"What neighbor of theirs would be dumb enough to do that."

Syria has proven to be remarkably stupid over the years. My money is on them.

[Rational Thought]

Iranian?

So far, no reaction from stocks on Wall St.

[Credo]

Syrian AF pilots are experts at testing their ejection systems.

God I pray and ask you to protect Israel. I agree with you in that prayer.

[jimbo123]

Russian?

[yield 2 the right]

Count me as well.

Going up against the Israeli’s on Passover? The Hebrews aren’t going to do a flyby or passover.

They are going to wreck their adversaries day.

[bergmeid]

I’m not seeing it yet on other news outlets.....

Rivaled only by the French in dropping their guns.

“If he had ordered an attack on Israel, any General worth his salt would have resigned instead of follow that order, and gone public.”

I know you’re right. I wasn’t being totally serious, but I wasn’t being totally not serious either. If you know what I mean.

Funny; but that’s what I said about Yugoslavia.

[historyrepeatz]

Could be Israel testing it’s own readiness. The good guys pretending to be bad guys to see how the good guys react.

[Hoodat]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

[444Flyer]

lol. I guess with O in the WH, can’t rule out an American attack.

Did Obama lend out AF1 to the Palestinians?

[Vendome]

Iran does not the ability to reach Israel with their airfarce. Unless it is a one way mission, they would go Bingo fuel before they even reached the border.

Besides they would have to fly past our planes and that ain’t gonna happen.

[GonzoGOP]

What neighbor of theirs would be dumb enough to do that.

Iran. But that would mean Obama let them fly over Iraq. Not saying that he wouldn't just that it would put us squarely and openly on the side of the Iranians.

[GeronL]

Thats why they built those HAWK missiles.

Haaretz is pretty reputable. It’s passover in Israel - I know that INN isn’t even updating there website. Still nothing from Ynet or Jpost . . . if something did happen the Israelis may have their media censors up

[Rational Thought]

Since 2008, Iran claims it’s warplanes can reach Israel and back without refueling. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know.

Isn’t it kind of pathetic they don’t have any aircraft that can fly such a short sortie?
