New World Order — Major Terror Attacks — Is Something Coming? 9-11-1990 plus 11 years = 9-11-2001 plus 11 years = 9-11-2012

Chronology of week to be remembered http://www.watch.org/showart.php3?idx=155438&rtn=&showsubj=1&mcat=24 Sunday, Sept. 9: Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday the sanctions aren't slowing Iran's nuclear advances "because it doesn't see a clear red line from the international community." Netanyahu said that "the sooner we establish [red lines], the greater the chances that there won't be a need for other types of action," i.e., military action.  Sunday, Sept. 9: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Bloomberg: The U.S. is "not setting deadlines" for Iran and still considers negotiations as "by far the best approach" to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday. Asked if the Obama administration will lay out sharper "red lines" for Iran or explicitly state the consequences of failing to negotiate a deal with world powers by a certain date, Clinton said, "We're not setting deadlines." "We're watching very carefully about what they do, because it's always been more about their actions than their words," Clinton said in the interview with Bloomberg Radio after meetings at an Asia-Pacific forum in Vladivostok, Russia. ------  Monday, Sept. 10: White House spokesman Jay Carney White House spokesman Jay Carney said in his daily news briefing, when questioned about Israel's desire for deadlines: "It is not fruitful as part of this process to engage in that kind of specificity." -----  Tuesday, Sept. 11: US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta CBS: In an interview with Norah O'Donnell on "CBS This Morning," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta insisted the U.S. has a very clear red line. "When they make the decision to go ahead and build a nuclear weapon, that, for us, is a red light," Panetta said. Panetta also said U.S. intelligence would likely know when that decision was made. After that, the U.S. military would have about a year in which to mount a strike that could stop Iran from actually building a weapon. ----  Tuesday, Sept. 11: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu On Tuesday, Sept. 11, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "The world tells Israel: 'Wait. There's still time.' And I say: 'Wait for what? Wait until when?' Those in the international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don't have a moral right to place a red light before Israel." On Tuesday afternoon, Netanyahu told his cabinet that Obama doesn't have time to meet with him during his late September trip to the United States. Shortly thereafter, a tragic terror event happened at the U.S. embassy in Libya, and the U.S. embassy in Cairo was broken into. Al Qaeda is reported to be connected to both events. U.S. embassies worldwide were put under 24-hour watch, and two warships were sent to the Libyan Coast, with no apologies from the Egyptian President Morsi.  Tuesday evening, Sept. 11: Obama's late-night phone call with Netanyahu for damage control
Fox News: The White House said that Obama had just gotten off an hour-long phone call with the prime minister "as a part of their ongoing consultations," and that the two discussed the Iranian nuclear threat. The unusual statement from the White House signaled that the President's team was acting quickly to contain the controversy. The seemingly chilly response to Netanyahu was already being interpreted as a snub among Israel's biggest defenders -- and it comes amidst a state of heightened alert over Iran's nuclear program and the possibility of Israeli action. Side note: Obama's treatment of Netanyahu could cost him many Jewish votes in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election. (Obama received 78 percent of the Jewish vote in the 2008 Presidential election.) The Jewish vote could very likely be the key to winning key states such as Florida and Ohio for Electoral College wins in the 2012 U.S. Presidential election.  Tuesday, Sept. 11: The 2011 Libyan war – Obama and Clinton's doing US ambassador killed at US embassy/Libya; US embassy attacked in Cairo, brother of No. 2 at Al Qaeda involved; looking into 9-11 connection Fox News: U.S. officials are investigating whether the murder Tuesday of the U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other American officials was a "coordinated" strike timed for the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks -- and not the result of a protest against an anti-Islam film. Current and former U.S. lawmakers, and others, claimed Wednesday that the attack looked like a coordinated strike. Hoekstra noted that Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri had recently released a video calling on militants to attack Americans in revenge for the killing of an operative in Pakistan. The message said his "blood is calling on you, inciting you to fight and kill the crusaders." Hoekstra said the film may have been just a cover to carry out such an attack. London-based think tank Quilliam reached the same conclusion, saying the Benghazi strike appeared to be a "well-planned terrorist attack that would have occurred regardless of the demonstration (over the film)." Also, the brother of Zawahri was nearby during the separate protest at the American Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday. ------  Wednesday, Sept. 12: Jerusalem official accuses White House of lying about requested Netanyahu-Obama meeting The Israeli government on Wednesday accused the White House of lying by denying that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had requested to meet U.S. President Barack Obama later this month in the U.S. "We requested a meeting on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York and also suggested that the prime minister could come to Washington" for a meeting, a senior government official in Jerusalem told the German DPA news agency on Wednesday.  Wednesday, Sept. 12: Two U.S. warships headed to Libya after deadly consulate attack U.S. officials say the Pentagon is moving two warships to the Libyan coast in the aftermath of the attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three others. Officials say one destroyer, the USS Laboon, moved to a position off the coast Wednesday, and the USS McFaul is en route and should be stationed off the coast within days. The officials say the ships, which carry Tomahawk missiles, do not have a specific mission. But they give commanders flexibility to respond to any mission ordered by the President.  Wednesday, Sept. 12: Israel Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon Israel Hayom: The telephone conversation between Obama and Netanyahu after midnight on Tuesday was, according to an Israeli source, "long [and] frank, and dealt with all of the essential issues." Vice Premier Moshe Ya'alon also touched on the matter of issuing clear red lines to Iran, saying Wednesday: "The United States has outlined a red line that the Iranians are happy with. There have been arguments with the Americans in the past as well, as was the case during Operation Defensive Shield [Israel's large-scale military operation in 2002 during the course of the Second Intifada] when they asked [former Prime Minister] Ariel Sharon to halt the operation and only later understood it was the right thing to do." -----  Thursday, Sept. 13: Former CIA Director Hayden Newsmax: Former CIA Director Hayden: Obama 'broke it, owns it' on Libya Violent protests in Libya that claimed the life of the U.S. ambassador were the result of President Obama's decision to intervene in the Libyan revolt without a "deep appreciation" for what would follow, former CIA Director Michael Hayden tells Newsmax. Hayden, a former four-star Air Force general, was appointed CIA director by President George W. Bush in 2006 and served until 2009. "Here's a case where we went into Libya for reasons that seemed very powerful for some people at the time, almost all of them in Tehran, perhaps without a true or deep appreciation for what the secondary and tertiary effects of overthrowing [Libyan ruler Moammar] Gadhafi would be.  Thursday, Sept. 13: President Barack Obama Fox News: President Barack Obama didn't intend to signal any change in the U.S.-Egypt relationship last night when he said Egypt is not an "ally," the White House told The Cable today. In an interview with Telemundo Wednesday night, Obama said that the U.S. relationship with the new Egyptian government was a "work in progress," and emphasized that the United States is counting on the government of Egypt to better protect the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which was attacked by protesters on Sept. 11. "I don't think that we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an enemy," Obama said. "They're a new government that is trying to find its way. They were democratically elected. I think that we are going to have to see how they respond to this incident."  Thursday, Sept. 13: Muslim Brotherhood Muslim Brotherhood website demands that West criminalize 'assaults' on Islam Times of Israel: Statement condemns violence against U.S. interests, says free speech should not extend to acts of 'barbaric aggression' that humiliate all Muslims. Without the "criminalization of assaults on the sanctities of all heavenly religions," the Muslim Brotherhood warned on Thursday, insults to Islam "will continue to cause devout Muslims across the world to suspect and even loathe the West, especially the USA." The remarks were part of a statement posted on the English-language web-site of the Brotherhood in response to a trailer for a new film, which the Egyptian ruling party says is insulting to Islam. According to the statement, "one and a half billion Muslims [were] subjected to humiliation and abuse in the person of their leader, Mohammed, the Messenger of God, the Prophet of Islam," due to the film. ---  Friday, September 14: New Middle East crisis enters fourth day; Expert: ‘Obama is hostage to [Egyptian President] Morsi’ Daily Caller: Experts say that Egypt’s new Islamist president, Mohamed Morsi, has the ability and incentive to raise or lower the Arab street’s pressure against President Barack Obama. “Obama is hostage to Morsi,” said Michael Rubin, an Arab-region expert at the American Enterprise Institute. “But part of the reason is that Obama refuses to make Morsi hostage to him,” Rubin added. This puts Obama in a politically dangerous position as he attempts to bring the spreading embassy crisis under control before November’s election.
