Especially when I think the WH would refuse to help them with clearances over Iraq.

That's the kicker. I'm thinking back to the time that Obama met with Netanyahu. During the press conference afterwards I got the impression that Obama had been schooled on the situation in the ME including Iran and looked rather uneasy after the meeting. In other words, I think Netanyahu summed Obama up as clueless and weak in about 2 seconds.....therefore not reliable for support with Iran in any real constructive manner.

I wouldn't put it past the Israelis to quietly put out feelers to commanders in Iraq.

This could really cause a problem. I can see Israel saying f you, we are over flying Iraq. I can see the Israel military hating fools in the White House saying shoot them down. And I can see military officers either not shooting or intentionally missing with inactive missiles.

All of these things are a huge problem some of them constitutionally.

If they get it, should take a few months for setup and calibration plus training. I just don't see how the Israelis can pull this off


I suspect the Russians will never fuel that reactor. Why should they? They can squeeze concessions galore out of us as long as they dangle that apple.
