Iranian Vessels Which Crossed Suez Canal Carry "Advanced Hezbollah Weapons" -- Israel
KUNA ^ | February 23, 2011

The two Iranian naval ships which crossed the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Tuesday morning are carrying "advanced Hezbollah weapons," Maariv Israeli paper reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

The sources told the paper, "Estimates indicate the two ships are carrying missiles of different range, rifles, ammunition, and night-vision gear... The voyage of the two ships is an Iranian attempt to go around the arms embargo on Hezbollah."

The paper also said that it is believed the voyage is an attempt on the part of the Iranians to "test the waters" with and gauge the responses of the Egyptian Supreme Military Council and its stance towards Tehran.

What's the sound of that an Israeli Dolphin class sub makes when firing a wire-guided torpedo?
It's been almost 30 years since a sub sank a moving ship. It's overdue.

Israel has to rope-a-dope and outlast the Obama Admin. Until Obama is gone, Israel’s hands are tied, as they know they have no one at their back. And I mean no one. The UN is eternally after them; the UN is one of Israel’s main protagonist’s, along with all of the Muzzie Mid East countries, and most of Europe which has been anti-semitic for centuries. Doesn’t leave much left, does it. And the Obama Admin is secretly against Israel also. Thank goodness our Congress is mostly pro-Israel.

So, Bibi has to bide his time until he knows it is safe for him to act more overtly, in other words, when Obama is out of office. Therefore it is imperative that we work twice as hard to make sure that Obama loses in 2012; he and his minions are a major danger to world peace in general, as well as to Israel. The Muzzies smell Obama’s weakness and are like sharks circling in the waters. They will be making their moves in the next two years while Obama is still in office, as they know they have a secret ally in Obama, and/or a weak man to have to deal with. It is a dangerous time, in particular for Israel. Bibi is swimming with the sharks, and somehow must outwit or outlast them all. Bibi is up to it; I trust his instincts. Although it is a race against time.

I was thinking the same thing: 2 ships + 2 fish = no more ships
