> Israel Plans Strike on Iran (brought to you by the makers of ’Strike on Iraq’)

It is so cute that people believe that Israel could even fathom a plan like that without any of the tools necessary. Their jets can barely make it to Iran’s border and back without refueling in mid-air (which Israel cannot do). The best part is the ground commandos. If their best jet cannot make it to Iran and back, how do you get ground commandos with the necessary gear on the ground and back out!
There is a line that propaganda crosses when it becomes a joke and a plausible Israeli strike is that joke.
As a side note, Israel only took out the Iraq reactor DURING the Iran-Iraq war and AFTER Iran took out Iraqi radar and and ground defenses in a previous failed raid to destory the reactor.
It is easy to take out a reactor when the country is at war and has already been weakened. Funny how no news agencies mention that tid-bit.
