31. #18 Long Island Sands Point Resident?
Sabza ,   La Quinta   (10.29.12)
The guy is a Muslim Iranian housekeeper showing off with his boss' residency. There are a lot of them who escaped Iran, sought residency in USA and the first thing they do is bad mouth the US and Jews. They always bite the hand that feeds them.
32. The God of ISRAEL has come down to us and speaks...
YAoel ,   New Yarushalayim   (10.29.12)
Thus says The Lord God: Behold, the kingdoms of men will rise and they shall raise themselves up, though night has fallen. And out of deep darkness the kingdoms of men will rise, and make themselves one by treason. And by many deceits and false promises, by vanities and vain flatteries, shall they come together in one... By the heaping up of lies, one upon another. Even unto heaven shall they raise themselves up, until their pride has risen high and their arrogance is puffed up beyond compare, until their loftiness flies high above all kingdoms of the earth... From those of ancient times, even to this day, shall they raise themselves up. For no kingdom has seen such loftiness, such expressions of vanity and loftiness, exhortations of unity and peace, expectations of safety from wrath... Protection against the hand of The Almighty, from Him who sits on high. Yet I shall bring calamity in waves! And by the strength of My hand shall the weight of calamity pile up, one atop another!... The full measure of My punishment bringing forth destruction without respite! Escape shall flee away, safety shall be a distant memory, and shelter shall not be found!... Forcing the rebellious into the rocks, the mighty into the clefts of the rocks, and the kings of the earth into the caves of the mountains. Under the crags of the rocks shall they seek shelter... From the least of them to the greatest, they shall seek to hide themselves from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of The Lamb! There shall be no peace at all! And the unity of the nations shall be eaten up, as the caterpillar devours the newly sprouted vine, as the worms beneath the ground eat up the roots. All of it shall wither, until the spark of the fire comes and sets the whole field ablaze!... By a spark and by a flame of fire, by a strike from the dark clouds, shall the flame be kindled by My own hand!... http://trumpetcallofgodonline.com/index.php5?title=Consider THE LORD GOD of Heaven and earth is speaking to THIS modern generation... THE TIME HAS COME!... History has an end... www.TrumpetCallofGodOnline.com
33. I do get a kick out of these YNET self-praise sessions
Cameron ,   USA   (10.29.12)
I spotted the title for this posting, and knew what was coming.
34. Why is US govt giving $ to Israel for weapon
Allen ,   Toronto Canada   (10.29.12)
Because both the US and Israel face the same enemies. But if you remove your bias you will realize that countries may have different national interests and sometimes some similar ones. It does not take away from the sovereignty of either country. Your comment smells of bias.
35. To: No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.29.12)
1. Wow! Is that your source of facts? The Internet? 2. Be careful. Your anti-Semitic invective is making you sputter. 3. Plenty of Jews in Sands Point. I suspect I hit a nerve -- you're nothing but a paid lackey for a Jewish family, and have to look every day at a lifestyle which you can never hope to achieve. 4. You're pretty sick, and in need of professional help. You have serious detachment issues -- from reality. Israel is a military power. Get used to the idea.
36. To: No. 33
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.29.12)
Didn't know you were clairvoyant. And what is wrong with pride in a tiny nation that has had to overcome so much, and has done so, with distinction? If it offends you .... too bad.
37. Buy more.
Matt   (11.01.12)
The US canceled their NLOS, the Javelin has not got the distance, it is one arm of the solution, as they get closer to the target. It is a good deal for Israel but there is only one way to deal with the swarming technique. With the Protector was not just the NLOS, that was spoken of, but the ability to deploy throw away drones, that are weapons in themselves, like the Harpy 2 way forward of the vessel, then you put bar armor and the Trophy on it. In addition to the BMD and Phalanx cannons, you would have to put addition C-RAM on the ships temporarily. The use of the Spike NLOS, Javelin, GAU-19, Barrett .50 cal, MK 19 40mm and lots of, along with the traditional close in defense .50, it is simple but it works, lot of Marines and sailors. The Iranians will end up doing to the US, what we told the US to do to them. with the Spike NLOS I think it is pride and with the doctrine to counter swarming. An attack on Iran and the issue of the 5th Fleet was a problem for Israel. We thought about the Javelin or the Spike of the same distance, it does not cut the mustard. The have to be culled at various distances, it is like space invaders. The US will go down the most complicated route, when the solutions is simple. The Protector is one option, but you can't get away from the simply solution. If Israel attacked Iran and the 5th Fleet lose a carrier Dick Cheney would kill me, so the doctrine to counter swarming and the Spike NLOS 25km. I can't make them buy or use the doctrine. But Israel can't be blamed, all measures were take to prevent it. We were that confident we told Iran to put on bar armor, to make it sporting. I can hit a hare in the head traveling at 70 km from 130 meters with iron sights. Big deal the IRGC travel at 60 km. And what use is a cruise missile that goes 145 km, in the Strait of Hormuz where swarming is going to be deployed. These are things Israel was thinking back in 09, not 2012. The idea came from two places RAND paper on swarming and using the Javelin and the cheap Australians that deployed the 16th Air Defense on their frigates during the first gulf war. And of course you have to take into account the covert use of Israeli merchant ships, which stated out and the humble limpet mine. Which means the 5th Fleet would have been dealing with less enemy vessels in the first place.
