Israel Giving US Satellite Images Of Islamic State
2014-09-10
[IsraelTimes] Israel has provided the US with intelligence and satellite images on Islamic State positions, as well as information on Westerners joining its ranks, to assist Washington in its ongoing operation against the Islamic State, Rooters reported Monday, citing an unnamed Western official.

Israeli spy satellites were said to have greater access to the region, allowing the US to "fill out its information and get a better battle damage assessment" in the aftermath of its Arclight airstrikes, the diplomat said, according to the report.

The news came as a State Department spokeswoman said that more than 40 countries have already indicated a willingness to help out in some way against the myrmidons, who have seized a swath of Syria and northern Iraq.

#4  "What the goal of the coalition is is to coordinate on the threat that ISIL poses," Jen Psaki said

Compare and contrast that with "The goal of the coalition is to eliminate ISIL". State Department wankers.

#3  Two months from mid-term elections as well.

You're right. Probably just a coincidence.

#2  Satellite images are one thing, imagery analysis fused with Human Intelligence (HUMINT) and other disciplines is yet another.

Anyone [besides me] notice the tone down of anti-Israeli rhetoric coming out of the White House in the last few weeks. Probably just a coincidence, or did Champ and ValJar get the DCI's memo ?

#1  Israel has provided the US with intelligence and satellite images

WTF????

All help is great but since when does the US have to go elsewhere for satellite images??

Help with Arabic and Social media sure, the buffoons we've got would go with a stronger hash-tag, but satellite images?????
