Like hell Israeli intelligence didn't know about this. This is a LIHOP -

Let It Happen On Purpose

I wouldn't be surprised if Israel set the whole thing up just to give them an excuse to break out the heavy artillery.

Uhh..that's quite a stretch there, Ollie.

Coincidentally yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kipper war which could be why ham ass decided to strike now, they probably consider it their Alamo or something.

Also the House of Representatives will not be able to pass any sort of funding bill for Israel until they appoint someone as Speaker and who knows how long that will take. Poor Joe will just have to wait before he starts handing out more of my cash.

Yesterday was also a holy day in which jews are to avoid the use of most electrical items, such as computers, TV's, etc.

The U.S. military is moving an aircraft carrier strike group and military aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support, and it will also begin supplying Israel with munitions and other military supplies immediately, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said.

Austin said Sunday afternoon that he had directed the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to go to the eastern Mediterranean. The group includes the carrier, a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, and four Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers.

“We have also taken steps to augment U.S. Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region,” he said. “In addition, the United States government will be rapidly providing the Israel Defense Forces with additional equipment and resources, including munitions. The first security assistance will begin moving today and arriving in the coming days."

“Strengthening our joint force posture, in addition to the materiel support that we will rapidly provide to Israel, underscores the United States’ ironclad support for the Israel Defense Forces and the Israeli people,” Austin said. “My team and I will continue to be in close contact with our Israeli counterparts to ensure they have what they need to protect their citizens and defend themselves against these heinous terrorist attacks.”

U.S. Central Command said later Sunday afternoon that it had begun moving the strike group.

“USCENTCOM stands firmly with our Israeli and regional partners to address the risks of any party seeking to expand the conflict,” said Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, the commander of Central Command.

Two U.S. officials familiar with the planning said the assets, specifically the ships, will not be in place for several days.

The U.S. is also working through plans for a possible noncombatant evacuation — helping Americans get out of Israel, the officials said. Nothing has been decided or ordered, but officials are working through options, including one that would involve putting some Americans on the Navy ships to get them to safety.
