Foes keeping Israel and West tied up in Talks
While Circling the Prey Like a Carnivorous Hawk
The time of a false peace has finally come to Roost
And Diplomacy now practiced to give it a great Boost
But when the Hawk comes down to eat the big Chicken
Diplomatic efforts will show to have been wasted Mission
International efforts of U.S. to save Israel will be Omission
At point in time tween 2010 & 2015 two foes have Collision!

More talks and more sanctions are the name of the game Islam is now playing with the United States and the international community, while Iran, Syria, and their terrorist satellites pals prepare to destroy Israel!
How long Iran, Syria, Hizbullah, and Hamas want to keep Israel and the West involved in taks involving uranium enrichment, return of Israeli prisoners, and the return of the Golan Heights, is pretty much in their hands. It is obvious they will continue to keep us talking until they believe they have sufficient strength to drive Israel into the Negev in a conventional war.
I think the “sudden destruction” of I Thessalonians 5 is likely to begin at some time between 2010 and 2015.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Zechariah 13:9 – And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

Talks not derailed by Assad’s Iran trek
August 3, 2008
HERB KEINON and AP , THE JERUSALEM POST
Israel will not reevaluate its indirect talks with Damascus as a result of Syrian President Bashar Assad’s visit to Teheran over the weekend, diplomatic sources said Sunday, even though the trip was widely seen in Jerusalem as a sign Syria has no intention of loosening its ties to Iran.
“There is no reason for any decision yet,” the sources said, adding that a decision on whether to condition talks with Syria on its showing a willingness to break away, at least partly, from Iran would not have to be made at least until the sides were at a point where they could enter direct negotiations.
Assad’s high-profile visit to Teheran, which included a press conference Sunday with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was a routine trip that showed just how close the two countries had become, the sources said.
They dismissed speculation that part of the reason for the visit was to explain Damascus’s indirect contacts with Israel.
Assad, the sources said, explained Syria’s position vis-a-vis the Turkish-mediated talks with Israel to the Iranians weeks ago.
Israel and Syria completed a fourth round of indirect talks in Istanbul last month, with a fifth round expected later this month.
While Assad has said that any agreement with Israel would necessitate a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights, Israel has said Syria would have to break out of Iran’s orbit, and stop supporting Hizbullah and Hamas.
Assad, meanwhile, took pains Sunday to stress that he wasn’t in Teheran trying to get Ahmadinejad to cooperate with Western negotiators and provide proof Iran wasn’t pursuing nuclear weapons.
“Syria’s position is based on international treaties and agreements.
Every country that is a member of the IAEA and that has signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty has the right to nuclear energy and the right to conduct research for peaceful purposes,” Assad said at a press conference with Ahmadinejad.
Assad addressed reports that he was asked by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to press for greater Iranian cooperation with the West, and said that his visit to Teheran was scheduled prior to the recent Mediterranean conference in Paris during which he met the French president. “I did not come on this visit as a mediator nor a messenger and I did not bring with me any messages from Western sources,” Assad said.
Nonetheless, he said the discussions in Teheran addressed Iran’s nuclear program, among other issues.
“When we attended the P
aris conference, we clarified our position to the French in a direct manner. We emphasized that with regards to the Iranian nuclear program, the only solution is through dialogue. I came to Iran to get more details on the matter,” he said.
Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, said diplomacy was the only way out of his country’s standoff with the West, and insisted he was serious about negotiations.
Iran’s leader made the comments a day after asserting that his country would not give up its “nuclear rights,” signaling that it would refuse demands to stop enriching uranium or at least not to expand its enrichment work.
An informal deadline expired this weekend on an offer of economic and other incentives by six world powers if Iran agreed to curb uranium enrichment.
Ahmadinejad said Saturday that his country’s participation in any international talks would “be aimed at reinforcing” Iran’s right under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to enrich uranium for a civilian power program.
On Sunday, the Iranian leader repeated that his country was “serious in nuclear talks” and hoped “the other side” would be as well.
“In case he hasn’t noticed, we are trying to talk with them,” White House press secretary Dana Perino said. “The door is open, they just need to step through it by suspending their enrichment of uranium.”

US: Iran facing new round of sanctions
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON
August 4, 2008
The Bush administration says the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany have agreed to pursue further sanctions against Iran over its suspect nuclear program after it failed to meet a weekend deadline to respond to an incentives package designed to defuse the dispute.
The State Department said the group decided in a high-level phone call on Monday that it had no choice but to seek additional punitive measures on Iran.
Iran has told the lead European negotiator that it will provide a written response to the offer on Tuesday but a State Department spokesman said sanctions would come in the absence of a proper reply.
The six countries gave Iran an informal two-week deadline last month to accept or reject a package of economic incentives in return for curbing its uranium enrichment, which many believe is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
Iran denies the charge but allowed the deadline to pass without any definitive response.
