25 F-15's? I thought it was more than that.
And yes, there is nothing for you to worry about Iran, go about your business.
To: West Coast Conservative
So WHY don't OUR Armed Forces help out?
I mean, we've got F18s, F16s and even some F15s stationed in Iraq.
Can't we at least help our Israeli friends?

I'm not sure sure that this is BS... to get to Iran, they have no safe route. Every country in their way is hostile to them.

I don't agree that this is BS.
I believe it is an attempt to warm up to the idea of the U.S. bombing Iran.

Watch the Israelis make muttonheads out of the eggheads at the Army War College.

Sounds right on the money to me.
The Israeli raid on Entebbe faced the same problems. Kenya stepped up and allowed refueling.
The only Kenya is Iraq via Jordan.

The report asserts Israel lacks the military capability to locate and destroy Iranian nuclear assets. The report said the Israel Air Force cannot operate at such long distances from its bases Yea wanna bet?
My bet is on Israel

They didn't; you're thinking of the Iraqi light water reactor in Osiraq, which was bombed by Israel on June 7, 1981, after a previous attack by Iran on the reactor site failed.

Where's the BS? Iran's program can't be conventionally destroyed. It's too spread out, too far underground. The only solution is a quick decapitation of the entire Iranian government, and not conventionally, either.
I think we have to read a bit between the lines re: Israel and Palestine. Israel obviously knew this was coming. I'm beginning to think Israel realizes it's going to need to score some points with their neighbors in Jordan and Egypt before they turn Tehran radioactive.
This is very very serious.
To: West Coast Conservative
I would think that Mossad would smuggle in some Russian
suitcase nukes and make it look like an Iranian accident.
Damn those nukes are tricky to get right
or
Do the Gerald Bull/supergun on their scientists which proved that a well aimed 22 beats anything else - because it follows the laws of physics and it's available now.
Why do an airstrike, when you can get creative.
To: Mo1
Nuclear submarines are a beautiful thing when you lack air space permissions...

This, I think, is the crux of the problem. If Iran were on Israel's border, this would have been done a long time ago. As it stands now, the US would have to provide some sort of support, and I don't know how deep this nation is willing to wade into those waters...
