After readubg and rereading this post, my thoughts are still the same. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and others are trying to spring a trap on Israel on Israel. <br /><br />While I think my initial thoughts are likely correct, I've since had a new thought. Perhaps someone is feeding FF;s sources a load of misinformation. <br /><br />While the statement the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" is generally valid, here's how I think it works in this situation. The Saudis, the Egyptians, the Turks, the Iranians, and others in the region hate and despise Israel and now America more than they desipise one another. As such, they will all work together to oppose Israel or America. <br /><br />There will be plenty of time to resume the Sunni/Shia conflict once America and Israel are defeated. At least this is the thinking. As such, they will all work together as one to oppose Israel.<br /><br />The best way for America to "roll up its sleeves" right now is in the following areas, clean up of the Gulf oil spill, border security, and development of onshore and shallow water oil reserves. The Israeli Air Force is better trained and better led than the Aemrican Air Force. In addition, the Israelis have combined their own technology with that of others making them technologically superior to any thing America can currently field. If we were to attempt to assit them in the engagement of the Iranian threat, we would only be in the way. Our best bet is simply to get out of their way. They can do this job more effiienctly than we can.<br /><br />The US is incapable of "holding them back." The US might be able to irritate them but the US cannot hold them back. I'm with Louie. Just do it already. <br /><br />I pray Israel succeeds for two primary reasons. 1.)The Old and New Testaments of the Holy Scriptures reveal the special relationship God has with the Jewish people. To root against Israel is to root against God. I do not wish to be against God. Being against God is NOT a good position for one to be in. 2.) Iran is an enemy of the United States. Its leaders have called for genoicde against America on numerous occasions. As such, its in our interests that Israel succeed. They are also much more likely to succeed than we are. We should support them in any way we can and the best way we can support them is TO STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY. <br /><br />In a mission to take out the Iranian nuclear sites, the biggest hurdle will not be Saudi air defenses or air defenses in Iraq whether they are manned by Americans, Iraqis, or other allied forces. The biggest challenge will likely be Uranian air defense systems. <br /><br />Why is Israel delaying? Given that we can't stop them even if we wanted to, I can only make an educated guess. They may be concerned about losing business deals with the EU or American entities that are sympathetic to teh "Palestinians." Last time I checked Israel gets about 80% of its oil from Russia. Perhaps the Russians have threatened to cut this off if their ally is invaded.B.Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-66412446001550641082010-06-14T12:43:06.956-07:002010-06-14T12:43:06.956-07:00I think they would've if the US wasn't ho...I think they would've if the US wasn't holding them back.They'll wait until they really have no other choice so as to be able to deal with the fallout.Freedom Fighterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649470110087808596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-83471361409209902532010-06-14T12:36:09.578-07:002010-06-14T12:36:09.578-07:00just do it alreadyjust do it alreadylouielouienoreply@blogger.com
