Read an interesting article today stating that Saudi Arabia has given Israel permission to overfly their country to attack Iran if they so choose. The article also states that although Israel and Saudi Arabia have their own differences they both loath the government and policies of Iran. Comments anyone?

If I were a bookie in Vegas, Israel would be the heavy favorite to take on Iran before anyone else. They are slowly forming a first strike game plan right in front of us and most people are missing it. Unfortunately they will have to go at Iran alone, we will be sitting that one out unless they wait till another POTUS is elected. If they wait, they can probably get us and the Brits to back them though the Brits may still be smarting over how they used British passports to assassinate those Hamas boys.

i'd really like to see a link to that article. that's so damn crazy if it's for real. i'm all for israel, though, and hope they follow through with their potential plans for attack.

saudi arabia will not give israel air corridor for iran strike

It's so simple...
just fire off a dozen ICBM's and turn that sheithole Iran into glass.

Glare at anyone who complains, and thin that herd too. issedoff:

I really doubt that Saudi Arabia will allow Jewish pilots over their country. However, it would not surprise me if those same Jewish pilots were to fly over Saudi Arabia at near ground level, and put in a sneak attack. Some years back, looking at the remains of a battle field those Jewish pilots shot up, the entrance holes in the front of trucks were less than an inch higher than the exit holes in the back. The planes were flying less than 50 feet off the ground, at supersonic speeds, and hitting their targets. At that altitude, they could be over the top of Saudi Arabia before the Saudis even know they're there.

Think about it. We sent bombers into Afganistan and didn't say a word until the mission was over and all planes were safely back on the ground here. They could do something like that too.

[Mr. Ford95]

They most certainly could Wind and prolly will do just that if they need to. Never hurts to ask first if you can have permission to fly over though. Asking gives them a couple of answers, one being whether they can "borrow" some airspace, the other being, what side will the Kingdom take. Will they toss a major fit about you even asking after you explain why, as in they like Iran or will they just say no, no thanks, we're too close to Iran to risk opening ourselves up to retaliation, as in they want to stay nuetral? The Kingdom is not the only country they can ask, they could check with Turkey for a Northern run or Jordan and Iraq for a more direct run. If I were Israel I'd be looking at a 2 prong attack for the direct route or Northern one, Tehran is to the North of Iran. Take out the head while also coming in across SA illegally.

I don't THINK so! :hellno:

Say what you like on this one, Hobo. I talked to a reporter that toured the battlefield after it was over. He had photos of it that were considered far too graphic to be published. The planes were not "diving" and strafing. They were down on the deck. I'm going by the information he gave me, and I did have a good look at quite a number of pictures. And, it was the Israeli military that told him the planes were flying above mach 1. But, as always, you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

However, flying at that speed, that low to the ground, by the time you hear the planes coming, you've been all shot up, and they've passed over you and are out of sight again. You don't even get the chance to point at them. But, there's more.

Visiting Lockheed Martin representative says Israel seeking to acquire F-35 jets, three Hercules planes; each stealth aircraft comes with roughly $80 million price tag. IDF expected to receive airplanes in four to six years

Care to make a bet, they already have a few?

1st question... WHAT battle and field? When?

2nd question.... was your reporter friend ever a truck driver?

So.... were the trucks 50+ feet TALL???? Or were they on a hill? BTW.... I haven't found the proof yet, but I don't believe ANY jet can fly 50 feet off the ground at SUPERSONIC speeds.

However, flying at that speed, that low to the ground, by the time you hear the planes coming, you've been all shot up, and they've passed over you and are out of sight again. You don't even get the chance to point at them.

That's not entirely true.

Since the f-35 Joint Strike fighter is not yet in production.... yeah... I'll take that bet.

the 8 day war or something like that. It's been a number of years now. And, no, he was not a truck driver. Middle-aged guy working for a TV station. Don't believe he ever had any thoughts about driving a truck.

So, think about it. A decade ago, you would also have said that you can not fly a jumbo jet at roof-top level over NYC either...:smokin::lol:

I can't say I was talking specifically about the F-35. It's not the only aircraft with stealth technology.
