For whatever it is worth..., I hope this report has some validity!

AFP is mainstream. No reason to give it other than a modality 1.

I get a little tired of the "Israel is the master of war" nonsense. Oh yeah, we're 'ignorant' and the Israelis have to come in and save the day. What a pile of BS.

The IDF's reputation is based on wars with Arabs. When we fought the Arabs in the Gulf War they were surrendering to our UAVs and news reporters. That's the quality of opponent the IDF faced.

Israel should step aside, shut the ---- up, and let us take care of business.

We have learned from last time (what we already knew) that SCUDS are simple machines. They are gravity guided missles. In order to hit anywhere near the intended target they have to lauch from specific "SCUD boxes." I have seen a map showing said boxes. It greatly reduces the areas we have to search. Our ability to keep them under scrutiny has greatly improved since last time as well. The advantages of unleashing Israel as a teamate this time are nearly infinite by my calculation.

Cool. But what do they do if they find one? These things aren't permanently dug in, are they?

" Israel special forces are operating inside western Iraq, pinpointing locations where Iraqi missile lauchers might be positioned,..."

There was an attack about 3 weeks ago involving over one hundred aircraft from the USA and UK. Wasn't that in western Iraq?
