An Iranian vessel en route to Sudan in order to deliver weapons to Hamas in the Gaza Strip was attacked by an Israeli or American ship and destroyed, according to a report Sunday in the Egyptian weekly Al-Usbua.

Had to be Israeli.
Obambi would never allow a US strike.

Had to be an Israeli ship. Ain’t no way the Dear Leader would give an American ship orders to fire on an Iranian ship.

If this is true, it seems reasonable.

Yeah, but then again even the Israelis can be cowards at times.

Bibi “sent a message” to Mr. Dinner Jacket.

This follows the very heavy Israeli drone attack (which almost went without ANY report at all) about a month back. Bunch of trucks loaded down with Iranian gear, going from Sudan to Egypt, due to be smuggled into Gaza. I heard it was a huge shipment of great rockets/missiles —not the crap they usually cook up in Gaza.

The force was MOSTLY UAV’s, and this strike was a very long-range one.

There were like 15-20 heavy trucks destroyed, and about 50-70 bad people killed.

The bad stuff all got zapped. I do not know the exact composition of the force, but I heard it was not all UAV’s, no.

I forgot to add; the Tel Aviv/Khartoum distance is the same as the Tel Aviv/Tehran distance, so the question of strike distance has already more or less been answered.

No, no just those pesky Somali pirates. Funny how they dress, white guys with yamulkes on their heads and carrying Uzis.

If this involved commandos, I can imagine Israel using Ethiopian Falasha Jews, not your typical Ashkenazi.
