'Saudi airspace open for Iran attack'
Saudi Arabia will allow Israeli jets to use its airspace to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities reported The Times of London on Saturday.

The report cited a US defense source as saying the Saudis have already done tests to ensure no jet is shot down in the event of an Israeli attack. The source added that the US State Department is aware of the action and agrees with it.

A Saudi government source confirmed that a blind eye would be turned to Israeli jets attacking Iran, according to the report.

An Israeli attempt to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities would target uranium enrichment facilities at Qom and Natanz as well as a heavy water reactor at Arak and a gas storage development at Isfahan.

1. it`s from murdoch`s rag ...the times.
somehow the writer contacted a source from all these nations and confirmed that this is what and will happen....ya right.

it was pointed out yesterday that israel does`t have long range bombers. also discounts the fact that iran has anti aircraft defenses and instillations that require nuclear devices to destroy them.

5. Quite apart from the fact
that a nuke wouldn't take out their anti aircraft installations in one go - they use good ol' fashioned Russian valve/tube technology unaffected by radiation ...not solid state which is.

3. This ought to settle things down in the Mideast.
What could possibly go wrong with this plan, other than WWIII?
