Hey folks,
Friends and Allies? Support.
Enemies that want you, your friends and Allies dead? Show them they will not succeed.
Israel? Friend
Iran? Enemy.
Seven months ago, Israel and the United States postponed a massive joint military exercise that was originally set to go forward just as concerns were brimming that Israel would launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The exercise was rescheduled for late October, and appears likely to go forward on the cusp of the U.S. presidential election. But it won’t be nearly the same exercise. Well-placed sources in both countries have told TIME that Washington has greatly reduced the scale of U.S. participation, slashing by more than two-thirds the number of American troops going to Israel and reducing both the number and potency of missile interception systems at the core of the joint exercise.Now Obama and Crew want you to believe that it is a simple case of "Budget Cuts." The rest is "Classified." However?
“Basically what the Americans are saying is, ‘We don’t trust you,’” a senior Israeli military official tells TIME.
The reductions are striking. Instead of the approximately 5,000 U.S. troops originally trumpeted for Austere Challenge 12, as the annual exercise is called, the Pentagon will send only 1,500 service members, and perhaps as few as 1,200. Patriot anti-missile systems will arrive in Israel as planned, but the crews to operate them will not. Instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships being dispatched to Israeli waters, the new plan is to send one, though even the remaining vessel is listed as a “maybe,” according to officials in both militaries
U.S. commanders privately revealed the scaling back to their Israeli counterparts more than two months ago. The official explanation was budget restrictions. But the American retreat coincided with growing tensions between the Obama and Netanyahu administrations on Israel’s persistent threats to launch an airstrike on Iran. The Islamic Republic would be expected to retaliate by missile strikes, either through its own intermediate range arsenal or through its proxy, the Hizballah militia, which has more than 40,000 missiles aimed at Israel from neighboring Lebanon.Someone is going to have to. Plain and simple. Little Hitler {Mahmoud Ahmadinejad}, will not stop until he has a Nuclear Bomb and until he USES it to "Wipe Israel off the Map." If he can get two or three? We are next. Or, most likely, the same time we see the big boom in Israel, we will hear another here. This IS going to happen. It WILL happen. There is NO doubt about it. He said so. He is working hard on bringing this about. He will NOT stop until someone stops him.
You know, you can be as against War and against violence, all you want to be. I hate War. I hate violence. But that doesn't mean that someone who hates me, doesn't want to see me dead, just because I hate War. It doesn't mean my enemy is going to wake up one day and say. "Oh? You hate War. Oh OK. Sorry. I'll put my bombs away and we can have tea." That would be nice. Wouldn't it? Too bad that's not reality. No. They will say "Oh, you hate War? Good. Then just lay down and die." BOOM!
We need a Leader in this country that will let our friends and Allies know, in no uncertain terms, they ARE our friends and Allies. We need a Leader that will let our enemies know, in no uncertain terms, they ARE our enemies. They have to have no doubt about it. Problem is, seems our enemies know they are our friends, and our Allies have no clue what is going on.
