Yeah, good point, but I would still rather see us only sell them F-16’s (I guess I didn’t mention that above) and not F-15’s. If they turn on us, they can cannabilize their planes for spare parts, now we gotta fight our own best fighters. If I remember right, we do sell them downgraded versions, but still, an Eagle is an Eagle and could do some damage.

And I sure as hell don’t trust Turkey with our shiney new F-35’s!

You forgot the order Saudi Arabia put in for the eurofighter.

As far as selling them our planes goes. We do it because we control their capabilities, keep them dependent on us for support and parts, and we can mothball their air force by cutting off said support. Every country we sell weapons to we own.

This time our enemy is far less capable but has the backing of two members of the UN security council. While we could wash them away I see a staring match coming. Iran with Chinese and Russian hands on their shoulders while we can act as if we aren’t doing a thing. What? Us sabotage? Never.

Limerick, the Saudi’s have a decent air force, they fly F-15’s, even shot down a few Iraqi MiGs during Desert Storm. I can see why we’d sell F-15’s to Japan, but I never understood selling Eagles to Saudi Arabia. If they turned on us, they have our best planes to fight us with, just like when the Iranian air force, with it’s F-14 Tomcats, came under controllah of the ayatollah in 1979. It’s a good thing the F-22 is now operational.

But soon we’re gonna sell F-35’s to Turkey! They may be NATO and they may march to protest islamic radicals, but they might also turn on us in the name allah at any moment, just like Iran, or one of their pilots might turn jihadi and fly his invisible plane into a head on with Air Force One. I hope we have some sort if tracking device in these planes.

Nope… I’m a strong proponent of the punishment RAID!!!

If they want to go medieval? Let’s oblige them.

F-22s with precision guided munitions…

Armored Columns…

You don’t bother taking and holding ground, you destroy their army… their infrastructure… then leave.

They mess with us again? We do it again!!!

Eventualy the POPULACE of those countries will get the hint.

What I want to know is why we don’t seem to have used special ops to send Syria a serious message, which would be almost without risk — unlike this stuff. Syria isn’t doing as much damage as Iran, but if we could get Nancy Pelosi’s buddy to back off, it would be a real benefit.

You Air Force vets……..how is the Saudi Air Force anyway? Like to know what to expect from these fellas if Iran gets froggy.

NO doubt another “leak” to discredit the administration…

After all… covert ops are sooooo… icky…. cause your supposed to tell your enemy all about your plans… Like when we are going to pull out of Iraq!!! or redeploying to Guam… or whatever…

I mean… we have to play by the rules!!! Even if they don’t… it wouldn’t be huggy feely nice otherwise…

The first time I heard the idea of targeting Iran’s petroleum sector was from Newt a few months ago.

Democrats will be screaming about the new Bush War in 3, …

Of course we’re doing ops against the Iranians. Will these idiots STFU already! We can watch it in 10 years on the history channel.

It’d be interesting to see a propaganda campaign against the Iranian Mullahs by denigrating them as Arab oppressors of the great Persian people.

We’ve got to get a Shiite mullah to have a vision that the 12th Imam is coming to Earth on the next comet and to meet him you have to put on Addidas sneakers and do whatever those losers from California did to meet him.

What’s funny is that Iran probably though that British boat they captured was part of this op, when all they got was a bunch of Mr. Beans.

the way it is shaping up here it won’t be WW IV, it will be Jonestown.

When the traitorous dems claim we are not working with countries in the region, I always scream at the TV that just because the administration doesn’t plaster it all over the MSM, doesn’t mean they aren’t working with other countries!

This covert ops stuff is the way we are working with the countries in the region. We are not isolated and the libs couldn’t care less what the truth is. Why let the truth stand in the way of lying your way into the white house?

So I wonder which sheik’s assassination will trigger WWIV like Archduke Ferdinand’s did for WWI.

And as it gets slashed all over Atlantic, NYT and CNN everyone packs up and goes home. Especially when BaBaRa and Williams shove a mic in some prince’s face and ask them why they are supplying and paying for ‘terrorists’.

I hope if we’re working with whackjob radicals we’re going to seed them with agents for intel and keep track of them so we can kill them if needed so they they don’t go al-Qaeda on us. I’m fine with trying to destabilize Iran’s regime, but lets not forget what happened when we didn’t keep tabs on our shady clients last time.
