In other words Lebanon admitted their SAM’s need some work.

Well they call them MISSiles for a reason. You need to fire a lot of SAMs in a coordinated manner to guarantee a hit. The idea being that the fist SAM drives you into the kill zone of the second or third SAM. Shooting them off one at a time you are just counting on luck or poor piloting skill on the part of your adversary, since almost any SAM can be defeated with chaff, flairs and evasive maneuvering.. And when the adversary is the IAF the piloting skill isn't in question.

Not that surprising. Read Ezekiel 37-39. It’ll all be made quite clear. The USA will just sit and let Israel be attacked. Thank God He will rescue them.

Israel is so small I’m amazed they can even fly jets without constantly being in sombody else’s airspace?

I read that Sweden during ww2 shot at both ally and axis aircraft that flew over their airspace. Distressed planes were allowed to land, but the crews were incarcerated...and put in luxury hotels. A secret ally operation later in the war, was bringing the ally airmen back home.

Meanwhile, at the end of the war, the Swedes turned about 3,000 germans over to the Russians. The Germans were so angry about being turned over to the russians, that they began riots, killed themselves, began hunger strikes and self mutilation campaigns.

Google searching newspaper archive articles is pretty cool for the history buff.

You gave good reasons for the IDF to be flying over another nations airspace. Reason with which I happen to agree. Tell me however, if Al Quaeda had an air force, would you feel the same about them flying over the U.S.?

Somehow, Obama will claim he inherited the three front war from Bush.

I wonder where they landed and how many “civilians” were killed?

There are four links I'll direct you to. Read them in order and it'll explain where the USA is and explain the whole war scenario as it could possibly happen.

Battle of Ezekiel 38-39 - Part 1

Battle of Ezekiel 38-39 - Part 2

Battle of Ezekiel 38-39 - Part 3

Let me know what you think.

>>This all has the makings of a world war.<<

It is almost certainly coming. Obama is all but inviting it but, to be fair, it would happen regardless. There is no other way out of this mess and hasn’t been for years.

It is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. We are at the part just before they actually hit. There will be blood.

And then there is my tag line.
