Please God, let them have the balls to do it! It will get nasty, but it has to be done.

[AZRepublican]

If this is true why are we reading about it? Doesn't sound like much of a plan if it is being reported in advance for all to see.

[MinorityRepublican]

I doubt that we'll let the Israelis do it. Maybe we hate Iran as much as they do, but I doubt that Pentagon would want to deal with the fallout resulting from an Israeli Airstrike.

[Eclectica]

Oh great!

Don't ask the Iraqis for air rights: ask "the occupiers" and improve US-Iraq relations. /s

Just do it...we won't look. :^)

[Genyous]

BUMP

"Israel seeks all clear for Iran air strike."

Sure. It's okay with me. Enjoy yourselves!!

(seriously, God bless and Godspeed)

[Lancey Howard]

"All clear, Israel!"

There.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

If they can reveal this it could mean a plan is (or shortly will be) in motion. I hope Abby Dinnerjacket is relieving himself in his shorts right now.

Don't forget to buzz Mookie Sadr's home on the way back.

Haaretz.com - Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh (Labor) denied Saturday that Israel was in negotiations with U.S. authorities on the issue.

It was thought the Israelis couldn't pull it off, due to the fact they would need refuelling. Apparently, this plane has the range to reach Tehran and return.

I know this article is total crap, but man, that would be pretty awesome if it happened...

[Quix]

SICK EM.

GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEM. GRANT THEM GREAT EFFECTIVENESS.

And give us the cajones to support them.

[Halgr]

I would think that if this were real....that it would not be in the media anywhere.

That said, I'm here in my corner rooting for Isreal.

[Dosa26]

All said, I don't see what Israel can do aside from provoking iran and the rest of the ME then help us clean up the mess. All they could "signifigantly" do is nuke the nuke and missile sites. Some one please correct me if I'm wrong.

[ASA Vet]

Which Rag country will give them permission to overfly their territory to get to and from Iraqi airspace? Syria, Jordan, or Saudi?

TO: Mr. Olmert

Dear Mr. Olmert,

We have considered your request to fly over U.S. occupied territory in order to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities. We find your request to be insulting, and demand that you keep your air force grounded. It is OUR desire to blast Iranian nuclear and military facilities to smithereens, and our attack will be underway by the time you receive this memo. We like mixing it up with the mullahs and don't need your help at this time.

W.
