The Jewish Press ^ | July 17, 2015 | By: Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu

Israel needs U.S. B-52 bombers that can carry "bunker buster" bombs in order to attack Iran if is about to developed a nuclear weapon under the camouflage of the ObamaDeal, according to an Israeli strategic expert now living in the United States.

Dr. Ehud Eilam, a former private contractor for the Defense Ministry and who has written a book on the "next war: between Israel and Egypt, wrote in Israel Defense that the United States should either attack Iran or give the green light to Israel to do so if Iran cheats on the agreement.

He maintains that Israel's F-16 warplanes cannot do the job because they cannot carry 30,000-pound buster bombs being developed by the United States.

The other option would be a low-explosive yield nuclear device that would make those facilities uninhabitable (accessible). I’d call it a Chernobyl Bomb.

Wrong analysis. It is far simpler to stop it from breathing than it is to obliterate it.

or, continue successful low cost covert ops to destroy the capability to complete the necessary construction.

Bombers are not the way forward

If Israel tries to take action, Obama will order their planes shot down.

"If Israel tries to take action, Obama will order their planes shot down."

Not if they're overflying Saudi airspace, he won't.

If Israel decides to strike Iran, don’t be surprised if the Imposter in Chief orders the USAF to shoot down Israeli planes.

“If Israel tries to take action, Obama will order their planes shot down.”

And there is an increasing chance that our military members would stand down and refuse that order. Our military forces have just about had all of Obama they can stand.

It might not be as blatant as that, but they might do something like say they could not aquire the targets or they would all suddenly suffer from mechanical or technical problems that prevented them from shooting down the Israelis.

If Israel has a submarine launched nuclear missile capability, it would be a good time to use it.

Low yield, low smeelled - all our nukes are low yield now compared to what they once were. Call them the Last Crusade Bombs, rendering Mecca & Median uninhabitable and parts of Iran on the side.

It is time to sell/give/loan our B-2 Stealth bomber to Israel along with several hundred MOP’s.

This antisemitic President will never allow it.

I believe the author is overlooking two things: Israel doesn’t have a B-52 and Obama’s not about to give them one.

I think that's been pretty much an open secret for decades.
