Israel begins its biggest civil defense drill to prepare for possibility of war

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel began the biggest civil defense drill in its history on Sunday, training soldiers, emergency crews and civilians for the possibility of war at a time of rising tensions with Iran.

The five-day drill, code-named Turning Point III, will include simulated rocket attacks on Israeli cities. Air-raid sirens are to sound across the country on Tuesday and for the first time all Israeli civilians will simultaneously be required to practice taking cover when the sirens go off.

Israel believes Iran is developing nuclear weapons and has not ruled out a military strike. Iran says its nuclear program is only for energy production.

Israeli leaders have played down any connection between those tensions and this week's exercise, and officials have been at pains to allay fears among Arab neighbors, such as Lebanon and Syria, that the exercise could be a cover for a military strike.

the government is trying to consolidate power using the fear factor like the * administration or both.

I hope Obama administration have the competent and resolute individuals in the State Department who can see through the smoke in the mirror.
Mr. NuttyYahoo came to Washington last week with one agenda in mind; Iran. But he didn't get the reception he was hoping for...indeed, he was told that Palestine is the real issue, and not war with Iran.

WWIII. Just saying.

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
