Well, he has to lie. The Israelis won’t give him any stories, and his editors insist on something resembling productivity … hey, it happens at the New York Times, too.

A good journalist doesn’t need facts! ‘False but accurate’ was good enough for Dan Rather, wasn’t it?

See my update. One of the authors is the guy who lies regularly about Israel.

I think this all worked as a result of the War last summer. If there really was anything to have worked as reported by all these reports. Gee, golly, it is nice that the Turks were involved. That is, if there was anything for them to have been involved in.

By the way, was Bam ever rebuilt? What kind of country does a Bam happen in?

Not ours! We have so much, and we use, thank G-d, far more often than not for the good.

“Were American pilots involved? Or is Israel simply sharing all the intel?”

I will defer to John’s experience here. I am wondering how the Israelis got the ground team in place. Perhaps parachute from a bogus civillian flight. If I were IDF, I don’t think I would tell Americans what I was up to. Security had to be very tight.

I was in the Air Force. American pilots wouldn’t be involved in the flying at all. We sometimes have exchanges with various countries and do joint exercises, but actual combat would be completely out unless it were a major war.

That being said, intel-sharing is a distinct possibility.
