When he visits Israel next
month, US President Barack Obama will tell Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu that a “window of opportunity” for a military strike on Iran
will open in June, according to an Israeli TV report Monday evening.
Obama will come bearing the message that if diplomatic efforts and sanctions don’t bear fruit, Israel
should “sit tight” and let Washington take the stage, even if that
means remaining on the sidelines during a US military operation, Channel
10 reported. Netanyahu will be asked to refrain from any military
action and keep a low profile, avoiding even the mention of a strike,
the report said, citing unnamed officials.
In London Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said an Iran with nuclear weapons was “simply unacceptable” and warned the time limit for a diplomatic solution was running out.
“As we have repeatedly made clear, the window
for a diplomatic solution simply cannot remain open forever,” said
Kerry, on his first international tour as America’s top diplomat. “But
it is open today. It is open now and there is still time, but there is
only time if Iran makes the decision to come to the table and to
negotiate in good faith.
“We are prepared to negotiate in good faith,
in mutual respect, in an effort to avoid whatever terrible consequences
could follow failure, and so the choice really is in the hands of the
Iranians. And we hope they will make the right choice,” Kerry added.
A fresh round
of high-level diplomatic talks were set to begin Tuesday in Kazakhstan —
the first since last June’s meeting in Moscow failed to convince Iran
to stop enriching uranium to a level close to that used for nuclear
warheads.
Two weeks
ago, Netanyahu said he was looking forward to Obama’s visit and insisted
that he enjoyed a positive relationship with the American president,
despite reports to the contrary.
“We worked
together closely, closer than how it may look. We worked together on
security, diplomacy and intelligence,” he said, warning that Iran’s
nuclear weapons program “continues unabated” and that “they’ll soon have
enough material to produce a nuclear bomb.”
Netanyahu said earlier this month that he and
Obama had agreed on three key areas of consultation during the
presidential visit — thwarting Iran’s nuclear drive, grappling with the
instability in Syria and the risks of WMD there falling into rogue
hands, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Let's send Anonymous to fight the Russians when they come.
the russians are no match for us ..said Anonymous #3 to mr.#2...seriously, the world cannot stand idley by while a bunch of religous fanatics attempt to hasten the return of their mahdi by nuking the "big satan" and "little satan" or other countries in their delusional thinking that these suicidal acts will somehow usher in an islamic utopia led by their mahdi or twelfth imam..were backed into a corner and have no choice but to defend ourselves against a madmans idea of religion. its something weve been trying hard to avoid but apparently our hand is being forced.
iran is working like busy little beavers to get that first bomb airborn to "save"the palestinians by blowing them also to smitherenes and apparently the palestinians are okay with this cause after all their used to strapping bombs to their sons and daughters in their blind hatred.and i can only assume the dome of the rock is also expendable as long as they destroy that other brother from another mother.therein is where the madness lies...sibling rivalry.jockeying for Abrahams approval. the rest of the world just rolls their eyes and sighs...cant we all just get along?
yeah were tired of pushing back on your foreheads trying to keep you out of a fight! then your crazy stepbrother iran tries to jump in and were busy taking knives away from him so he wont hurt his self or someone else. everybody else wants to enjoy life but were too busy babysitting knuckleheads!
Peace talks are dwindling and don't make sense. Middle East, US, Russia and Asia are about to brawl. Thankfully we (law abiding citizens) are unarmed and in the middle...oh wait
who is able to make war with us?...hal lindsey you are dead wrong..we ARE the little horn in the mist of the three...england,spain,and france and we have grown out of the holy roman empire, which our government is modeled after
I meant we are all caught in the middle. And I didn't ask who you were...anonymous Lols
A russian general was quoted as saying they've built a huge nuke they named "satan" that is supposed to be a doomsday device that is all is needed to take out a country. I thought it was ironic that they chose the name their ally iran had coined for us. I guess they want us to know it has our name on it. Even tho their communist regime fell, in their eyes were still the enemy.
Jerusalem post nov.1,2010: Pm agrees to lease jordan valley from Palestinians. U.S. proposes Israel lease border region for 7 years. Is this the groundwork for a 7 year covenant or treaty?
Hebrew calendar year 5775 has 4 blood red moons and 2 solar eclipses in 2014-2015...red moons: 4/15/14 passover, 10/8/14 sukkot, 4/4/15 passover, 9/28/15 sukkot...solar eclipses: 3/20/15 beginning religious year and solar eclipse 9/13/15 beginning civil year... blood red moons also corresponded to other significant events in Israels history: 1948 and 1967 (six day war)
and now you have a name...Anonymous #3 has morphed into Mark...i guess i was a newbe or too lazy to type in a name. lolz
white smoke will rise this month and a new pope, the last pope will be chosen. peter the roman.or so goes the prophecy of saint malachy of the 1100's who says there will be a total of 112 popes,the one retiring as of now was #111... to add to the intrigue, there has'nt been a pope "retire" in over 600 years.they usually die in office. im not a catholic,but history shows us the holy roman empire was ruled by the emperor,and his religious counterpart the pope.this world system is supposed to make a comeback in the last days, feet of iron mixed with clay(Daniels vision of world empires) the iron symbolizing the roman empire and the clay is religion. satan will personally see his kingdom on earth realized in this unstable mix of elements. when they talk of a new world order like gearge bush sr. did in early 90's gulf war, their putting their faith in the devil that he will bring about a totaltarian world government where the rich truely get richer,and the poor are "human resource" meant to be exploited and controlled. but God has other plans for us if we accept his son Jesus who was the one and only true messiah.believing in his personal sacrifice for all humanity is the only way out for hebrew first,then gentile,both free and bondservant. muslims... i speak to you to heal your heart toward your cousin the jew and seek the face of the God of abraham isaac and ishmael. stop being a thorn in the side of israel before the great and dreadful day of the lord catches you unprepared.
pope francis is roman in ancestry as his family emigrated from italy...and interestingly he named himself after st. francis whose birth name was Giovanni di Pietro di Bernadone...peter was his middle name and i would bet peter was the name by which his fam and friends refered to him by... so the pope chose the name peter and the
pope by blood is a roman..Petrus Romanus.does st. malachy have a perfect score? it appears that way...look for your redemption,cause its about to get wicked from here on out...but God has the last word...he's the alpha and the omega...the beginning and the end
we make plans but the will of God prevails,its written from the foundations of the earth...nothing man throws at Gods plan will flourish...the whole world will soon find out when they seek to move Israel from its place that God has other plans
