Obama would order the military to shoot down the Israeli jets. No doubt in my mind.

I think there is some disinformation campaign going on. From Iran's point of view, If Saudi help was reported by Brit newspaper and denied by Saudi themselves, what is really true? The original report or Saudi denial. After all, Saudi could still let Israeli planes fly over their land. Premature leak and hasty denial could be also interpreted as another smokescreen.
On the other hand, it could be a ruse to throw off Iran. Israeli planes could fly over Kurdistan, over belated vocal protests from WH after the act. That is also the possibility. How about the story of Israel talking to Oman over the use of their airbase which came out months ago?
All kinds of leaks, some of them intentional, would come out in coming days if Israel would go for attack. Disinformation itself would be planned by Israel. They know who would leak info to Muslims or Iran's Mullah regime.

You are correct. This “denial” is similar to Pakistan’s ‘protests’ of our drone attacks.

Unless there is a dissenter within the ruling family in Saudi Arabia, trying to warn Iran and warn off Israel?
Or someone in the regime of O so they would look like they are Islam's friend....

Tough call to vector U.S. fighters to shoot down an Israeli fighter. You have got to wonder how many of our pilots would do it.. or have a "misfire" and rocket some sand.
Damn thing went right off the rail into the desert.

To: mnehring
the whole point of the original article was this.....get the Saudis in public to stop their planned tacit approval of the bombing, which the Israelis will do anyway....the sooner the better

Nuclear armed Shites are a bigger threat to Saudi Arabia than to the US or Israel. They have 1300 years of injustice and control of the holy sites of Islam (Mecca, Medina) to get even for. They are the true target of the “true believers”.

are you kidding? it will be more like “The Saudi Royal Air Force engaged the Israel jets as our supreme anti-aircraft chased the zionists back to their desert.
They will probably even claim to have shot down a few.

I am surprised this became public. I'm not.
If this had US approval, the leak came from the US.
I'd bet on it.

Obama would order the military to shoot down the Israeli jets. No doubt in my mind. Even if so - would the millitary execute that order?
Seems absurd to even think that, but these are interesting times...
