#1 Call me crazy, but given Iran's nuclear aspirations and vows to attack Israel, I don't think the Israelis are going to take too kindly to this. I'm debating whether I should get the popcorn ready . . .

#2 How long before the bunker busters fly? I'm betting before March 2005.

#4 Interestingly enough, the IAF has vehicles which can fly higher, farther, faster, longer, with a LOT heavier payload, and return safely. I like the Jooooos' chances in this comparison, LOL

#5 It doesn't mater what Israeli aircraft can do if the Iranians have the targeting data they need for ballistic missiles.

#6 think Iran's got that accuracy? Think they would need it? I don't. I'm also not sure those missiles would ever make it. Think defense

#7 Think what happens if one does. No defence is impenetrable.

#8 First off, the U.S. Army sold the Israeli some seriously "gucci" hardware for missile defense.

Secondly, the Israelis will never... repeat never allow the Iranians get even close to realizing thier nuclear aspirations.

The US have recent advance the developement of a 30k convention bomb that explodes a hundred feet below the ground. You can read about it on open source media.

Wow. Wonder what that is for.

#9 I predict it'll be soon after the Iraqi elections. But we'll do it ourselves.

#10 There they go again (the mullahs & proxies) just pushing all the wrong buttons.
