#1 Israel also adjusted the orbits of its military satellites to allow them to track any Hizballah missiles at the moment they are launched from Lebanon...... or Iran

#2 More reasons why the 20-mile "buffer zone" is insuffic or obsolete before it is even established - 9-11 > THE WOT > THE "STATUS QUO" IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE/TOLERABLE TO THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA = WESTERN DEMOCRACIES-CAPITALISM. E.g the Spetzies want the USA-West out from Spain to Iraq = "the enitire/whole world" in Camel-kaze speak. Israel = USA > any per se military defeat or unilateral withdrawal unto national isolationism = enemy armies will show up in the back yards and mainstreets of AnyTown, AnyCity, AnyPlace, ...............Any-Kibbutz in CONUS + the Western world. THE WOT IS A DE FACTO NATIONAL AND WORLD-GLOBAL WAR TO THE DEATH, THE DEATH OF ONE SIDE + -ISM(S) VS ANY AND ALL OTHERS - ARMISTICE ONLY MEANS THE ENEMY IS GONNA KILL YOU AND YOURS, ETAL. SLOWLY THAN USUAL = WILL WAR AND ATTACK AGAIN AND AGAIN ONCE STRENGTH IS REGAINED. WIll say again the irony for mostly Muslim Lebanon and Syria is that any destruction of Israel does not mean their own nations and Moderate-Sunni = non-Shia Islam is safe from Radical Iran. THEIR ALLIES OR FELLOW MUSLIMS ARE NOT THEIR FRIENDS.

#3 The C-114. Wasn't that the Flying Boxcar?

#4 Boxcar was a C-19. I think Moose meant C-17.

#5 That was Debka, not Moose, and I think they meant C-141. Not the first time they've made that error.

#7 DEBKA didn't just transpose the numbers; they got the designation wrong. As someone pointed out the other day the C-141s went to Starlifter heaven at Davis-Monthan. The last C-141 went to the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio on May 9, 2006. I agree with #4. Debka must have meant the C-17 Globemaster III.

#8 Isn't #6 the retired C-141 Starlifter?
