Saudis give nod to Israeli raid on Iran

Biden: U.S. Won't Stand in Way of Israel on Iran Nukes

Two headlines jumped out at me this morning. The first concerning the Saudis supposed tacit approval to the Israelis potential to launch a preemptive strike on Iran. That story leaked out early this morning, then several hours later, a new revelation by our own vice president. (And since when is Joe Biden the lead man for releasing Obama administration foreign policy. )

Especially concerning the more than touchy reality surrounding public discussions of the Iranian nuclear program and Israel and potential attacks. It seems to me that we may be in the midst of watching a substantive sea change on the part of both America and certain middle eastern entities, as it concerns what to do about the Iranian nuclear problem.

And what better place to run up the test balloons of public opinion, than in the Sunday headline sections of various national media. I remember all too well the Sunday when the news story broke of a supposed cult called the Branch Davidians in Texas. A full expose on David Koresh and his Branch Davidians ran that Sunday in a number of major American papers.

Allegations of child abuse and all manner of other allegations were bantered as fact in those articles. And the following day is when the siege at Waco began. I can still look back on those stories and see sound reason to believe that those stories were purposeful media plants. These stories were purposely floated on a Sunday, to soften up the psyche of the American people (IMO) for what the government knew was about to happen the next day. I have that same feeling after seeing these two articles concerning a potential Israeli attack on Iran, suddenly appearing within hours of each other in the MSM today.

Is something about to happen in Iran? Involving an Israeli attack and the subtle but well wished blessing of America and a number of her allies? I suppose we will have to wait and see. Just don't be surprised later on this week if we suddenly find ourselves at war with Iran. Remember, Achmed the the crazy president of Iran and the Mullahs of Iran have long promised to attack America and Americans if anyone attempts to attack Iran's nuclear ambitions.

I don't like it. something smells fishy. But we do have to take out Iran's nukes, unless this is a trap to get us to attack and then find out we didn't take out the nukes and the World sides with Iran against an "unprovoked" act of aggression?

I don't see the comparison. You're saying (okay, Locutisprim is saying) the publicity about the Branch Davidians was to inflame public sentiment against them.

The current articles about Saudi Arabia/Iran/Israel are about sanctioning Israeli action against Iran. Nothing to inflame public sentiment against Iran.

You missed my point Dan, I am not saying that the media advance stories on the Branch Davidians were designed to inflame the public.

My point was, the press advance stories were aimed at paving the way for ATF attack on the Branch Davidians.

The same as these stories cropping up now about Saudi Arabia and America supposedly giving tacit approval to Israeli strikes against Iran.
