Hello John and Doves,The 'shorting' of Israel of much needed military munitions and equipment is continuing...and the Navy is reporting their only oiler that can supply the USS Abraham Lincoln strike group is 'incapacitated' now. Also, the Biden U.S. military announced it is not "supporting Israel's operations in Lebanon and it not giving any more intelligence to Israel.This is from Senator Tom Cotton: "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris continue to delay critical military equipment to our allies in Israel. Further delays will endanger Israeli lives, increase the likelihood that the conflict will escalate further, and harm American national security interest."The letter, dated September 25, 2024, at the link is to Biden - signed by Sen Cotton and Sen McConnell

And to add insult to injury, The navytimes.com on Tuesday, September 24, 2024 announced that their only Navy oiler, the USNS Big Horn, operating in the Middle East was damaged in an 'incident'. This leaves the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group with no oiler for resupplying fuel to its fighter jets. The carrier is nuclear powered, so it doesn't need 'fuel' - but the fighter jets and vehicles and equipment on this carrier and other ships in the strike group need fossil fuels. There is now no way to refuel the ships.Looks like tugboats have towed the Big Horn and its now anchored off the coast of Oman. News sources are reporting that it ran aground and partially flooded. I read that the Navy was 'scrambling to find' a commercial oil tanker to replace the Big Horn for now as there are no more oilers in the region - but it would take months to prepare, refit another vessel for use.Our military is in a mess - it's not just the Navy. "The Navy had reportedly sidelined two replenishment ships and one fleet oiler, along with 14 other ships, last month because of a manpower shortage...The USS Abraham Lincoln is currently patrolling the nearby Arabian Sea, just east of the Gulf of Aden."The Biden administration has put out a statement "calling for a 21-day ceasefire along the Israeli-Lebanese border. We have been able to generate significant support from Europe, as well as from the Arab nations."

Once all the jet fuel that the Big Horn supplied to the strike group is deplenished...no jets will be flying to protect the strike group and its carrier, nor will they be carrying out any strikes on any enemy in the area. The other ships in the group will be solely responsible for providing protection and doing strikes - 'til they run out of needed fuel.Will Israel end up using their last bomb, their last bullet during the Gog and Magog War? Then God, Himself, steps in and takes over. Showing the world that He is the One True God.
THEY are always saying Israel needs to do this and that...but the ceasefires are either never accepted or they are broken by Hamas and Hezbollah. But nothing is ever done to them - it's always leverage on Israel. "Make Israel tow the line."Hamas and Hezbollah need to be held up for condemnation by the world. Hamas is the one holding the hostages. Maybe the 'free the hostages' protesters in Israel and NYC, etc. should go to Gaza and protest. Make Hamas accountable for what they did. But that won't happen....

A Bahrain based journalist and the Director of the British Middle East Center for Studies and Research and author of "The Deception of the Arab Spring" - Amjad Taha - wrote an amazing X post - I've copy and pasted it below.

Things are very fluid over there. And the U.S. under the Biden administration and other 'allies' have been recently pulling their support from Israel. Fulfilling Bible prophecy.Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!Maranatha!ChanceAmjad Taha:“You dared to strike at a wise and courageous people on October 7th—committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they would fall, but they rose again. After 11 months, they returned to correct what briefly slipped—their intelligence. Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to an era without technology, where a ringing phone feels like a death sentence and a beep is a nightmare. You will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world.
They will defeat you—not with bullets or tanks, but with the unbreakable will of brave and intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with a decisive click, they will seal your fate and that of anyone who dares to harm their children. This is a nation the world respects.
Lebanon—Hezbollah’s beeper attacks and today’s V82 strike aren’t just military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not just for Israel, but for all who stand against terror.”
