that Tel Aviv would start a war without US consent

Like W, they won't ask permission to protect themselves.

Why does Obama expect Israel to commit suicide just to please him?

[pennboricua]

if it is between another Holocaust and pissing off our Muslim loving president, is there any question what Israel will do?

[Condor51]

The MiG-29, one of the fighter jets used by Arab countries and Iran, has been developed to counter American-made jets such the F-16, used by the IAF.

This is from wiki, so... take it for what its worth. But the MIG-29 was developed by the Ruskies to counter the F-15, not the F-16.

And an odd thing in this article and others on the subject is they all say Israel IS using F-16s in this dog fighting practice. Not that the F-16 couldn't beat the MIG-29 but Israel also has F-15's which 'technically' would be a better match for the MIG-29 as they are almost equal spec wise. (Like in Korea with the F-86₍₁₎ and MIG-15)

So.. Could the F-16 news be disinformation to lull Iran into thinking an easy victory then Israel actually attacks with their F-15's? Or.. Israel uses BOTH F-16s and F-15s and really though a curve ball at the Mullahs.

(1) The F-86 Sabre is the most beautiful plane ever made. It SCREAMS..... 'Jet Fighter'.

What’s interesting is an Arab country (Egypt, Jordan?) are cooperating with Israel to take our the Persian threat.

The Israeli Air Force (IAF) is training against warplanes in service with Arab nations and Iran amid worries in the White House that Tel Aviv would start a war without US consent.

Oh, that's right... Sovereignty is a non-word in the nobama swamp. Such haughty arrogance.

The occupant of the White House is obsessed with having control? Nah.

Yet another demonstration of Obama's narcissism. How *dare* Israel ponder defending themselves against genocide without consulting The One.

[Brad from Tennessee]

The stick Obama holds over Israel would be to cut off U.S. aid. If that happened Israel wouldn't have much to lose in waging a war of depopulation and expansion against its hostile neighbors.

They need to be training their ICBM crews is what they need to be training. Wipe out Iran

How dare Israel behave like a sovereign nation and not hold their breath waiting for US consent to fight for their lives!/SAR

I always wondered why they put up with the arrogance from the US leaders and with a muslim/communist in office I can see no benefit to them at all in kissing butt with Bozo.
