#1 Sunday NY Times [yes, I still get it] has a great story about how the Israeli's via its President (Liebermann) are now cozing-up to the Russians in order to create a possible alliance to counter-balance Obama's cold shoulder. Another example of brilliant diplomacy on Obama's part. Does this guy even understand basic world politik? In Chicago, if someone you want to influence decides to ignore you and ally with another pol, you just get some dirt on him and publish it in the Sun-Times or Trib. Or you get precinct workers or ACORN to discredit them. But this is Israel, dummy, and you better have something more than Chicago tactics to back you up.

#5 Israel doesn't make plane engines (Lavi had Russian corpus, IMI electronics and Rolls Royce engines). However, Israel can offer China human cloning.

#6 I just checked.... the engines on the Lavi were Pratt and Whitney.

#7 It's not the engines themselves, its the advance metallurgy and composites that seems to be the hang up.
