The Republican Race - Gallup

Gallup: Has its latest poll on the Republican Race, today Senator Rick Santorum leads Governor Romney by 35% to 29%, a 6% lead. If your in the Romney Camp you have to worry, what if you lose Romney’s home State to Santorum, and then on Super Tuesday you see both Santorum and Gingrich in the South taking States. The idea that the Republican Convention might meet with no Candidates having a majority NOW looks more likely. If this happens, what about nomination Governor Jeb Bush with Rick Santorum as VP. Just an idea folks.

UK vs. Israel

Telegraph: Reports that the UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has warned Israel that a strike on Iran would not be wise, and sanctions should be given time to work. This is typical pro Arab/Persian argument you get from the UK Foreign Office, they always take the anti Israel view, the Foreign Secretary it seems has gone native, or as they Civil Service say he has been house trained to give their line, that’s why UK PM’s don’t trust the FCO, they are pro Europe, anti Israel, appeasers given half the chance, lets hope Israel does not take a blind bit of notice of the UK Foreign Office.

Iran vs. UK and France

BBC News: Reports that Iran has announced that it will stop selling oil to UK and French companies. As the EU had already agreed to stop buying oil from Iran from 1July this move by Tehran is symbolic, they are looking to create good PR for the Regime back in Iran. The Oil and bank sanctions on Iran are having an effect, the question is will Israel wait, or are they worried that while the West is looking at sanctions the Tehran Regime will give the green light for Iran to go nuclear within a few months. Iran is a developing crisis folks, its going to get hotter folk, and the crunch point might come before the November election in the US. Its high stakes poker folks, and Israel is not bluffing.

US and Israel Talks

The White House: Has announced that National Security Advisor Tom Donilon will be in Israel this weekend, the Statement states the following on the trip, “ National Security Advisor Tom Donilon will travel to Israel from February 18-20 for consultations with senior Israeli officials about a range of issues, including Iran, Syria, and other regional security issues. National Security Advisor Donilon’s travel is the latest in a series of regular, high-level consultations between the United States and Israel, consistent with our strong bilateral partnership, and part of our unshakeable commitment to Israel’s security. ”. In other words folks the Oval wants to know when Israel will hit Iran, its not a matter of IF but WHEN folks. The US will have to places it forces on high alert when the attack happens, as Iran will strike back at the allies of Israel, thus the Persian Gulf could be closed, the Tehran Regime could strike Israel and the Gulf States. Lets see if Israel trusts the Oval enough to share the strike date.
