While a strike against Iran might be a good idea, I don’t really see how Israel could pull it off.

First of all, how many refuelings will the have to make in order for the planes to make a round trip? How will this affect their ordnance carrying capacity? How many round trips will they have to make to hit all the key sites? And, most of all, how will they make it across the air space of at least 3 different countries without being knocked down out of the sky?

What would Israel have to lose? The world already hates them, the UN stifles them at every turn. I say bomb the savages and work with their younger population who from all accounts are eager to step out from under the rule of the Mooslahs......

The neighbors will pretend not to see the stike packages
transiting their airspace. The diplomatic groundwork is
being laid as we speak. All the neighbors would just
as soon not have a nuclear armed Iran.

We will make sure that tankers are orbiting as needed.

I’ll bet the ill-gotten gains in my 401k on the Israelis.

A country with its existence at stake will come up with creative and realistic solutions to survive. Especially Israel, which has some very motivated and talented people.

What would international law say about a pilot who ejected over Iraq after dropping his payload and surrendered to the U.S. forces there?
