Israel and the US are in talks regarding the possibility that America will leave several Patriot 3 missile defense systems behind, following a joint missile defense exercise that will begin next week, defense officials said Monday.
The Juniper Cobra exercise will begin next week in southern Israel, where US and Israeli forces will run simulations on various threat scenarios involving missile attacks against Israel.
Ahead of the exercise, some 15 US Navy ships have arrived in Israel, in addition to about a dozen transport planes that brought equipment to air force bases in the Negev.
This year's drill is being described as the largest joint exercise ever held by the countries. During it they will jointly test four ballistic missile defense systems - the Israeli Arrow 2, the ship-based Aegis, the high-altitude THAAD and the Patriot (PAC) 3 systems. This is the first time that all of these systems are deployed here.

My guess is Iran would ship it in via Syria...the missile defense is most needed for Europe. Although we all know what’s happened with that.
The Iranian missile shipment would risk interception by Egyptian or Israeli authorities.
It looks like Israel will be attacked before the end of the year *if* she doesn’t act first-God forgive America is HolyO turns his back on our ally!
I wasn’t necessarily talking about missiles, but do you think the Israeli intelligence is good enough to keep things (like that) from moving?

********************************
Last year we were posting on this board that Israel needed to strike before Bush left office.
What makes it look to you that they “will be attacked before the end of the year”?
A joint military excercise is a precursor to being attacked?
If they have spy sats.
Mossad does have the capability of getting things done.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
