"The Israel Defense Forces and the United States European Command (EUCOM) completed a military headquarters training exercise in Tel Aviv last night. The exercise was part of Juniper Falcon, an ongoing series of training exercises conducted by the U.S. Air Force in Europe and Israel. . .

At the completion of the exercise, both the Israeli and the U.S. sides announced that extreme scenarios were tested that challenged the participating armies to assist each other. The scenarios were set in the present and based on events of the past several years or events that are expected to occur in the near future. The creators of the exercise did not use the names of actual Arab states or existing terror organizations."

Isn't Cheney going to be dropping by Jerusalem in the near future, to discuss, obvioulsy, not going to war with Iran?

1. If Bush and/or Israel attacks Iran

before election day, does this help or hurt McCain?

2. Well, if we're at war, who would the average American want in command?

A neophite Obama, a woman -- God forbid -- or a strong leader like John "I got shot down" McCain?

And, ist that Smedley Butler on your avatar? I just quoted him in a previous post this morning.
