War Imminent?

A shaky regime always needs to distract from its problems at home.  A war would rally the masses behind Egypts distressed military, and which soldier of Allah can resist the  cries of itbach al Yahood (kill the Jews) when Allah promised them ‘booty’ as a reward?

Israel will not tolerate firing against its citizens: At the same time Ehud Barak was speaking, a rocket fired from Gaza landed in Sderot. No injuries were reported and no damage was caused.

(Cairo) After the eighth rocket was launched from Gaza into Israel on Thursday, the new Egyptian Foreign Minister, Nabil Al-Arabi, warned Israel against taking any army maneuver against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The spokesman of the Hamas government, Taher Nunu, said that the Hamas government “appreciates” the position of the Egyptian foreign minister, Nabil Al-Arabi.

I get the impression that war is just around the corner in the Middle East.

Obamessiah Orwellian News Speak:

eye on the world links:

• Obama: Libya fight is not war, it’s ‘kinetic military action’ A war by any other name is still a war, even if started by a Nobel Peace Laureate bypassing the Congressional approval. No?  If ‘kinetic military action’ confuses you, you should be reminded that the Obamamessiah doesn’t like ‘victory’ because it would create disgruntled losers, or something:

“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’ because, you know, it invokes this notion of Emperor Hirohito coming down and signing a surrender to MacArthur,” Obama told ABC News.

Meanwhile, in Syria:

• ‘More than 100 killed in Syrian anti-government rallies’ But guess what? Events like that are not on the radar of the UN Human Rights Council whose agenda is dedicated to one country and one country only – Israel, which is accused of being the biggest human rights violator out there.

Just a month ago Obama  pressured congress to donate $ 1.7 million to Gaddafi’s military

(FOX News) — While President Obama calls Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi a threat to his own people, just one month before attacking Libya the president asked Congress to increase U.S. aid for Qaddafi’s military to $1.7 million.

Liberals really do believe that Obama is intelligent.
