Israeli Jets Prepare For Imminent Strike Against Iran

 (PressTV) Israeli jet fighters have reportedly conducted drills at a military base in Iraq in order to strike targets inside Iran. A considerable number of Israeli warplanes were seen at al-Asad base in Iraq, reported a source close to prominent Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sader's group.

The aircraft reportedly included F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, and KC-10 jet fighters. The warplanes carried out their week-long exercises at nights, the same source added. The drills were reportedly aimed at preparing to strike Iran's air defense systems, disrupt Iran's radars and attack targets deep inside Iran. Iraqi officials had not been notified of the exercises, which were conducted in collaboration with the US military. The United States maintains numerous bases in Iraq, and the Baghdad government is not involved in any of the military deployments taking place there.

That's a funny story (from an Iranian source, btw)

"The aircraft reportedly included F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, and KC-10 jet fighters."

The IAF has neither KC-10's nor F-22's ...only WE DO

Now killing OBL is one thing, and I am TRULY happy to give Obama kudos for this ... but taking on Iran?
