2012-01-15
To which they responded:
"It is the policy of the Israeli government, and the Obama administration, that all options remain on the table. And it is crucial that the ayatollahs in Tehran take this policy seriously," said Michael Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S.

#11  DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Pakistan] DCC DECIDED TO KEEP NATO SUPPLY ROUTE CLOSED.

DCC = Defence Cabinet Committee under PAK PM Gilani.

Methinks the FAS just moved their clock closer to Midnite as per possible sole or joint US, Israeli attack on Oran???

#10  ION WAFF > IRAN WARNS OF CRUSHING RESPONSE, as punishment for alleged US-Israeli killings of Roshan + other Iranian nuke scientists.

Perhaps more importantly, ARTIC = Iran hints at activation of any + all "Potentials" that may be useful to carry out Iran's punishment, i.e. TERROR GROUPS FOR TERRSTRIKES AGZ CONUS, ISRAEL???

Prolly safe to say ditto as per the UK.

#9  I dunno, grom. Publicly claiming that we've been sending private warnings has the benefit that Iran doesn't have anything solid against us to justify closing the straits.

(a) Iran doesn't need anything solid.
(b) The "crazy" I referred to was the idea that Israel should ignore existential threat because of potential danger to US personnel in Iraq---danger that's all Bambi's doing, anyway.

#7  AP normally I would agree but this is an anti-American President. He may actually be complicating the American and Israeli problem on purpose.

Of course this is Ø, so you may be right.

#4  Very Strange indeed,
unless this is some sort of scam to confuse the Iranians, this might be the final straw that will push us to go at it alone.
I wish there was some way to impeach Obama before the damage is irreperable.

#3  Debka mentions the 9,000 American troops already in Israel for a long stay, presumably with their stuff... Something is very odd.

#2  Could this be why they "postponed" the largest drill between US and Israel?

snip:Israel and the US have agreed to postpone a missile defense exercise billed as the largest ever in the country's history by two or three months.
