Jim Kirwan: The Countdown Begins!

Because Purim is honored, based on the Hebrew calendar, the days when it is celebrated are different each year, so when you try to check and verify the statements in the paragraph below, using our calendar, the results could be confusing. What is not at issue is that today Purim begins for 2012. "This year this wicked occult ritual of Purim falls on March the seventh and eighth. Consider this: The Iraq war of 1991 ended prematurely exactly on Purim Day: Immediately following the savage slaughtering of 150,000 surrendering Iraqi troops, during the Purim dates, which was decidedly monstrous in any estimation. The next Iraq War began on Purim, 2003, and the Libyan Invasion began on Purim, 2011. There have been several other developments that are not heart-warming, but which do throw more light on what is continuing to develop between Zionist-Israel and the rest of the world. On 6 March 2012, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the United States approve the sale of advanced refueling aircraft as well as GBU-28 bunker-piercing bombs to Israel during a recent meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, a top US official said on Tuesday. The American official said that the US, President Barack Obama instructed Panetta to work directly with Defense Minister Ehud Barak on the matter, indicating that the US administration was inclined to look "favorably"upon the request as soon as possible. During the administration of former US President George Bush, the US refused to sell bunker-penetrating bombs and refueling aircraft to Israel, as a result of American estimates that Israel would then use them to strike Iran's nuclear facilities. Following Obama's entrance into the White House, however, the United States approved a string of Israeli requests to purchase advanced armament.
