It could very well be cover up. Interesting stuff. If true that is a first to stall weapons shipments to Israel.

That's the price for stupid games Israel was playing lately. The positive aspect is that it even more lowers chance of war with Iran in the near future. The negative one is that it lowers Israeli military deterrence in the long run.

there seems a lot of noise from Western government about Israel, and considering how late it is coming in the day leads me to feel it is all media spin..

Sorry to sound so sceptical, but things suddenly do not change the way they have recently.. A number of governments backing away from Israel over the supposed Mossad hit in Dudai, the silence from some nations (Britain included) on new sanctions against Iran just leads me to feel this is all spin to keep the home crowds happy while the same deal trundle on..

When I see something concrete perhaps I'll beleive things are changing in the ME and perhaps we might see the long sought and elusive peace process in action.

Those bombs are in Diego Carcia airbase with our latest knoledge. So its only matter of hours, when those bombs are in Israeli hands, if needed. I see it would be political suicide to transport those munitions to Israel at this moment. I think for first strike Israel already have weapons they need...

We see the same situation in S-300 AA missiles, witch are ready to being transport to Iran from Russia, and those are located now at airbase in Belarus. There are permanently around 50 specialist from Russia placed in Iran, to secure latest knowledge and training to use those systems, when deployed.

Bombs and missiles are there, and its just matter of hours, when the hell breaks loose.

Obama admin cannot stop giving weapons to israel. While there may be plenty of reasons why to reevaluate our position on israel, the general public at large is still unaware of how dodgy Israel is being.
the MSM (both sides of the partisan aisle here) are still in a deep love affair with Israel and see almost no wrong they ever do, which in turn makes the average citizen unaware.

breaking the alliance would be in the eyes of most, like someone saying we will no longer protect a cute little puppy from being kicked by evil thugs...it would make no sense and it would be political suicide. Until the MSM starts reporting about what the israeli government is truely doing and the depth of their corruption and general asshatness, then we will be stuck in the same ole, same ole.

I am sure there are plenty of theories as to why the msm chooses to play down most of israel's monster moves..I personally will not go Gibson here (I quite like the jews), but corruption is corruption...and likewise, corporate interest is corporate interest.

Obama administration has grown a bit of a spine in the last month, but they are not even close to challenging our love affair with Israel...even if it is a disfuctional relationship.

One of the disadvantages of waging a propaganda war as the Israel and the U.S. and U.K. have been doing in Iran as part of a psychological war against it but also to drum up support in the populations for it is that it has no doubt kept the Iranian military on a high stage of alert for a very long time.

That makes taking advantage of a surprise attack much more difficult.

The advantage though is the longer you keep an opponent in a heightened state of readiness the more fatigued they become from that posture and the less alert they become as a result.

So anything you can then throw in there that minimizes the threat in the opponents eyes becomes helpful in taking advantage of that and getting them to relax their guard a bit.

There is a misinformation/disinformation war going on here and the reality is that looking at what’s being said for clues as to what is really being done or is about to happen is a pretty fruitless guessing game as a result of that.

The bad news is that the more armchair strategists and generals get sucked into the dramas and the intrigue the more support is created within the populace for another war we really don’t need.

First of all, let's keep in mind that these were transferred to a US military base. And the number one ally of Israel is....?

This is yet another case where Obama "seemingly" makes the right move -- to once again appease foreign governments -- but really it's a shell game.

To Foreign presidents: See....I'm tough on Israel! I blocked the shipment!

To Israel: Look, this looks really good to the rest of the world, but don't worry, they can be on Israel land in a matter of hours if needed....

This entire article and decision was simply a political move in order for Obama to continue to amass foreign support for the ME peace process. However, this is not, in my opinion, any indication of wavering support for Israel.

I'm not saying it's a bad move, I just don't think it's as significant as some think or hope.

This was threatened by the US a few days ago when they said the US may not deliver what Israel needs.

The whole "Bunker Buster" bombs story leak is too obvious IMO.

What people fail to realize here is that Israel is a friend of the United States as long as they are useful.

We were not always friends with Israel.

Before the Six Day War in 1967, we had plans to invade Israel. It was during this war the USS Liberty, gathering intel, was hit by Israeli jets. The US was warned at the time to back off, but failed to.

After the Six Day War, the US realized what a powerful asset Israel would be in the Cold War and Israel became a client state. By the 1973 Yom Kippor war we had a large resupply effort to help the Israelis and even threatened the Soviet Union, when they threatened to intervene in the war.

At the time Iran, was our biggest ally in the Middle East, but all of that changed in 1979 with the Islamic revolution.

We found a new ally in Iraq and used Iraq to fight Iran.

In 1990, Iraq was no longer useful. We had lost control of Iraq. Saddam no longer wanted to play our game. The kind of game where Iranians and Hezbollah were using American weapons to kill Iraqis and Israelis, where Israelis bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor and Iraq was fighting a proxy war against Iran.

I have said this before, that one day Israel will get tired of the game as well.

The US has repeatedly warned Israel, no attack on Iran.
To do so would be very detrimental to US broader long term interests in the Middle East.

Israel has also threatened to nuke every major city in Europe if things do not go favorably for Israel. The so called "Sampson Option".

We also now have rapidly worsening diplomatic relations between the US administration and Israel.
And elements within higher levels of the US military are now shouting the USS Liberty story from the rooftops, and saying that Israel along with Zionist traitors within the US administration were entirely responsible for 9/11

So we may see a situation where the military may decide to respond directly to any future Israeli false flag on American soil, by counter attacking Israel.
We may well see all those bunker busters EXPLODED in Israel..

Patriots within the US military may decide to take matters into their own hands and just ignore all the Zionist inspired treason and traitors in Washington.

And I believe the US public (and Europe) are now in a mood to cheer such a US military counter attack, if Israel carries out yet another false flag on the American people.

Thats too bad I was hopeing to see some distruction on TV. Personaly I'm hoping for chaos in the world. Because when the world falls apart at the seems. I have a list of a few prominent people from the news I'm gonna pay a visit to.

Theres a thread here about Israel being responsable for 9/11, it states that Israel is a mad dog, uncontrolable thats even prepared to attack the US or Europe if it felt threatend....and maybe thats why its best that the US doesnt sell them more weapons.

if its true, theres only one thing you can do with a mad dog.

Kill it before it bites you.

I think Israel is getting out of hand, and the US, who for so many years has armed and supported them, now feels the threat.
Israel is capable of dragging everyone into a nuclear war.
