As long as Olmert is in power, I'm not sure it makes much difference WHAT weapons Israel has.

Yeah, but I like the redundancy.

I know some, but not much about this Iranian Aug. 22.
Maybe Jeff can be of some help ?

We (and the rest of the West) should be arming Israel to the teeth over the next six months. The storm cometh...
To: Roy Tucker
Redundancy is very nice.
Especially after the Israeli Navy got the " surprise " missile from Iran recently.

Israel needs to get rid of Olmert.
Maybe he was a good lawyer; he should go back to whatever he was good at.
An army chief needs to be in command.
IMO.

"a third of which will be financed by the German government."
I'd ask why, but it'd be pointless. If the Germans want to feel perpetually guilty, that's their problem (unless I'm assuming too much and the Germans are paying because of outstanding debts to Israel or something).

In the face of Iran's race to obtain nuclear power, Israel signed a contract with Germany last month to buy two Dolphin-class submarines that will, according to foreign reports, provide superior second-strike nuclear capabilities. This is in keeping with their "Samson" strategy. Even if Israel suffered a first strike that took out all their nuclear missiles and nuclear armed aircraft,they will retain the power to devastate the enemy with sea launched nuclear missiles.

There was an earlier thread about the possibility of Germany sending some naval security personnel to Lebanon as part of a peace-keeping force. I joked that unless I wanted a fleet of U-Boats, I wouldn't ask the German navy for help.
Well, it looks like they really did want U-Boats...

As long as Olmert is in power, I'm not sure it makes much difference WHAT weapons Israel has. By the time they take delivery; he won't be. And judging from the general populations response to his piss poor handling of the Hezzie/Lebanon war; no one like him will be in office for quite some time.
Olmert screwed the pooch, not just for himslef, but for his party.
Perhaps he was a blessing for Israel in disguise.

It is not just Hitler, but also Saddam using WWII German type missles against Israel in the first Gulf War . So there is that quilt thing.
Germany may also want to support this democracy.
We also give lots of money and free stuff to Israel, too.

Germany has been Israel's 2nd largest arms supplier for a long time.
Money heals all wounds.

Hitler is steamed in hell screaming "A Jew boat? From Deutscheland?!?!?!?"
Is that before or after the daily pineapple shoved up his a$$?

Wish they had nukes on board that ship.

How do you read Aug. 22 being a fizzle? I am thinking that Iran hoped to have a nuclear device ready, perhaps for use on Israel, by today... Amazing how reality gets in the way of doomsday conspiracy theories.

Who says they don't?
Israel has never...hehehehe....acknowledged or denied having nukes. *wink wink, nudge nudge*
And Clinton never had sex with that woman in his life.
