Israeli intelligence Mountainguy Friday #3

Is this the same Israeli intelligence WSHazel Friday #19

And the same US intelligence that Mountainguy Friday #23

Whatabout rebuttal WSHazel Friday #34

Lol Mountainguy Friday #36

Heehee. I think he got you with the meth heads on kites rejoinder. brush Friday #43

Yup. Even Jordan is on Team Israel Arazi Friday #57

If I had ForgedCrank Friday #62

Agreed. I'm more concerned with the Egyptian "street" erupting Arazi Friday #63

There's always someone next in line in any hierachy. And Israel is just the US's attack dog in ME,has been for decades. brush Friday #44

Of course there's always someone next in line, MarineCombatEngineer Friday #48

It may be far fetched to our western thinking, MarineCombatEngineer Friday #53

Possible, but it's quite possible they're familiar with the concept of mutually assured destruction. brush Friday #58
