Israel shouldn’t seize it, they should sink it.

Does Tom Clancy write the fiction for DEBKA?

Once you suspend adequate disbelief, it’s really quite exciting.

Caught by President Bush, and let go by President 9/10.

Dear Israel,

It’s called a “limpet mine”.

FWIW.

..................

After Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen said on Jan. 28 that the US Navy had no authority to seize the weapons aboard the Iranian vessel –"The US did as much as we could" -

Unmentioned, the US did determine the arms violate the UN embargo, but the embargo doesn't authorize confiscation or detention. So once determining the ship is in violation, it's to be let go.

Absolutely true. I have no worries about Israel’s intel.

It’s Debka’s “intel” that I have no confidence in.

What’s the problem? These arms were destined for Israel anyway. Israel would simply be cutting out the middle-man and the part where the arms go boom and kill people. No problem.

Surface missles. As opposed to air missles for the Ham Ass air force.

Deep six, but use a large enough bomb that it just disappears, with no survivors and no word of its fate.

And if the world protests, just deliver them to their original destination - one at a time, but at very high velocity.
