Ehud Barak says he’s ready to hand in his gas mask Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he is confident that Israel will not be attacked with non-conventional weapons because of the expected consequences to the aggressor. “There is no entity in the world that will dare attack Israel with chemical weapons,” Barak said in an interview with Israel Radio on Monday, noting that he was prepared to give up his own state-issued gas mask to prove his point. White House: US and Turkey to 'accelerate' Syria transition President Barack Obama and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke by telephone Monday "to coordinate efforts to accelerate a political transition in Syria," the White House said. This "would include the departure of (Syrian leader) Bashar Assad and be responsive to the legitimate demands of the Syrian people," the statement said. Panetta Heads To Middle East As Iran Dominates Israel Talks Defense Secretary Leon Panetta heads today to the Middle East where tensions are rising over the democratic transition in Egypt, turmoil in Syria and Iran’s suspected advances toward nuclear weapons. His trip to Tunisia, Egypt, Israel and Jordan has a security agenda, including new concerns about Syrian chemical weapons, along with election-season political stakes. Panetta is scheduled to arrive in Israel on the heels of a visit by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has appealed to Jewish voters by attacking President Barack Obama as lacking sufficient commitment to Israel’s security. With a lack of progress in the negotiations, “the clocks in Washington and Tel Aviv are out of sync” on the timing for military action, said David Makovsky, a Middle East specialist at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. The Obama administration’s strategy is to see if Iran backs down as international sanctions increasingly hurt its economy, saying there is time for military action as a last alternative.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." - E. M. Bounds
