Actions always speak louder than words and right now all there has been is words of late, time for some action. RIGHT NOW. AMERICA NEEDS TO ACT OR WE REVERSE 50 YEARS OF STRATEGY.

I say that in the shadow of the obama admin seemingly reversing 40 plus years of international maneuvering. Quoting: Major-General Orde Wingate aka.. Obama has given up on Israel and focused on establishing a cooperative regime to rule the middle east. this is a really serious issue for major powers. changing administrations can't help but effect foreign policy. the key, no matter what the current administration's feelings about various things, is to shift slowly -- nobody should feel the us might give up on thier country just because the president changed. and nobody in the us should feel that their country is ignoring major security concerns out of paritsan, personal or ideological dislike for a country. but if the us keep on electing presidents that want to, say, cut israel loose, the us should do that. But when i say sooner or later I mean four or five elections in a row. by the time a country is cut loose it should no longer be possible for it to be under the illusion america is its best friend. that's the real problem here, i think. but keep this in mind -- deciding to invade syria because its leader is doing what syrian leaders have been doing for fifty years is no less of a policy reversal than cutting israel loose. barging in on what is arguably another nuclear power's "area of influence" -- same thing. |

It may not sound too good but its true. Do you really thing any country would sell another country military technology without backloadibg it with some sort of spy/Trojan horse virus allowing it a back door access. And yes, I'm a firm believer that the united states has sided with India long term as they out number the pakistanis and pose a historical threat to the chinese. India and america are symbiotic. As are America and Canada in all but colors and name. Our families fight together on the beaches of Normandy and Inchon. And I personally met many yucks in the terrible valleys of Afghanistan.

Things were much cheerier back in 2011, but the war index got to 10.9 a few times. Now things are much gloomier. My reasoning on this index was: Based upon events and all, I have developed a scale from 1-11 for regional war in the MiddleEast where 1 is long cherished peace and 11 is all out war. From there we are so close to all out war, but while I am on vacation I may try to lower the index and see how long we can keep it there. Let m sleep on it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1328821 The same Obama who turned Libya into a gang land paradise that is currently unloading its seized weapon cashes into Gaza, via Egypt a place, thanks to Obama, that has been taken over by the gang of gangs aiming to realize the "Great Dream." Great Dream: Jerusalem transformed into an Arab Capital after the genocide of jewish people is complete: The heart of the campaign is to monopolize the fear of God for ultimate control of mens minds, body, and soul. What better for of oppression than Islam for a dictator to control the masses with? Obama Muslim call to prayer: “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.” From south we take a turn to the east where Saudi troops are allegedly massing into Jordan to join into the frey. meanwhile Turkey is funneling the (Rebel) Free Army down past its boarders and through Syria, while amassing its own military for an invasion. Make no mistake about it, the chaotic frenzy sweeping across the Arab region becomes structured when viewed throught the lens of Jerusalem. From Jerusalem the structure of this tsunami emerges like a hurricane poised to come crashing down on Israel who just so happens to be in the eye of the Arab storm. Mubarak and Gaddafi are down, now Assad alone stands in the way of the tsunami crashing down on Israel. These three leaders have failed in their endeavor to take out Israel, now they are being replaced with more aggressive leadership in regards to the endeavor of the dream. Can you see structure in the form of chaos. The prize is Jerusalem, and it appears this could turn into a dog fight for it from all directions, especially with Iran feeling left out of the spoils, while Egypt is already claiming Jerusalem as its capital. Is it no wonder Iran just wants to annihilate the entire region? I've not even touched on Russia & China's alleged war games with Iran and Syria. I can't help but wonder whether or not Obama may be aiming to take Jerusalem for himself, and turn it into the capital of the world, in an attempt to make it the home to his throne? Obama does not need permission from congress to invade any nation. With no birth certificate what is to stop Obama from declaring himself Mahdi, the Muslim Messiah who has finally emerged to deliver the world from its occupation of infidels? End times are starting to heat up to the crescendo of the second coming of the actual messiah given the fact that the end time leader who allies with the false prophet (Mohamed) will only get 3 1/2 years to rule, Obama has been in power for 3 1/2 years this month, and imagine that Israel is on the verge of war being prophetically surrounded. [link to www.algemeiner.com] As for the rebel army, there are actually two factions. The first is the Free Syrian Army, led by Mustafa El-Sheiq. The second body is the Syrian National Assembly, a less violent faction concentrated more on non-violent resistance. In general, the makeup of these armies is unclear, with their numbers estimated between 5,000 and 40,000. It is hard to define who comprises these groups. It is known that most of the rebels are Sunni, and yet the Muslim Brothers are active and there are also Shiite factions associated with Al-Qaeda. Each group has different objectives and aspirations... That's why I wondered the other day, why Obama is so keen on implementing religious extremism in those yet secular arab countries. Why are al quaida elements together with other terrorists and muslim hardliners now called "liberation army" ? There is a bigger plan in works. Something not good for Israel. Israel is the prize and this is why the radical elements are so hell bent on joining eachother to get the leaders who have failed to take out Israel out of the way to make room for those who can. |

"Hi," he says, "I'm Mike. I mistrust everything I don't control -- feel it should be destroyed, plain and simple." Uh, hi .... "The west", btw, isn't a nation and doesn't have interests that are identical to those of the us. |
