Looks like they are the only ones with guts enough to do it, and more power to them.

I just loved 1967.

Yep.
In 1967, Israel, using American made weapons put an ass whoopin on the damned moosies using russian weapons.
You’d think these dumb ass moosies would learn to purchase American.

Have you read The Jerusalem Post today?

There is an article with the following title:

‘We may have to attack Iran by December’

Should have read we were fools to not have attacked Iran when we had a U.S. president that supported Israel.

I'll have go read it.

Israel in the past has talked to various reporters in house and in the US and esentially told the truth and gave warnings of when they where about to wack someone.

The bad news is $300 to $400 /barrel oil, and our economy going from intense recession to full blown depression.

Time to stock up on stuff....

If done correctly, there will be few delays in the oil market. Trouble is, Israel needs our help to pull this off.

Not holding breath.

actually they used French and British weapons.

only American stuff they had were the M3 halftracks and
the Super Shermans (modded with the French main gun and diesel engine). Almost all planes were French - Mirage,
Mystere, Ouragan, Vautour, Noratlas. Small arms were
from Czech (M98), Belgium (FAL), indigenous (Uzi).

If you watch that video, it’s pretty much a veiled anti-Israeli piece. The “expert” interviewed is Wayne Madsen, is nothing more than a blogger who claimed in 2003 that the Bush administration was involved in the September 11th terrorist attacks. In short, he is a nut with no credentials to speak on the issue.

Also note that the woman doing the interviewing is obviously of Persian ancestry.

Finally, Iran gets most of its weaponry and much of its nuclear technology from Russia, so any program called “Russia Today” should be viewed with a grain of salt.

IIRC, the Israeli Air Force upon the Six Day War was equipped with French-built aircraft, e.g. Mirage IIICJ, Mystere, Super Mystere, Vautour, etc. It wasn’t until the late sixties that the IDF/AF received the A-4 and then the F-4.

The clock is ticking on the Iranian Nutjob, and I sincerely hope that the time will run out long before the end of this year.

There is going to be absolutely NO support in this Administration for Israel, and since they will be going it alone, they might as well do it sooner rather than later.
