Of course Israel could have done it directly Has everyone on the thread gone crazy? Go look at a map. Look at the size of Israel. Look at the size of Iraq. Look at the territory in between. Look at the size of Israel's armed forces - as if they had nothing else to do. What are they doing for us in our time of need a) Provide the best foreign Mideast intelligence the US gets. b) provide a port and supply route not subject to closure. The US used Haifa port heavily in the runup to war. c) Provide special forces to help clear out scuds in Western Iraq. d) be the only ally in the entire Middle East whom the US can be sure is not playing a double game with the terrorists.
