Israeli Warplanes Practice for Raid on Iran Nukes
Friday, June 20, 2008 12:42 PM

WASHINGTON -- A large Israeli military exercise this month may have been aimed at showing Jerusalem's abilities to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.

In a substantial show of force, Israel sent warplanes and other aircraft on a major exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean early this month, Pentagon officials said Friday.

Israel's military refused to confirm or deny that the maneuvers were practice for a strike in Iran.

Russia's foreign minister Friday warned against the use of force on Iran, saying there is no proof it is trying to build nuclear weapons with a program that Tehran says is for generating power. [I'm inclined to disbelieve him, as long as Russia is making money assisting Iran with its nuclear research program.]

U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the sensitive matter for the record....

EDITORIAL NOTE: The attack may not take place today or tomorrow, but the Israelis don't believe in taking any unnecessary chances. Israel and the USA have been pleading with Iran over and over again to give up their nuclear program, but the mullahs seem intent on building nukes and developing delivery systems for them.

Here are the facts:

If Obama is elected Israel will attack before the inaguration.....period. Here's why. Israel knows that with an Obama presidency we will be less likely to assist than during a Bush administration. You will find that either way this election will determine Iran attacking israel or the other way around.

I think it should be noted that Barrack Obama is considering Tyrone D. Lewis as a possible canidate to sit on his Military Advisement Board. Mr. Lewis is a pillar of his community in St. Louis, MO. As a police Explorer he led several tactical training exercises as well as helf a tactics conference at his local community center in an effort to help neighboring gangs and their members work out their differences. Mr. Lewis now resides in FL. and he is currently working on a youth program that gives kids basketballs instead of guns and rap music.
