"This downgrade of US participation in an annual war exercise with Israel is more than striking. It adds up to the dismemberment by the Obama administration of the entire intricate strategy US and Israel have built over years for the deterrence - and interception if need be - of any Iranian/Hizballah/Syrian missile assault on Israel."Debkafile goes on to say this: "The inferences are cruel: The US defense or second-strike elements - which had been slotted into place by the military strategists of the two armies - will not be there. Their absence slashes the time available for Israel’s alarm-and-interception systems to spring into action - the moment the engines of Iranian ballistic missiles heading its way are fired - right down from the originally estimated 14 minutes' notice. It also means that Barak’s estimate of 500 dead in the worst case of a war with Iran must go by the board." One must question why Obama is protecting Iran? It is clear that Obama does not want Israel to attack Iran. It is ALSO clear that Obama is intent on allowing Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, which, of course, means -- so will the Islamofascist terrorists the world over. Is Obama, himself, preparing for the appearance of the "Hidden (or twelfth) Imam?" Clearly, there are but two explanations for Obama's actions here. Either the US has (somehow) become -- overnight -- a second rate military power without the means to participate in the joint military exercise with Israel, or Obama has thrown Israel to the wolves. I'd like to establish a few things here: I am not a Jew. Though a Christian, I am not an evangelical Christian. I am not a bible scholar, nor a minister of The Gospel, though I did serve as a lay minister for a while. I have a fair grasp of the scriptures through years and years of formal and informal study. Now, having said that, allow me to point out that there is a clear warning, directly from God, dating from the establishment of the Hebrew people, that God would bless those who blessed them and curse those who cursed them. (Genesis 12:3 -- "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.) I realize to those who do not believe in God, this doesn't mean a thing. But, I'd also suggest they might want to check the recent history of Israel's enemies since 1948. That ought to give doubters "pause," as they say. Now here's the thing: America has suffered since Obama, obviously no friend of Israel, was sworn in as President. You can argue that America was in trouble BEFORE Obama was sworn in. Yes, you can. But is unarguable that America's downward spiral became far more distinct and far deeper and the decline swifter than before. And -- the decline continues. To me, it is clear. When America rids itself of its current leader, Obama, and elects a leader who supports (blesses) Israel, America will stop its decline and climb back up to its former place of prominence among the nations of the world. It is just as clear that as long as Obama remains President of the United States, things will only get worse for America. If you think it's bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet! The America people support Israel. It is our leader who does not. It is up to us, the people, to rid this nation of the insult to Israel in the White House. But it MUST be done by the people of America at the ballot box November 6th.
