According to the top military analyst for Israel’s Hebrew Language Channel 10, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “determined to attack Iran before the US elections,” once again bringing the timetable for war into what Obama Administration officials earlier this year called the “sweet spot” for such a war.
Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have been loudly pushing for the war for months, and have openly spurned popular opposition as well as criticism from the military’s leadership. The Obama Administration is said to be trying to push for a delay until after the vote but the analyst, Alon Ben-David, added that “I doubt Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay.”
Meanwhile, defense officials have been pushing 91-year-old Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of much of the religious right in Israel, to weigh in on the attack. Yosef has regularly called for the deaths of those he perceives as “enemies” of Israel.
US officials have gone relatively quiet on the matter, with Gen. Martin Dempsey saying the US is not under any pressure to “back” an Israeli attack. That doesn’t mean that an attack might not happen unilaterally, however.
WARNING>>>< WARNING>>><
WASHINGTON — President Obama on Monday threatened military action against Syria if there was evidence that the government of President Bashar al-Assad was moving its stocks of chemical or biological weapons. It was Mr. Obama’s most direct warning of American intervention in Syria, where Mr. Assad’s military is fighting an 18-month-old rebellion.
If this man wants peace the only thing he needs to do is reach for peace and stop giving all that weapons to these barbarians. Beside,, what IS THIS MAN IS TALKING ABOUT.., if there are any chemical or biological weapon why would Syrian government want to move them and to where..?
These words and rhetoric’s are the sign of desperations, is coming from a man who supposed to be for the peace, yet for now he have shown the opposite of the matter is more true then what he have promised. Look: people, this war according to the plan was going to be like what NATO did in Libya by lying to the world and then having a NO FLY ZONE and then for US and EU and perhaps Israel to invade Syria.
When they use the word "Wrong hand", what dose he means by that..? The Syrian government would be the wrong hand…, is this what he means…? they already have it in their hand and controlling it, they only wrong hand here is these barbarians and the falsified “rebels with no cause”…., then again if this man want peace he needs to do the right thing and stop giving all that weapons to these terrorist groups and or supporting those who dose supply weapons to these terrorists and alike rebels.
Syrian war is not working and people start having questions and doubts about Barack Hussein Obama hand in hand with Hillary Clinton starting another war in Middle East. Although Jim Baker the Saudis and UAE Oil tycoon representative.., and some other national – international recognized faces have announced their support for Hillary but the matter of fact is that this war is a lost bet by all those “recognized” faces from US democratic party to the German Christian democrat party. For these people is either to admit to their warmongering mistakes and apologies to the world and start squeezing Israel demanding it to follow the human rights and all other international laws, stop their settlement projects, as is called, and for US and EU to stop paying Israel by the billions and for Israel to recognize the 1967 Palestinians land or this war, if is continued, one way or the other will spillover the borders of many country and then US and EU can joining in facing much bigger war’ which they cannot afford.
Israel has not a way to attack Iran.It can't be through Turkey,can't be through,Saudia or Afghanistan.it can't be Iraq.So the plan of attack will concentrate on Gaza and America and the free world will take on Iran and Hizballah.Israel and the free world are waiting for a provocation and make efforts to invent one,as usual.But the free world has as always internal problem which "threaten" their style of life,their freedom.Such is Julien Assange or,some time ago,Bobby Fischer,the genius which sinned regarding the free world because plaid chess in Yougoslavia.America is a tolerant country:ones can say that Bush,Chenney,Wolfowitz,Faith etc,etc are more criminal than Robert Fischer and deserve to be jailed but the fact that it is conversely,Assenge and Fischer are the first target for American justice can be understood only by an other genius,in law this time,one as Dershowitz.
What stuff did you smoke?
I'm thinking about those stupid Germans, who did perhaps the most irresponsible and pathologically insane thing any White Western European nation has ever done – when they sold those submarines to Israel and now these psychopaths have them armed with nuclear missiles.
That gives deranged psychopaths like Netanyahu and Barak the ability to threaten every nation on Earth – i.e., nuclear blackmail. It also is the most likely way that Israel will try to attack Iran, which means using a nuclear weapon first strike against a non-nuclear nation which hasn't attacked any other nation in a couple hundred years. By doing it this way, they don't have to get permission to fly over any other nation's airspace.
And, if these raving lunatics do this – then I would not be surprised to see a massive nuclear retaliation against Israel by Iran, Russia and probably China.
If the Israelis are smart, they'd better do some housecleaning and retire these two psychopaths before they start a nuclear WW3.
Way to go, Tim! Tell it like it is! You have our back. Nuttyahoo and his fellow psycho Barak need to be either locked up in a facility like Alcatraz, or on some uninhabited island somewhere in the middle of a vast ocean – the Pacific or the Atlantic, perhaps. Either way, they'd be far away from any civilization they'd threaten to destroy. And, to ensure this, take away any means of communication with the outside world, so that they cannot threaten it.
The Angela Merkel Government in Germany should be totally ashamed for abetting Israhell's blackmail of the whole world by selling this evil entity enough advanced submarines with nuclear weapons capability that would destroy the world as we know it. What do we call a nation that abets such barbarism?
Tim,
please say "stupid and corrupt German politicians"!!! It's not that the German people would have agreed! I know that there is widespread anger about this among German people. ut we have something that politicians call "democracy" and as Gore Vidal said, if voting would change politics it would be outlawed!
The Germans sold the U-boats to Israel because the Zionists control the German government just like they do the U.S., plus the Germans through 67 years of relentless propaganda, are still clinging to their absurd guilt trip about World War II. Billions and billions of Deutschmarks and Euros in "reparations" to a little outlaw state that didn't exist until 1948.
This is the scariest moment in human history. A nation of religiously deranged people armed with lots of nukes is going to use them.
And the world does nothing. It hardly even reaches the headlines.
Our extinction as a species is close at hand. When the bombs start falling, people will ask, "How come we didn't realize, do something!"
Silence will be the answer.
Israel ain't that important or powerful. If its nut-job leaders ever mess with Iran they'll get their butt whipped and handed to them as the Persians guarantee.
If Nutty Netanyahu doesn't succeed in starting World War III, and utlizing the Samson Option, maybe his own people will hang him.
Finally the Zionists have found a solution to the threat of another holocaust: Start WWIII and end life on earth for all time.
Seriously? He doubts that "Obama could say anything that would convince Netanyahu to delay"? How about: no more US taxpayer money for you parasites?
They know Obama can't say that. He doesn't want to lose the election.
THis regime wraped in "history of lies and deception" will on the end truly cease to exist, because fast growing number of /normaly ignorant to politics/ people is starting to see truth terrorist place with fanatical leaders acting like real lunatics…. only waging wars of aggression. I can see "mankind united soon" and quitly and quickly destroing this "living and visible satanism"…I hope the Jews obsering Torah /Truth God fearing Jews/ living mainly in disapora like instructed!!! from scriptures will take part when World free of Zionism will Wage process of everlasting peace and interduce UNIVERSAL MORAL CODEX freely recognized by FREE Nations. Let us first support Iran in its brave stand against this Ever aggressive Israels regime, because Mankind can only benefit when Brutal, colonist, atheistic bloodthirsty ideology Zionism is defeated and removed forever from pages of history…peter czech
….defense officials have been pushing 91-year-old Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the spiritual leader of much of the religious right in Israel, to weigh in on the attack. Yosef has regularly called for the deaths of those he perceives as “enemies” of Israel…He calls us Cattle, Goims and beings only good to serve Jews…/he means Zionist Jews, because trully religious Jews dont represent evil/
REALLY HATE CRIME, but no protest from "prestitutes". Truth display of Eartly Satanic power…peter czech
Iran must show no mercy if this happens, and if Israel is sick enough to use a nuke, then it should be nuked in return..which will happen since Iran does have access to these weapons via Pakistan. This war may be its last considering all of the enemies that Israel has. Because Israel acts with such arrogant malice against the indigenous Palestinians, a return attack will be that more brutal, and decisive.
Does that mean he's going in first?
If Netanyahoo even LOOKS like he's starting a war to manipulate our nation's presidential election, it will be one ugly scene in our politics from then on.
If Israel wants to attack Iran and get its butt whipped as Iran guarantees, that is their choice. It is not our problem.
The last few weeks there has been a sharp hike in our petrol prices. An indication ?
