Hi Nadine; Re: "Carl, much of the heavy equipment for the Iraq War was shipped through the port of Haifa."

This is a good example of "essentially zero logistical assistance".

Re: "Well that certainly lets out any of the Arab states, none of whom are worth anything but window dressing when it comes to fighting."

(a) I'm not putting the Arab states up as suggestions for new allies.

(b) Despite their small size, these Arab states were able to send troops, and when operating in Arab lands, having Arab soldiers alongside ours is very helpful.

Re: "Of course, I'm sure you'd be glad to win some popularity by wiping out Israel for them since they can't do it themselves."

The hell do you come up with this?
