Co-opted from Joel Rosenberg's column:

(WASHINGTON, D.C., September 16, 2009) -- War clouds over Iran are building rapidly.

On Friday night during the 9/11 National Town Hall Meeting, I explained that because Washington and the Western powers are doing nothing decisive to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, there is an increasingly likelihood that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will feel the need to matters into his own hands, and soon. In light of that assessment, I would draw to your attention to two sobering and must-read articles that are posted on my weblog.

1) A column yesterday by Wall Street Journal editorial writer Bret Stephens entitled, "Obama Is Pushing Israel Toward War." Excerpt: "Events are fast pushing Israel toward a pre-emptive military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, probably by next spring. That strike could well fail. Or it could succeed at the price of oil at $300 a barrel, a Middle East war, and American servicemen caught in between. So why is the Obama administration doing everything it can to speed the war process along?"

2.) A story in this morning's Jerusalem Post entitled, "We may have to attack Iran by December." Excerpt: "Israel will be compelled to attack Iran's nuclear facilities if Western powers do not impose serious sanctions against Teheran by the end of 2009, former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh said on Wednesday. 'We cannot live under the shadow of an Iran with nuclear weapons,' he was quoted as telling Reuters in an interview on a visit to the UK. 'By the end of the year, if there is no agreement on crippling sanctions aimed at this regime, we will have no choice.'"

I tell you, this is scary stuff! We had better hope and pray that Obama's administrative officials get their act together and get the Iran situation stabilized. Israel will end up having to act on it's own and we all will pay.
Once again, we see Obama's narcissistic attitude that whatever he dreams up or says will ultimately be right. What a joke. Why we ever elected this inexperienced nothing is beyond me.
