I listened to a commentary about this on the nightly news tonight. It appears to be getting a lot more serious.
If the Neocons who currently infest the Israeli government go ahead with their plan to nuke Iran, Obama better make it loud and clear he is going to cut Israel off of all foreign aid -- not another dime should go to them -- zip, nada, zilch.
Of course Netanyahu and the other Neocons now in the Israeli government will expect our boys to be the ones to spill their blood and come to the rescue. And thanks to the Republican debates, we now know every single Republican candidate will give them what they want as they are all suckups to the Neocon ideology. So it's now up to Obama and the Democrats to call this potential war to a hal.
The problem is we have a good number on both sides in Congress whose loyalty, I'm afraid, goes to Israel first, and the U.S. second. Again, I have nothing against the Jewish people and the citizens of Israel. But I despise the bloodthirsty Neocons in our Republican party and in the top echelons of the Israeli government.
If Israel goes to war with Iran -- and Obama allows us to get dragged into fighting it for them -- then he's no better than Bush who was duped by the Neocons in his own Administration into going into Iraq. Cheney and Jeb Bush were two of the Necons who signed on to their master plan called the "Project for a New American Century" -- which is the Neocons blueprint for taking over the world for its resources.
Things are now starting to heat up, and those not familiar with the Neocons and their goals really ought to take a few minutes to educate themselves and read this article which is a basic, easy to understand summary of just what the Neocons are all about.

Does anyone really believe Iran is stupid enough to start a war with Israel jeopardizing the billions $$$ in oil and other natural resource contracts they have with other nations like Russia and China? Iran's religious leaders know if they start a war the billions $$$ now coming into their country would come to a halt so they're not about to allow any nuking of Israel to happen.

n - or however you spell his name -- is on his way out as the current leader of Iran anyway. Israel's leaders appear to be the ones who are the real enemies of this country and infinitely more dangerous to the U.S. than Iran could ever be. Israel does nothing but continually beat war drums against all their "perceived" enemies throughout that region and then drags us into doing their fighting for them.
Sorry, but them's the facts.
And then, God help us, we've also got the far right Evangelicals here in our own country who are on their knees daily praying for an Iran/Israel nuclear war to explode in hopes that Israel gets turned into a parking lot thereby triggering their "Rapture" up to Heaven. Never mind that the rest of us "unchosen ones" left back here on Earth will be stuck dealing with the aftermath of a Middle East Armaggedon. Thanks Evangelicals!
If you know a few prayers, now's the time to say them. What a mess.
