Must See TV

The interviewer was pretty...but what Kucinish had to say was ugly...so much for supporting the troops and their mission.

Sorry. Tried to listen, but life is short. No sense wasting time on illiterate traitors. I hope he felt a shriver down his spine when the Syrian Air Raid Sirens went off after they finally detected the Israeli incursion into their airspace.

>>>>”The pilots who conducted the attack were briefed only after they were in the air,”

That line does not pass the smell test.

Brief, practice when on ground.

Airborne brief would force info to be transmitted electronically, which is a no-no for most highly classified info.

For example, even with our great encryption technology, all info on “Left Hook” maneuver in Iraq-Kuwait in 1991 were hand carried to fleet and admirals in Gulf, never transmitted electronically, as per Schwartzkopf’s specific orders.

Certain bomber crews must receive their orders while in the air. I don’t know as to why they couldn’t do the same with fighters, if that were good for an odd scenario.

The Washington Post said Saturday, quoting a top US expert who it said had interviewed Israeli participants. "The pilots who conducted the attack were briefed only after they were in the air," the paper quoted him as saying.

Does the Washington Post pull this crap out of their butts? They are trying to say that they would brief the pilot in the air as to his target and what was expected of the air strike? Idiots!

If our own bomber and fighter escort crews were ordered to drop nukes, they would most likely receive the orders whle in-flight.

Chia Head may be tempted on his own or urged by his “Mid-East friends” to create “some situation” in Korean Peninsula. After all, this is a tag team operation.

Nukes yes. Precision guided munitions with a very exact specific target, NO! The precision needed for this would entail a man on the ground or in the air to laser the target. To know what to laser would not come via radio communications even if encrypted. The only exception to this would be a known target with GPS coordinates. Even as such I would not think Israel would just send up pilots and call them on the radio and say, "just hop over to Syria and take this GPS coordinate off the face of the earth." I am not buying it. I still think the Washinton Post pulled this out of their butts.

Do you also believe that the quotes from John Bolton were falsified? ..."neo-con" plot, perhaps?

It doesn't really matter a whole lot to me. Israel built a great anti-ballistic missile defense.

Anti-American western Europeans did not.

War is coming. US & Israel vs. Syria, Iran, North Korea. Helping the enemy from the sidelines (but trying to keep out of harms way) will be Russia, the ChiComms, Venezuela and Al Qaida.

a shipment from North Korea, labeled as cement, but believed by Israel to contain nuclear equipment.

What? Israel doesn't believe it makes good economic sense to ship cement all the way from CommieKorea to Syria (which, apparently, already has plenty of cement)?

LOVE Duncan Hunter - the right man for the job - wish more people knew it.

Duncan Hunter....you might not know who he is...until you want to thank him.

DICK CHENEY ON TERROR...SEE TAGLINE.

And now...for some CHEERFUL news... /sarc

The IAF has some home grown Precision Guided Munitions.

Sounds like Optical scene matching with a GPS back-up. It is conceivable that the bombs were pre-programmed, and the in-flight instructions just guided the IAF jets to the correct drop point.

There's a link on this thread, about post # 10.

Eriely quiet on this. I would like to know the whole story.

Movie stuff.

Orders/targets can be changed while airbrne,
but you want crew briefed as much as possible in secure location BEFORE flight.
