Israel Warns It Might Act on Iranian Warships Passing Through Suez Canal
Fox News ^

Posted on 02/16/2011 10:14:07 AM PST by jhpigott

Israel is monitoring two Iranian warships about to pass through the Suez Canal for Syria and warn they might act.

Israeli's Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman says that "Israel cannot ignore these provocations," according to ynetnews.com.

"Unfortunately, the international community is not ready to deal with Iran's repeated provocations," Lieberman said, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Lieberman added that the warships was "a provocation that proves Iran's nerve and self-esteem is growing from day to day."

Iran announced plans to deploy warships near Israel and dock at a Syrian port for a year, IsraelNationalNews.com reports.

A senior Israeli official tells the site that "Israel will know how to deal with it."

Exocet or Harpoon them. Send them to Davey Jones locker. Pick up any survivors for intel purposes. Hold them prisoner and put them on trial. Tell the Iranium government to let the American prisoners they hold in Iran go free and then you get your idiots released and back to you.

That for starts.

“Israel will know how to deal with it.”

The odds of Iran having a Nuke device on these “ships” is very high.

Israel just has to get ready for the S***storm headed their way when they sink them.

You forgot...

1.) They have conformal fuel tanks on the F16's
2.) They have drawing and manufacturinig rights for said tanks.
3.) Short Retrofit time of said tanks.
4.) "Project Green Salad" has additional 707's being converted as air to air refuelers. Numbers run as high as a total of 7 to 9 of these aircraft.

Now what they have doen to their the F-15's I need to do some research on.

We also forget their "Boomers"... Their ships could mysteriously sink and no one would know why......

There could be any number of reasons. Sometimes posters don’t include the original title and that can confuse things a lot.

....and warn they might act.

When Israel strikes, they don't give these types of warnings. But maybe times have changed.

As expected by the Muslim Brotherhood, the Camp David Peace Accords left with Mubarak, a point the MSM "accidentally" failed to make.
