Obama pulls US War Fleet from Syrian waters. Betrays 5 US Allies and allows huge Russian arms shipments to Syria.

The whole situation appears pretty messed up, but I would think a repositioning is occurring.

We all look to see where the US Navy assets are deployed as to gain the temperature of the situation rather than other assets, or deployments of other countries.

The British territory on Cyprus along with Jordan and Turkey would provide the US a broader and more stable platform to operate from (e.g the US already operates spy planes from Cyprus)

Such a repositioning would also give the impression that the US is de-escalating tensions, and at the moment I believe that would be a welcomed move by all sides.

However, going by photos and reports it seems to me that Damascus is already a deserted ruinous heap.. and wonder at what point could we call that prophecy full filled? perhaps if the FSA declare somewhere else the capital? thus taking away (city) from Damascus?

Yeah right..."Now that the American warships are gone, Russia’s Black Sea Fleet task force, which docked at the Syrian port of Tartus on Dec. 5, is the only war fleet remaining around the Syrian coast. According to debkafile’s intelligence sources, the Russian ships came to deliver a large consignment of arms for Bashar Assad’s army,"

Did you actually read the story.

Source is a bit dodge. & OP, you're not a military strategist so stop acting like you are.

These ships are sitting ducks anyway!
Also consider that they can not SIT waiting for ever, they are crewed by Thousands of Sailors and Marines who work out like crazy,eat like lumberjacks and are mostly horny heterosexuals,
You can only carry so much food/supplies on a ship?
And the boys are probably getting a bit rambunctious after sitting for how many months in a big tin can?
These young warriors are volunteer soldiers not inmates and should be treated as the honorable men that they are, I think you will agree?
The US and allies have airborne capabilities that are staggering!
Keeping ships inshore in modern times is unwise considering that Syria and Iran both have modern, very lethal ship busting weapons.
Any first attack will come from the air.
If they moved the boys off shore until softening up was complete and then put them on a beach,it would be like unleashing rabid dogs.
I speculate much but consider more factors than you,I think.
Do you think they are sitting in floating hotels with free booze,and dinner with the Captain,lunch by the pool perhaps?

This^^^^

Oh yeah, then perhaps you would care to point out any inaccuracies, instead of just making broad generalised statements.

Your argument dosn't wash because everything that you just said applies equally to the Russian fleet.*

Besides during the Napoleonic Wars England blockaded French ports for years at time in all weathers.

*Except probably for the bit about being volunteers.

Nah, I prefer to think of the wider picture and games that are being played..

As much as I dislike Obama, in sa'much as I think he'd prefer bombing Britain to bombing any other country, I also think the way I do, and this just miss-direction and a repositioning of assets.

I also think the Russians will be (and indeed are)on the side of the West, especially given the historical precedent that Russia tends to side, even with it's arch enemy when dealing with these nations.

The 2 times in the last 100 years that Iran fell to invaders was at the hands of the Russians/British, the White Russians/British and Soviet Russians/British. So it seems to me that approach is true no matter the flavour of Russian in power.

As for the existing arms transfer, I think we might be seeing something similar to the French helping to sabotage Argentine exocet missiles during the Falklands war.

I also think by allowing the Russians to arm the Syrians it gives the West a reasonable legal excuse to arm the rebels.. how convenient is that? the west needs a legal avenue to arm the Rebels.. and this might give that legal excuse.

As for Israel itself.. I honestly don't feel they'll be betrayed.. while Barry might be a nobend (I don't know him personally enough to say for certain) the US military can operate outside of US approvals, think again of the Falklands war where the US military acted without approval of the US government as provisions where in place for that co-operation to occur without approval. I am sure similar provisions are in place regarding Israel.

I will admit that I could be wrong, and that Israel could be being stitched up, however.. I don't think I am.

lol, i spent 7 years in a Christian school, so yeah, i am familiar with the passage.

As for trapping Australian fauna, you don't get much of a feed from lizzies and other reptiles, so i tend to go for Wombats and Kangaroos, on the odd occasion, a Koala.

The Russians have a huge well stocked base at Tarsus? (cant be bothered looking it up), no problem staying fueled and fed.
19th century Royal Navy was a whole different ball game.
Most of the crews had taken the Kings coin but some could not remember because of the booze or smack on the head ?
1 5 13

That argument dosn't wash either because there are two huge UK bases on Cypress. Besides which ain't you ever heard of at sea provisioning, they can stay at sea for months at a time when they need to.

Lol?

Man -- I tell you it breaks my heart to see we may be letting "allies" like Saudi Arabia down. Lord knows they've done great things for the average American citizen.

I hope you are aware that all religions maps are fake... Damascus of the bible ain't Damascus in Syria... or Israel in the Middle east ain't the promised land at all... its all based on lies and falsified maps... the truth they kept away from sheep eyes since the inquisitions.

Just remember there must be a prophet, who shall lead his people in the exodus out the doomed lands, before Damascus or any prophecy can be fulfilled...

There is only one prophecy in the fulfilling right now... and that is the Beast which comes out the sea to destroy a harlot state... for its written that GOD does this... and there will nobody to help the harlot, which shall be burned by fire and left naked... this is the only prophecy that shall be fulfilled when Damascus in Syria falls in the hands of the Turic - Muslim Brotherhood... Next shall be Tel Aviv...

AS GOES ISRAEL - SO GOES THE CHURCH


11-18-2012



Some of my children have distanced themselves from the apple of my eye (Israel) and sided with the enemy. [Zech. 2:8] I am not always pleased with the behavior of my children there (Israel), but they are mine. Don’t you know this country (this piece of land) is part of my inheritance? [Ps. 2:6-9, Joel 3:1-2]



I AM going to reign from Mount Zion in Jerusalem.* Her enemies want to devour her as a huge monster with iron teeth that wants to chew up and destroy everything in its path.



My children should be on the side of righteousness. This righteousness is clearly described in my Word. It does not include any of the things I hate!



Prov. 6:16-19 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. [NKJ]



The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by the peacemakers. The peacemakers do not desire hurt for any, yet they do NOT compromise with evil in order to bring peace. I never compromised with evil and I expect my church to do likewise.



Those who think they can accomplish “good” from evil are wrong. Goodness has its reward, while evil has its reward also. The two never meet because their fruit is so different. You cannot take a rock and call it an apple! You cannot take a piece of dung and call it an orange!



My kingdom is joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. It is goodness, love and sharing. It is not threats. It is not anger, accusations, lying or bullying. It is not thinking of ways to harm or get the best of your neighbor. It does not connive ways to get the upper hand!



The days ahead are going to be full of sorrows and troubles, but my bride will shine like the sun. She will be radiant with my glory. She will be set apart and stand apart from the world.



Those who think they can compromise with evil in regards to Israel are wrong, for as you compromise with evil you allow an entryway for the takeover of your own soul by a spirit that is not holy. Fighting against me for what YOU proclaim to be “good” will bring your downfall.



You are enslaved by what you hate.



Many who call themselves my children hate Israel and are proclaiming another gospel that does not come from me. This is dangerous, fool hardy and foolish.



I can deal with the Jewish people and the people living within the boundaries of the country of Israel. My Word is replete with descriptions of what I have done regarding Israel – how I have blessed them and how I have chastised them. If you choose against my chosen people you have chosen against ME, for in the end I will save them. My Word proclaims this! [Zech. 12:8-14, Zech. 13:8-9, Mal.3:1-4]



As goes Israel, so goes the church. If you desire the downfall of Israel you are asking for your own downfall as well. Be wise, not foolish. Study my Word – ALL OF IT! Time is short and many are choosing incorrectly. Your incorrect decisions can lead to fruit that will be like a millstone, dragging you down to perdition.



If you cannot even recognize my chosen people and have no faith that I can deal with them, how do you expect me to recognize you, for surely you are abiding in the enemy’s camp.



Your Jesus





*Ps. 48:1-2, Ps. 110:2, Ps. 132:13-14, Isa. 2:3-4, Isa. 8:18, Isa. 18:8, Isa. 24:23, Mich. 4:7, Zech. 8:2

I'm sure a few million other Ozzie's will also have the same idea. And the supply of wombats, kangaroos koalas and crockadillies is limited.

Helping RADICAL ISLAMISTS AND AL CIA EDA, SORRY ALQAEDA, IS NOT VERY NICE MOVE. US has become desperate empire in its decline.
That is why will crumble in the ruins.

Thanks LOLed @ that 1!!!!!!!!!1111111!

Debka = 1 star and unpin request.

Well arn't you a little bundle of joy then.
Your momma should have hugged you more when you where a baby.

I bet he didnt.....

Oh ya. And you are the one saying people better be prepaied to hunt sewer rats if they want to eat.

Honestly, I think it is best this way. Russia has made it very clear that they want everyone to stay out of it. Obama is playing it smart. We've already got heat going with North Korea, and we don't need any more agitation on out foreign relations. I don't care how pro America you are, The United States vs. The Entire World is a battle we would lose.

Do you get paid to write this bullshit?

Cities are much more likely to go up in smoke if the US attempts to prevent Russia from supplying its allies. US needs to butt out of the whole region.

Do Jews do things for free?
