I'm sorry. I thought you had read my posts before replying.Originally Posted by namvet
Especially where I suggested you look at a map.they can fly over the med. all the way.
B-52s? B1s? B2s? Or any aircraft that can fly from Israel to Tehran and back without refuelling?they have the exact same capabilites here we do. that's what they'll use.
Are you feeling OK?

Above what country would they do this refuelling? Turkey is very unlikely to grant permission for them to enter their airspace for ANY reason. And if/when President Obama pulls our troops out of Iraq too early and the country reverts to terrorist rule (do you think that can't happen?), Iraq won't grant them permission either.
Did you have some other country in mind, above which Israel can do their midair refulling? Which one?
My suggestion to look at a map, is generally applicable.
These are all reasons why Israel almost MUST strike now, before Obama takes office. They are much more likely to succeed before then, than after.

You know, I can't help but think that, should Israel decide to hit Iran, they will not worry about permission to refuel should it be necessary. The attack on Iran will have pissed off everyone in the region, so why bother asking for permission? In for a penny, in for a pound.

nuke-u-lar get it right
And just exactly WHAT airforce is going to stop them over Iraq??? it sure as hell won't be us or the Iraqis. Your forgeting that Iraq has no airforce to speak of to stop them.
So what is your point!!!!???? They won't need permission to refuel over Iraq.....

I think that we have to admit that is an unfair comment....they would have done it without Bush's approval too......

Russia was shooting down high-flying aircraft with guided missiles back in the 60s. And from whom do you think the terrorists who take over Iraq when Obama pulls out, will be buying their hardware from with all those nice petrodollars they'll have access to?
As I have said, Israel would be VERY wise to hit Iran's nuke facilities BEFORE Obama takes office. After he takes office, conditions certainly won't be more favorable for them, and may be much worse. Can Israel afford to take the chance that they can still hit Iran afterward??

B-52s? B1s? B2s? are you feeling ok ???? no. I don't think you are.
nuke-u-lar get it right
You are ASSUMING that Isreal is looking at doing this years from now. Guess what that aint going to happen. If they don't attack iran in the next 12 months they never will. So your whole train of thought is WRONG
Ohh by the way when exactly are we LEAVING Iraq. We will have a presence in Iraq for decades to come just like we do in Germany and Japan, Or do you think otherwise...

I am?
Where do you get such strange, silly statements......
Our President-elect seems to think otherwise. Direct your question to him.We will have a presence in Iraq for decades to come just like we do in Germany and Japan, Or do you think otherwise...
