#1 Can't blame 'em - the clock is steadily ticking LOUDER + FASTER.

* TOPIX > [Haaretz] REPORT: LEBANON BOMBING WAS ATTEMPTED HIT ON HEZBOLLAH CHIEF [Nasrallah].

* SAME > SENIOR ISRAELI NAVY COMMANDER: HAMAS, HEZBOLLAH THREATEN [all of]OUR PORTS + OIL RIGS, + majority of DOMESTIC SEA LANES = COASTAL TRADE ROUTES WID IRAN-SUPPLIED MISSLES.

* WAFF > [Global Research] THE WAR IN LIBYA: THE GLOBALIST PROJECT TO CREATE "THREE LIBYAS".

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > JCS NOMINEE: IRAN MAY CARRY OUT "DEVASTATING ATTACKS" AGZ US IN IRAQ.

* SAME > US MILITARY CHIEF WARNS IRAN ON [making serious] NUKE MISCALCULATIONS, vee USA.

IIUC read, DON'T MIL THREATEN ISRAEL OR IRAQ, + DON'T GIVE ANY NUKE-WMD TECHS TO ANY OF THE HARD BOYZ UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE ATTACKED + INVADED.

#2 "As long as Mossad is leading the fight against the bomb, it will get the big budgets," the source told the newspaper. And the question of whether Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities will partly depend on the internal power struggle between the IDF and Mossad.

Hasn't been a "question" in the US for decades. DoD has historically lagged lags behind our Klingon "intelligence" masters in the funding olympics.

#3 A fourth scientist was wounded and subsequently appointed to head Iran's nuclear commission.

Nah. Things like this only happen in movies.

#4 Ordinarily Der Spiegel is noisy. Their circulation is probably down and they have ramped up the noise.

A strike on Iran? Been hearing that rumor for quite awhile. Wonder which side the ONE would sidle up to?

#5 And who would be pressuring restraint?

BHO is on video signing a condolence book in the Embassy of Norway, after an anti-muslim killed people (including 4 muslims). He is NOT on video signing a condolence book in the Embassy of India, after muslims murdered 22 Hindus in the same week. Is the Prez pro-muslim? Just asking.

#6 Wonder which side the ONE would sidle up to?

I have not doubts about his muslim sympathies. What I was wondering is whether or not he would attempt to bring the resources of the U.S. against Israel should an attack occur on the Iran's reactors?

Never missed a statement celebrating the start of Ramadan; never issued a statement celebrating Easter.

You do the math.

Netanyahu is probably wondering if he can wait until after our next election.

#9 BHO needs Jewish campaign donations. Netanyahu might be wise to do whatever needs doing, while BHO is stuck sitting on that razor-thin fence.

#10 Most Jews have abandoned support for BHO. His "hope" campaign crap was a bill-of-goods; he hasn't delivered anything positive.

Hindu Bachelor Farmers don't aren't a swing vote in a possible swing state.

#12 Last count had the Muslim-American population as reaching up toward two million, as I recall, nothing like the six million claimed (the claimers have the same problems with counting as do the Palestinians). They aren't a swing vote anywhere except Detroit. But they fit neatly into the romantic anti-colonial narrative, and so must be favoured.

#13 If O brought US resources up against Israel, or insinuated, he would bring down a firestorm that would topple his presidency.

Obama is pro-Obama. The apparent Muslim favoritism, is, as TW notes, part of the fashionable elitist narrative, and thus is mere pandering to his lefty base.

#15 Agreed there RandomJD, TW.

It shows when 3(?) months ago the admin advertised the unofficial official opening to the campaign and now there are salesmen on TV saying, oh no this jobs tour is about our jaoowbs.

As S said.

Politically, like Netenyahu's deal about '67 borders the other day. It just happened, unexpectedly, right after debt negotiations.

#16 NEWSMAX > [Timmerman] IRANIAN [Kurd= PJAK] DISSIDENT LEADER CLAIMS VICTORY [agz IRGC], WARNS US.

> LOSS OF QUANDIL TO IRGC = Iran will control or dominate the Kurdish populations in BOTH IRAQ + IRAN.
