“It’s roughly about a year right now. A little more than a year. And so … we think we will have the opportunity once we know that they’ve made that decision, take the action necessary to stop (Iran),” Panetta said on CBS’s “This Morning” program.”

If you were the leader of a country or even a group of people who has:

  1. heard repeatedly over the last eight years from another country near your location that they desire to see you wiped off the face of the earth
  2. knew that said country spent millions of dollars if not billions to arm and train terrorists to wreak havoc against your nation
  3. knew that they have a religious practice which advocates lying to get to your ultimate objective
  4. said country then begins a nuclear program which they do their best to be secretive while stating it is for civil/non-military application

 

Would you – the leader of the country put your people’s lives in the hands of someone else who can and does respond to the known 4 points with a comment that is steeped in “if” vocabulary?

 

Another way to think about it – using the same and FACTUAL points – as a career which is based on political philosophy and perception of leadership would you place your career’s future in the hands of such “wavering” precepts? As a political being wouldn’t you own your career and try to get in front of these scary realities so as to not lose points on perceived leadership abilities and strategic thinking misfires?

 

Lets look at it another way. If you were the president of the USA and your nation had just been attacked – lets say in at least four different ways – actually four terrorist attacks – would you try remedy the disagreement and loss of life with going to the UN and asking for them to open diplomatic channels with the terrorists so that we can agree to disagree but stop loss of life? It is 9/11 today and is that what the CES would have done in response to the attacks if he had been president instead of Bush? What kind of leadership would that have been perceived as?

 

Netanyahu has the reality of a 9/11 on a scale that could in one fell swoop eliminate the nation of his people. Just because Ahmadinejad is a leader of a nation does it make him less dangerous the a Bin-Laden was just a few years ago?  After all Ahmadinejad has a large armed military force plus a couple large terrorist organizations in his control.

 

Does the CES disagree with the way Bush handles the terrorist leader? If so – then why did he order the take down of him via military action without Pakistani sovereign support? Why is he using drones to kill terrorists abroad?

 

 

 

Remember CES = chief empty suit = current US president

Ottawa – out

A bit of interesting, possibly telling, news: Canada pulls out & closes embassy in Tehran while also expelling Iranian diplomats from Canada.

Here information can be found in reference to the caper referred to in the article.

2 cents:

Indeed a good question – why now? I don’t find it hard to believe that it is just as the Canadians are saying. Why? In today’s world of technology, leaks and so-called transparency (which is only that way if it provides positive positioning by those being so-called transparent) – I find it hard to believe that Canada – alone – got whiff of something. Personally I think the leaders in Ottawa should have left a long time ago, in fact why even have an embassy there? So anytime the Canadians actually wised up and left would lead to the question “why now?” Make sense?

Why share on this blog?

1. Further isolation of Iran means more pressure on them and also enraging them.
2. In the possibility the why now question is a whiff of something.

Spiritual reality

Krauthammer is again trying to get through the thick skulls of policy makers and citizens. His point is accurate. Again – what is involved in the Iran-Israel dynamic is ultimately a spiritual matter. Working solely from a secular POV is dangerous and wrong. His recent article shows half the spiritual component of the situation between these two countries. The other half of the formula is from the perspective of God and His prophecies that are yet to be fulfilled.

in the corner

Cutting through the US-Israeli debate over where to put “red lines” for Iran, Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah said Monday night, Sept. 3 that Iran would hit US bases in the Middle East in response to any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities, even if the Americans were not involved in the attack…Netanyahu called a special cabinet meeting for Tuesday, Sept. 4 with the participation of the heads of Israel’s clandestine services, Military Intelligence, the Mossad, the Shin Bet and the Foreign Office Research Division, to hear their annual report.
It is likely to go on all day with updates on the situation in Syria, Egypt and Jordan – all weighty topics. But the agenda will certainly be topped with a detailed rundown on the current state of Iran’s nuclear program.
After that rundown, the prime minister and defense minister will enter the final decision-making stage on war against Iran.

Nasrallah carried a triple message from Tehran to Washington and Jerusalem:
1.  Iran believes an Israeli attack will take place before the US presidential election on Nov. 6;

2.  Tehran is drawing on a powerful deterrent: Lest anyone expected a low-key Iranian response to an attack on its nuclear facilities, the Hizballah leader put them right when he said, “the response will be very great” and “America bears responsibility.”

3. By putting Nasrallah out front as a leading Iranian spokesman, Khamenei signaled that Hizballah would take an active role in the coming conflict.
DEBKAfile: The chatter about “red lines” in the last few days has therefore had the effect of stirring the Iranians into preempting them by a single sharp stroke.

Israel, specifically Netanyahu and the government has made the same mistake many other leaders in Israel’s history have made. A nation brought into existence by God’s calling out of Abram – they have looked solely at a fellow man as a protector for their people. Over the period of time since their recognition as a nation by world governments and the UN, they have again grown entangled in the devices of other governments and took their eyes off God. It ALWAYS has devastating repercussions. In the early days of the modern era of Israel, God delivered them repeatedly from their enemies. But as they have grown, become successful and more secularized they have sought leagues with other nations and allowed themselves to become pawns for other kings. In the current scenario that is unfolding, Netanyahu has placed too much trust and power into the CES’ hands. Now after many days have went passed which have allowed not only continual progress of nuclear technology to be realized in Iran, it has also allowed for strategy and resources to be determined and allocated for a swift and much heavier handed response to a military action in Iran. All because of Netanyahu placing his faith and country’s well-being in the last two administrations of the USA government. Israel is now backed into a corner and the corner man is the CES and he is not known for his ability to lead or make the right decision.

The spiritual dynamic to the Middle East conflicts are being overlooked because society on a whole is secularized. How ignorant of the human race!
