Joe Biden? The Map Office is Calling!

by Bruce WebbThe blogosphere is alive with news that Joe implicitly green-lighted an Israeli attack on Iran. Well I had my say here and there. I just want to share a map from Cordesman and Toukan's Study on a Possible Israeli Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Development Facilities in part since it tells its own story. Plus it's pretty damn cool looking."Gosh if a 'sovereign' Israel just decides to bomb Iran who could possibly blame the U.S.? It is not like we completely control Iraqi air space. Oh wait.Israel cannot attack Iran without material assistance from the U.S. which at a minimum means refueling assistance and crisis landing fields. Full stop.(update- JS Kit doesn't recognize my phone. So I will respond to comments hereThe Sunday Times (UK) free a very short report based on a supposed secret meeting by Mossad to Netanyahu about some permission by Saudi Arabia. The only source actually named in the story is John Bolton and considering the J Post/Sunday Times/Murdoch/AIPAC nexus I am waiting for some additional authoritative sourcing. For example Haaretz is today reporting an official administration denial.As for the Eitan it is an unmanned turbo-prop additional intended for surveilance than bombing hard-bitten targets with its insignificant payload. It would be shot down the instant it went under 20000 feet. At 40000 ft it is practically untouchable. Then once more so was the U-2-we thought.
