There is speculation that maybe we helped paint (laser) the targets, and provided general cover.

Go, Israel.

Still doesn’t make sense.

A ground targeting situation makes sense.

Otherwise a LANTIRN pod is more than able to provide the needed spot. Even a JDAM or WCMD would do the trick.

Most F15s work as a hunter-killer teams with one A/C illuminating the target with the other delivering ordinance.

I have seen the IAF in action (Red/Green Flag)- they really don’t need ‘help’.

Chris "Kim Jong" Hill has his ambition ahead of national security. He and possibly Condi Rice should be sacked.

So much for the peace treaty fantasy. You can achieve virtually nothing when all U.S. can do is to offer lots of carrots but no prospect of using sticks.

Imbeciles.

I wonder if this was planned before Barak took over as Israel’s Defense Minister. If not, I’ll bet he was involved in the planning, it he didn’t think it up himself. He was a disaster as a Prime Minister, but he’s a good solider. Let him do military stuff and keep him out of politics. Bravo to the IDF for this operation!

You have to admit, even though we DO know about it, the news has been... at best, sketchy and few details. Then there are those who simply aren’t talking about it.

So if Bush is “evil”, what does this make the Syrians, Iranians and North Koreans? P!ss on the left.

The key factor promoting "sketchiness" for sure.
