Israel seeks more involvement in Afghan war
[Iran Press TV Latest] Foreign forces in Afghanistan will use unmanned Israeli drones more extensively in the US-led war, an Israeli paper said, citing the regime's desire to be more involved in the war.
| No, no, dear journalist! In a democratic country like Israel it's called a government. It's only in a totalitarian country like Iran or North Korea -- or Venezuela -- that it's a regime. But you get points for the propaganda try. |
The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that Germany will become the fifth country whose troops in Afghanistan will operate Israeli drones as of next week.
| That doesn't make Israel involved, it just makes Israel a vendor. |
| A successful vendor. D'you think the drones are sending video to Israel as well as the purchaser? |
The German military is expected to take delivery of an undisclosed number of Israeli made surveillance-geared Heron unmanned drones, the newspaper said.
Another Israeli daily, Ha'aretz, wrote in March that Israeli-built drones have been flying in Iraqi and Afghan skies for the last three years.
| If the drones haven't been sending images to Israel, too, they've been wasting the opportunity. |
