Wow: America’s Top Military Officer Won’t Rule out Shooting Down Israeli Aircraft if They Launch Strike on Iran

Yeah, good luck with that, America.

  1. Yep.

    We're measuring this in money, rather than morality.

    I saw somewhere on the net that the IAF won 66 to 1 some time ago over Texas...

  3. Yeah, and April 20th is Hitler's birthday. So, how fitting, huh?

    I don't know anything about the IDF exercise you are talking about, so maybe you could give me the link.

  4. How could he have possibly answered the question any other way?

    What does everyone want him to say ...... "Yes, we'll allow Iraqi airspace to be used by the Jews for an attack on Shiite Iran"

    Can you imagine the shit storm that would ignite inside Iraq?

    Or..... "We will shoot down any Israeli jet that penetrates Iraqi Airspace".

    That would leave us entirely holding the bag on destroying Iran's Facilities.

    There isn't a good .... public ..... answer to that loaded question.

    ...... personally, I dont think Israel has an attack via aircraft option for Iran ...... unless the Saudis let them refuel. I dont think they dont have anything with the necessary range.

    ..... I think the real question is "will we shoot down Israeli Missiles over Iraq?".

  6. It is gonna be hard enough to explain why we let Israeli missiles traverse Iraqi airspace, but attempted to shoot down the Iranian missiles that followed, when the time comes.

    Broadcasting our biased intentions ahead of time will only make that decision more politically difficult after the fact.

  7. All of our actions are based on a lack of nerve if not outright cowardice.
    We are behaving exactly like the Allies in 1936.
    There is one thing that is ABSOLUTELY certain and that is that war is coming no matter how hard we try to avoid it.
    The longer we wait, the worse it's going to be for everyone.

    I hate as much as anyone else to face the horrendous and unpredictable reality, but reality it is.
