I will continue my party platform series and some more posts about Senator McCain and his positions on various issues, but there is some very important events taking place in Israel right now. When I saw this, I knew I needed to post it. You definitely will not hear this on any of the mainstream media outlets in the U.S
This is an article from the Israel News Service’s ARUTZ SHEVA. This should concern every single American as anytime we sell out Israel, there is always a very quick negative impact on the United States. It is vitally important that as many Americans as possible know about this. Here is the article:
US Won't Help Israel Attack Iran
by Ze'ev Ben-Yechiel
“Israel may soon be left with no realistic option to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities and no time to find another solution. The United States has turned down Israeli requests for military assistance in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities. This will hamper the tiny Jewish state in facing off alone against the much larger Islamic Republic which is equipped with some of the latest military technology from Russia. As compensation, the U.S. has agreed to bolster Israel’s missile defense system.”
“Israel would not be allowed to refuel its military planes in Iraq, or even use Iraqi airspace for a flyover on the way to Iran. Even if Israeli jets were to reach Iran, they might not be able to carry powerful enough bombs to do the job. The U.S. has refused to supply Israel with equipment such as bunker-buster bombs critical in destroying heavily fortified nuclear installations.”
“Israeli officials have been in talks with their American counterparts for several months over specific requests for military assistance, and U.S.reticence over an Israeli strike hasled American military and diplomatic officials to decide against supporting what they see as Israel’s growing commitment to an attack on Iran.”
“Among the requests most critical for a successful Israeli solo strike on Iran is the ability to use Iraqi air fields as a refueling point for Israel’s fighter-bomber fleet that would be used in the attack.”
“The dropping of guided bombs on targets as small and sensitive as a nuclear reactor requires the precision and agility that could be likely achieved only by a very low-altitude release.”
“The distance between Israel and Iran’s nuclear reactor at Bushehr is over 800 miles. A large bomber aircraft would have the fuel range for such a non-stop round-trip flight from Israel. However, the necessity of a low-altitude approach to the target, combined with the heavier aircraft’s low speed and maneuverability and lack of sufficient armaments such as rockets or cannon, would render it extremely vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire or attacking Iranian jets. Last December, Russia installed one of its latest anti-aircraft missile networks in the hostile Islamic Republic.”
“Such operations are therefore usually performed with supersonic fighter-bomber aircraft, such as theF-15s and F-16s
used in the 1981 bombing of Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor and last year’s bombing of the nascent Syrian reactors. However, these aircraft do not have the fuel range to safely make a trip to Iran and back without refueling. Unless the Israeli planes would be able to refuel somewhere along the way – American-occupied Iraq being the only viable choice – a bombing run on Iran would likely become a suicide mission.”(My commentary here: Because we won’t even allow Israeli planes to pass through Iraq or use landing fields in Iraq, I think there is a very good likelihood that many Israeli pilots would die unnecessarily).
