.

The fact is Obama is being left behind as the weak link in the coalition to secure the Gulf and Middle east for freedom from tyranny.

America is not the leader, merely an observer as history leaves the Obama pacifists behind

While he beats his chest and spouts words, the real players prepare for war.

Now that is, probably unintentional, a very funny post. We barely have enough. . .

The Saudis and Qataris will be flying interference, high cover providing Awacs guidance.

To equate modern Russia with Revelations is obviously presumptious and fallacious.

The way the world, including the US is lining up against Israel, they will now have complete freedom of action to settle all family business soon.

If they can't even enforce an arms embargo against a sworn enemy, they might as well go all-out against Hamas-Hezzbollah-Syria-Iran.

As Clemenza said before the start of another mafia war in the Godfather:

MICHAEL

How bad do you think it's gonna be?

CLEMENZA

Pretty goddamn bad. Probably all the other Families will line up against us. That's alright -- this thing's gotta happen every five years or so -- ten years -- helps to get rid of the bad blood. Been ten years since the last one. You know you got to stop them at the beginning, like they should have stopped Hitler at Munich, They should never've let him get away with that. They were just asking for big trouble.

I am quite familiar with radar. The higher the frequency, the better the resolution and the harder it is to fool it by flying in close formation.

imho,

NOT to, is ignorance.

As I posted on that thread about Gog and Magog . . . several quality studies demonstrating otherwise.

If ever there’s a case for God, it’s the existence of Israel in the midst of THAT.

If I’m raptured before the tribulation, I’m not going to argue theology with Jesus on the way up.

LOL...

I'm HOPING that's the case....

Do not fool yourself by relying on the United States or Britain or Israel, because they will not survive the loss;

What “loss” is he referring to?

And as I said earlier there is absolutely nothing pointing to Russia in Apocalypse which is a Orthodox Christian nation again...far less secular than the US.

I think that some Protestants are stuck in the Bolshevik past and need to study more Greek. They might alos loike to reflect on the fact that there are more Communists in the US these days than in Russia.

Lets imagine this is true. It would be about as classified a secret as is possible.

What forces in Saudi Arabia with such knowledge are attempting to sabotage the possibility?

I have my doubt, but still, it’s a win win for the Saudis.

If Israel does go after Iran besides the geo political advantage to the Saudis, they will likely enjoy the $200+ a barrel oil prices.

The loss of the ruling family of Saudi Arabia being a ‘faithful’ supporter.

I think.

He’s wrong about Israel. God will take care of Israel.
