The likely route to Iran, beginning at regional dusk preferably in the dark a new moon, is to fly a great circle around Iraq. Only careful planning carried out with precision timing and execution will ensure success. For this route, almost every applicable IAF logistics and support asset would be utilized. The first leg for any F-15I and F-16I fighter bombers is a low-level run up the Mediterranean in the area of the Syrian town of Latakin, where up to three KC-707s (aerial tankers) in race track orbit would top up the tanks of the strike group. This tankage is absolutely necessary for the shorter-legged F-16I (range 1,300 miles). Refueling the F-15I (range 2765 miles) is desirable but not a necessity unless intelligence suggests targets beyond eastern Iran. To skirt Turkish airspace and the ability of the Turkish military to raise an alarm heard throughout the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the strike group with two pairs of Gulfstream G-550s: one of each outfitted as a network-centric collaborative targeting (NCCT) and one each employing Senior Suter technology must fly low across northern Syria. The G-550 is a small package with the range the speed to accompany the strike group round trip without refueling - therefore up to the challenge. The NCCT aircraft ferrets out air defense radars. The Suter partner beams a data stream containing, what in computer parlance is called a a "worm", into air defense radars with the capability of incapacitating an entire air defense network, if such a network is under centralized control. This technology pioneered by the US Air Force and part of the code named the "Big Safari" program is heady stuff said to work wonders over Syria during the IAF's strike on Syria's North Korean-designed nuclear reactor in September 2007...

Do we actually think that the Obama regime will go along with a strike on Iran? I doubt it. I’m sure that Obama has told the Israeli’s that they will be fighting and resupplying on their own if they attack Iran and trigger a border conflict in the ME, with Hezbullah throwing missiles and rockets at Israel.
The Hizzies are going to do that anyway, my guess is, Israel will have to deal first with that. But OTOH, they’re up against a timetable — which apparently they know better than we do — of ridding the world of the Iranian mullahcracy’s nuke bomb project. The rocket attacks wouldn’t start until after the long distance strike force is back or at least well on its way back.
Israel will use ground troops against the Hizzie bunkers; also, the Bekah will be closed down first, cork the bottle, and then the entire Hizzie infrastructure, and most of its ground forces, in the south of Lebanon, destroyed.

Just sayin......
Obama might go along with this to get re-elected.
Enough said
First: they will have to take out the newly installed Iranian early warning radar in Syria, as well as the Russian base air defenses (S-300/400 Systens) in Syria also... Thus bringing the Russians in on the Iranian side... nice work...
Far better is the southern route over northern Saudia Arabia... were possible permisssion has been granted... maybe ...
Wouldn’t it be far easier to decapitate the Iranian regime with a “tragic plane crash (or other accident/s)?” Repeat as necessary until some sane heads are in power in Iran.
Well maybe if the King of Saudi Arabia told him to go along with it...
Agree 100%. The most plausible scenario is that Obama trades passive assent for an Israeli strike on Iran for Israel agreeing to what would have been previously considered “unacceptable” Palestinian agreement. Arab states in the region are scared sh**less by the Mullahs now, let alone with nukes. Outside of public wailing, there won’t be any private remorse for a denuked and maybe even a dethroned mullahcracy. Obama then cashes in on the “historic” (isn’t that his favorite term?) peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians. It’s a win-win for Barry: the Iranian problem is settled on his watch, but at no direct expense/threat to the US, and he is hailed as the “great peacemaker”.
I’ll agree that this is totally against his nature, but the political folks surrounding him are running out of options. They stand to have their domestic agenda stalled, if not reversed/defunded, after the midterms. And, there’s no other way he can turn the economic tide around. Seems crazy, I’ll admit, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this roll out in some similar fashion. We certainly seem to be stocking up assets in the region. And previous administrations (eg, Bush 41) have manipulated existential threats against the Israelis to extract behaviors that seemingly were not in their best interest.
Lieberman didn’t go to the Baltic states to discuss herring.
:’) I think I saw something like this in “National Treasure”. More lemons! More heat!
...or because he works for the King of Saudi Arabia.
Looks like a lot of detail in a newspaper op-ed, doesn’t it? Almost as if it’s either a leak, or some disinfo directed at Turkey, Syria, and Iran.
very possible...
also may want to follow my link up in number 13.
thx...
