Here's How Israel Could Use US Bombers To Strike Iranian Nukes

Israel needs U.S. B-52 bombers that can carry "bunker buster" bombs in order to attack Iran...

I do not believe this statement is factually accurate.

Mod 11: Tactical or strategic bomb with multiple yield options presumably ranging from 10 Kt (and possibly lower yields) to 340 Kt. This is a modified Mod 7 with a one-piece case hardened steel center case, and a new nose piece and rear subassembly to provide ground penetration capability for defeating buried targets ("bunker busting"). The parachute assembly has also been removed, and new aerodynamic fins added for high-velocity, accurate delivery. The B61-11 buries itself 3-6 meters underground before detonation, transfering a much higher proportion of the explosion energy to ground shock, compared to surface bursts. The actual warhead itself is identical to the Mod 7. This is the first new model of a U.S. warhead to go into service since warhead production was suspended in 1989. It is being produced by field modification of existing Mod 7s.

Convert 767s or 757s into carrying bunker busting bombs...they have the long-range and lift capacity to carry 4-5 of them each...use airline corridors to penetrate Iranian airspace...after disabling their power and communications grid with a few well placed cruise missiles...and electronic counter-measures to scramble their air defense...but they should do this before Iran gets the latest Russian missile defense installed.

Israel won't be using US bombers. Israel can't count on US support vis a vis our new friend Iran.

If Israel tries to take action, Obama will order their planes shot down.

Yep, I've heard that would be part of that new treaty with Iran that Kerry and obama want so bad.

If what I've heard people like Hannity say is true, the treaty supposedly makes the US responsible for protecting the Iranian nuke facilities from attack and sabotage, but, at the same time, forbids US from inspecting those facilities because we don't have diplomatic relations with the Iranians.

We have the best politicians other people's money can buy, apparently.
