absolutely. We may never know what Biden threatened with. Can you imagine the uproar if Israel goes back in with force ? This is one more gigantic foreign affairs screw up by FJB to "boost" his image DEMs really are getting desperate. A cornered rat is a dangerous rat. | |||

Probably halting the sale and support of F-15EX & F-35, no more R&D of any missile defense (Arrow 3, David Sling, Iron Dome, etc) and no more intel sharing. Given the unstable nature of Brandon and his own anti-semitism, I'm sure he wanted a full cut-off. | |||

OSINT Defender Hamas Negotiators have reportedly told International Meditators in Cairo that it has No Ability to Release the 40 Hostages in the Humanitarian Category (Women, Children, and Elderly) that were included in yesterday’s Ceasefire Proposal because out of the 136 Hostages that remain in the Gaza Strip, a Significant number are now believed to be Dead. https://twitter.com/sentdefend...r-ceasefire-n2637509 Despite the Biden administration's opposition to Israel's plans for Rafah, Netanyahu said in a video on Monday that there is a date set for such an operation to root out terrorists in the city at the southern edge of the Gaza Strip. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/...r-ceasefire-n2637509 | |||

I'd rather have luck than skill any day |
Article in WSJ last night said Iran expected to attack Israel directly, not with proxy, inside 48 hours. Iranian Attack Expected on Israel in Next Two Days Gold up $60/oz today. Oil up $2.10/brl today. | |||

And to make matters worse, Oil prices could spike to $100 if Iran directly attacks Israel. Need I remind you FJB emptied the SPR to lower gasoline prices going into an election year? Just the kind of foward thinking you expect out of your Commander-in-Chief before hostilities begin. | |||

I despise FJB as much as the next guy, but that's a little dated and is referring to the '22 election not the '24 election. Drawdowns occurred in '22 and ended in July '23. 100% of oil movements have been receipts (i.e. inventory increased) from Aug '23 thru 4/5/24. At 100% refinery operating capacity the 4/5/24 reserves is nearly 20 days, and normal refinery utilization (i.e. factoring in downtime for maintenance, upsets, etc.) puts us at about 22 days. The purchases since last summer have added about a day of refining capacity, but I'd like to see the SPR up above 30 days.

CNN also reports Washington CNN — The US says it is on high alert for a significant Iranian retaliatory attack on Israel as fears grow of a wider regional war. There remains a “real,” “credible” and “viable” threat of Iran launching strikes, the White House said Friday, following Israel’s attack on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria last week that killed three Iranian generals. President Joe Biden, who warned this week that Iran was threatening a “significant attack” on Israel, has been receiving constant updates on the situation from his national security team. The US and several other countries, including Britain and France, issued new travel guidelines for government employees in Israel as the Iranian threat loomed. “We’re watching this very, very closely,” said John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman, who declined to provide information about the expected timing of the threat. The Defense Department is moving additional assets to the Middle East region “to bolster regional deterrence efforts and increase force protection for US forces,” a US defense official told CNN, as Israel and the US brace for a potential Iranian attack. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/12...at-israel/index.html | |||

^^^^Regarding the SPR; It is the STATEGIC petroleum reserve. Not the get gas prices lower petroleum reserve. It does NOT need to be drawn down for any reason except if needed to fuel our military or to provide crude temporarily in the case of a disaster that takes out crude production. It needs to be filled and left the hell alone. | |||
|
Savor the limelight |
Serious, but probably dumb question, about the SPR: does the oil have shelf life? Is there a benefit to rotating it? Like I said, probably a dumb question since it was sitting in one hole in the ground for millions of years before being transferred to another hole in the ground, but I don’t know. | |||

I can't find anything on an attack by Iran on Israel. My engineers would have alerted me too. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

The drones apparently have been launched but will take several hours to arrive. Both the US and Israel believe that they'll be able to shoot them down. ******************* The Israeli military says Iran has launched a number of drones toward Israel. The army's spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said it would take several hours for the aircraft to arrive. He said Israel was prepared. He spoke Saturday evening. Israel has been on heightened alert since an airstrike last week killed two Iranian generals in Syria. Iran accused Israel of being behind the attack and vowed revenge. Israel has not commented on that attack. https://scrippsnews.com/storie...ed-drones-at-israel/ ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

There are confirmed reports that Iran has launched UAVs towards Israel. Confirmed by Israel and the State Department. On Fox now... ____________________________ "Fear is a Reaction - Courage is a Decision.” - Winston Spencer Churchill NRA Life Member - Adorable Deplorable Garbage | |||
