The Long Arm of the IDF

Bombs away:

Israel wants to start buying radar-evading Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets as soon as 2011, with delivery likely about two years later, a U.S. F-35 program official said on Wednesday.

The interest in acquiring an initial batch of up to 25 F-35s dovetails with Israeli fears that Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb and could have it as soon as 2010, sooner than predicted by the United States.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in Washington on Tuesday, at the start of a three-day visit to the United States, that the Iranian nuclear program must be stopped by "all possible means".

Get 'em, boys! The good ol' IDF is always up for a pre-emptive strike, even if our own government is tied down in one of our all-too-frequent bouts of heel-dragging in the face of an obvious threat. The best defense is a good offense, and all that.

One previously intact Iranian nuclear weapons plant, coming right up!
