I see no need to give Israel a stealth fighter. I have read nothing about planes being downed by Hezballah, there is no need for stealth, unless Israel is planning to go to Iran. Which by the way has to be viewed a a major escalation of the war. Iran certainly needs to be visited and visited hard, but it needs to be done by a coalition of many countries. Unfortunately If Israel tries to go it alone it will be condemned by the very countries that should be in that coalition.

At some point people will have to accept that Israel has a right to defend herself and that those who try to dissuade her from that are not much better than those who attack her.

Iran did say they were going to send some anti-aircraft missiles to the Hez-Ebola, probably why France thinks Iran is a stabalizing force.

A true stealth nuke strike on Iran after supplying the F-22 to Israel would just leave some surviving, partially incinerated mullahs pointing fingers and accusing everybody of dropping the big one on 'em.

As for Israel being condemned for it, they don't give a flying flip about world opinion, and the U.S. would do well to emulate that.

And when "somebody" does step up to the plate, they should be sure to drop some high yield munitions down that freakin well that Ahmadjihad likes to poke his head in and talk to the 12th I-Mammy down there. If we catch the little runt during one of his sessions, that's what you call a "twofer".

Have a good day Sarge! ;)

hopefully people more in the know will be deciding this issue

Not for fighing the Hezbo's, but for striking Iran, yes. The Iran thing is going to happen sooner or later, hopefully sooner. Israel could probably use a wing or two of A-10 Warthogs, too. Hell hath no fury like an A-10 Warthog.....
