I wonder if some of our air tankers over Iraq would just happen to sort-of maybe accidentally mistake Israeli planes for US planes and refuel them on the way there and back. Just a thought, mistakes happen.

If I were Bush, I'd be on the horn - "You fly, I'll buy. All the Jet-A and bunker busters you need boys."

I have to think we could refuel those planes in flight and no one would ever be the wiser.

If you look at the possible routes for attack, this campaign would be much easier and safer if the IAF could utilize airfields in Iraq for refueling and emergency landing.

Personally, I think it is the least the US could do for "allowing" Israel to do the west's dirty work. The trick is for the US to turn this aid to its political advantage. It can be done.
