Israel and Saudi Arabia reportedly have a plan In place to allow Israeli planes to overfly and refuel in Saudi airspace.

The article presupposes those Iraqi F-16’s will pose an immediate threat as soon as their pilots lay eyes on them. It will take at least a year before they become marginally proficient.

What a relief. I was worried we had stopped pouring our tax dollars down the Iraqi rathole.

By the fall of 2017, Iraq will have received 36 F-16 fighters, said Mark Johnson, a spokesman for Lockheed Martin, the manufacturer of the F-16

Good Grief! Why in the hell are we pouring more money into that rat hole.

We might as well just arm the iranians.

Recently there was another large “explosion” in Iran

It may be that the war of threats and words is covering the actual war in country that is containing the Iranian nuclear threat.

I wanted Israel to do it well before the 2008 election. I don’t think there is a sense of urgency on this attack, despite the catastrophic costs of the continuing delay.

If Israel attacks Iran all hell will break loose, world markets will collapse and the United States will morph from our current contained depression into a real and protracted depression. Iran is not Iraq.

Amongst the many challenges confronting Israel (and perhaps an Arab ally or two, not America) in terminating Iran's nuclear program, I have a feeling that newly delivered F16s is way down the list. Unless Obama plans on delivering American pilots.
