From an Israeli pov, that's not a very reassuring response and a message not to go it alone, or at least not without getting US permission first.

Have a hard time picturing the USAF shooting down IAF aircraft . . .

So, tell us again about the “evil” Republicans, Mr. Dershowitz.

It’s very hard for them to choose between a long standing US ally and Obambi’s muslim dictator friends.

Israel won’t use planes, they have missiles on submarines.....where...they transited the Suez early this year....where are they....loitering in the Arabian Sea......

Look, Ma, no planes!

Our Air Force might, and I repeat MIGHT, be able to take down an Israely plane if it was about 10 to 1. Or an Israely pilot might crash his plane because he is laughing so hard at the US pilots.

I am having a hard time picturing a CIC who would hinder free people in favor of repressive regimes .. a socialist running our country who would destroy the very free market that built and maintained this country. But it is happening.

the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Army, Mike Malen... "We have a strong exceptional relationship with Israel. I spent much time with my colleagues in Israel. And so we have a very clear understanding of where we are. Beyond that, I just would not want to get into speculation about what might happen and who might do what. Frankly, I do not think it serves any purpose. I hope that the issue will be resolved in the way which will never have to answer a question like this. "

Thanks jhpigott.
