Holding a can of whoop ass, just need the can-opener...

Israeli's kick ass! I am reminded of a certain raid in 1981...

What? Osirak? Huh?? BOOM! Shit! wtf??
 
For those of you with access to JWICS I highly suggest you look over Flyinspies document space there where he posted more information vice the TV speculation.
 
Speaking of Whoop Ass...you can really buy the stuff.

Concern...

This will be AWESOME :( if they preempt a strike on Iran. The Georgian Conflict, Iraq, Afghanistan......this might be the spark that would set the world on fire.

The last thing we would need..but hey, I might get my SNA slot then!? (the highest sarcasm of course) I fear the worst is coming though...

What do you guys think will happen when a new administration takes over? I'm interested in you all's thoughts on where we will go from here.
(Best case scenarios/wost case senarios and what you guys see Obama and McCain's approach will be in dealing with these issues...etc..etc..)

I heard/read somewhere that Israel said if Bush does not resolve the Iran nuclear issue before the elections...that they would take matters into their own hands.

Talk is cheap, I'd like to know how they plan to pull of the tanker support.

They've got five, and one of the proposed attack routes (with us turning a blind eye) would be through Iraq, where the tankers could operate with impunity.

"turning a blind eye" would really only implicate us directly, as opposed to an alternate routing through non-U.S.-controlled airspace. A Syria-Turkey-Iran route is plausible, and allows the U.S. to maintain its distance from the attack, although I'm not sure exactly what the Turks would do militarily. What sort of relationship do the Turks and Israelis share?

WRT subs, boomers could sink Tehran from their home ports, if need be. I don't think taking an Ohio class SSGN into the Persian Gulf is SOP either, since they are so large/unwieldy. In any case, TLAM's have a range 2000 km + range and an SSGN could hit Iran from the Med (or Caspian Sea ;))

From the OP's article: "And the U.S., aware of Israel's high anxiety over Iran's nukes, is also hooking Israel up to an advanced missile detection system known as X-Band to guard against any future attack by Iran, said a senior U.S. defense official"

So is this 'advanced missile detection system' really called "X-Band," or is it just a X-band radar? My money is on the latter... silly MSM.

The turks and israelis actually get along fairly well and have worked together on exercises before. However, I highly doubt Turkey would let them use their airpspace. They barely let us use their airspace in 2003 for Iraq.
