Here's a good video at PJM as Bill Whittle interviews retired General Paul Vallely: Video: Former US General Warns of Chemical Attacks Against Israel
He paints a pretty grim picture of the strategic situation, as Tehran has maneuvered its pieces in such a way as to threaten Israel in the case of a strike by any party against its nuclear program. I like how toward the end Vallely says "We cannot allow Israel to stand alone in this..." and looks to Whittle for confirmation. You get the feeling that the idea of not leaving Israel hanging against an enemy that also chants "Death to America" is very much a matter of honor to this guy.

There was some skepticism about the claims by Gen. Paul Vallely in the video I linked to back in this post, Video: Former US General Paul Vallely Warns of Chemical Attacks Against Israel, concerning his claim that Hizballah was said... Read More
Some of this does not ring true.
Tunnels were easy to dig in Gaza - there's a kilometer of sand and loose sandstone until you hit bedrock.
This is not true in the Golan Heights - its all rock. So the notion of the Lebanese digging tunnels... to get a relatively tiny advantage.... nope.
But a lot of the other stuff has been corroborated, and the program to exchange old gas masks has been ramped up here.
Follow the money...follow the money. It looks like AIPAC has yet one more person under their control. The fear mongers are out again, and the loser will be the US taxpayer who will have to pay for yet another scheme divised by Israel to pay for masks, the Iron Dome, or anything else that Israel may want. The 3+ billion a year that Israel steals from the US is not enough, and the thought of possibly having the US fight another battle is just too delicious for Israel. Follow the money...follow the money
"Sam", in case you forgot, just two days ago was the 65th anniversary of your heroes UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER to the US, UK and SU.

I expect your new heroes, your fellow islamofascist swine to surrender unconditionally too.
P.S. Sadly for nazi filth such as yourself, the Israelis are not the unarmed Jews of WW2 nazi vermin infested Europe.
Yes, the idea of tunnels in the North, along the border with Lebanon, does sound a little fishy. (The Golan Heights, on the other side of the rift valley, are under Israeli control. I don't think there's any claim of tunnels under the border with Syria into the sparsely populated Golan Heights.)
But thanks to yet another useless "peacekeeping" operation by the UN, the Party of God (Hizb'Allah) has accumulated quite an arsenal of rockets, right under the watchful eyes of the feckless Blue Helmets.
Eddie,
Sam is totally ignorant of the fact that those 3 billion are spent keeping Americans in jobs producing arms that Israel needs.
He also doesn't know of the many more billions the US has spent providing for the defense of Europe while they splurged on socialist handouts.
Maybe someone should do an accounting of what Europe has actually cost the US taxpayer over the years and see where their taxes went.
By the way does nobody remember when Rummy wanted to pull US forces out of Germany, how the Germans screamed at how their merchants would suffer through the drop in commerce?
But then again Sam doesn't need facts to get hysterical. If he is an American he is blind to how he has been ripped off by the Europeans.
Sam, here's a little reality check for you. The US does not fight battles for Israel. Israel is a true, staunch ally of the US—for one, Israel votes with the US in the UN more often than any other country. And unlike some other (e.g., Britain, and Kuwait), Israel has never asked the US to fight on her behalf.
Israel stealing from the US? Nonsense. A lot of the aid comes in the form of loans to buy stuff from the US, and the loans are repaid. Also, the US gains a lot from the technology and intel Israel shares with the US. (Guess who pioneered the UAV technology that is now so beloved by the Pentagon and the Obama administration?) As for stealing, unlike the aid that goes to the PA kleoptocrats, the money goes go to Israel doesn't wind up in personal bank accounts or fancy cars and houses.
But if you want to talk about "stolen" foreign aid, which, since no actual theft is involved in its giving, we'll take it to mean money down the drain. (Of course, if you consider corruption once the money is transferred, lots of US aid is stolen by dictator and tyrants throughout the world.)
The US-brokered Camp David Accords oblige the US to give aid to both Egypt and Israel. So, what about the billions Egypt, for example, takes each year from the US? The alliance between Israel and the American people, if not the US's present hostile administration, is based on shared values. What the US does for Israel is handsomely repaid in many ways, and not just financial, as noted previously.
So please tell us. Just what does the US get out of the tons of aid wasted on Egypt—cooperation at the UN? Technology transfer? Intelligence sharing? Cooperation or assistance in dealing with the
threat from radical Islam and global jihadHuman-Caused Disasters and Overseas Contingency Operations? (The Obama administration's cranio-rectal insertion is so severe, they can't even talk honestly about the problem.)I believe we send aid to several Arab League states. We're fighting a hugely expensive war in Iraq, trying to liberate the people from a brutal dictator and build a democracy.
We fought a war to defend Kuwait, did we not? How was that "following the money" vis a vis AIPAC?
I also think we're the single largest patron of the Palestinians (along with the EU) and also, we have in the past sent foreign aid to - Saudi Arabia. We are actually arming and training a Palestinian "security force," with no real guarantees that it won't turn on the leaders we support and/or Israel.
It's easy to follow the money actually, you can find all the US donations to Arab League states online. Of course this isn't counting wars and petrodollars on their behalf. If you want to extend this (aid and direct military support) to Muslim states in general the list gets way longer.
PS: I was agin' the Iraq war because I feared the chaos and destruction that in fact ensued - but I can't argue with the idealism involved in trying to free the people of Iraq from Saddam and create a democracy there.
Arogant US gives $3B and give IL hard time.
It is not the US, it is the Muslim Obama.
Israel budjet is $70B, $3B are a loan from the arrogant muslim Obama, We can manage without it and gain our independence.
Lets see what do we got from the Us arrogance:
Embasador to Syria, and a spit back to the Us face by Syria.
Ass licking to Saudi Arabia, while any related human right activists are thrown from that country, and the sword still cut heads.
flatering Egypt, while Mubarak build a nuclear infrastructure under US nose, without give a damn to the muslim US president.
ingratiating Turkey, while it turn its back to US and the west and conduct a military manouvers with Syria and tighten the relations with Iran, You moron muslim Obama, don't you see?
"Scary" announcment to north Korea, and we get nuclear knowledge goes freely from that country to every place in the world.
Bla Bla Bla talk with the russians, while Putin and Medvedev piss their urine on muslim Obama forehead.
The US president, muslim puppet, gives hard time to Israel, while licking asses to the most extrimists countries, we say to you, you muslim hijacker of US, we don't want your filthy $3B, we'll get managed, just don't forget to say sorry for these days the minute you will find IL nuking Iran and syria as it been pushed to the corner with your great assistance.
