1. The Israeli Defense Ministry CONFIRMS

The Israeli Defense Ministry, in cooperation with the US, launched and successfully completed a launch and radar tracking of a Sparrow target missile

3. So that's what the Russians saw

I wondered if it was true or just another bit of FUD. Exceptionally poor timing on the Israelis part.

25. Interesting isn't it?

The first folks to report it were the Russians, which means they have really streamlined their military reporting structure. It also means that they have radar cover the area, probably from all those ships their navy has put there that nobody is worried about being in the region.

4. Really ??? "STUPID FUCKS" ???

Pray tell.... why are they "STUPID FUCKS" ?

[Ichingcarpenter]

5. I can't explain that escalating a situation is a bad idea to you?

Israel
STUPID FUCKS

[jessie04]

9. Hold on....Israel's next door neighbor ,Syria, is using chemical weapons against their own people..

have threatened Israel with attacks ........and Israel is escalating the situation ??

please help me to understand your logic.

[Scootaloo]

13. As much as a loathe to, I have to agree wih Jessie04 on this

It makes perfect sense for Israel to make sure their defenses are in working order, seeing as how the Us is about to create a situation that could very well result in a lot of dead Israelis if it doesn't

[Ichingcarpenter]

15. Watch the European response to this

It won't be positive to the US or Israel.

17. Escalating?

You mean preparing themselves for Syrian (and possibly Iranian) strikes if the US attacks which have been PROMISED by Syria is now escalating? Should they just stand around with their thumbs up their asses and wait for the scuds to start falling? Would that satisfy you? And the irony of you calling anyone stupid fucks is just too delicious.

[Lee-Lee]

6. So it sounds like they tested their anti missle defenses

I fail to see how testing defense systems escalates anything- if anything it shows they work and makes someone considering an attack think twice.

Can't quite see where this move deserves the label "stupid fucks".

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Well they lied earlier too so I guess that's ok with you too

Israel said it was unaware of any ballistic missile launch being conducted in the eastern Mediterranean.

Stupid fucks

[jessie04]

10. Ohhhh...the Israel/Hitler comparison !!!!!

[leftynyc]

18. What?

Preparing their military for strikes that have been promised to them in retaliation to something the US may do makes them nazis? In what fucking world do you live in?

[jessie04]

24. Its ok now... he deleted it.

sooo much better.

[leftynyc]

26. Either sobered up and

realized how stupid it was or too cowardly to try and defend it. Not impressed either way.

[FarCenter]

11. Joint US-Israeli sabre rattling.

[Ichingcarpenter]

12. US denied it also at first

I think the Israelis asked the US to sign on for legitimacy of might vs right.

Dumb shit move.

I guess it only cost a few millions of taxpayers money.

[FarCenter]

14. I think that they both denied it at first.

Wonder whether the missile came from a surface vessel or from a sub?

The Pentagon, the UK and French Defense Ministries and the Israel Army command have all told RIA Novosti they have no information about such launches.

16. Once again CREDIBILITY is at stake

A pre warning of a test is normal and then own up to it.

[backwoodsbob]

19. Syria is using chemical weapons against it's own people

but Israel is the problem?

WOW

[leftynyc]

22. Do you believe this crap?

At least the person who decided the Israeli's preparing for a strike makes them just as bad as the nazis had the brains to self delete.

[FarCenter]

23. Its not OUR problem, just like tribe A hacking apart tribe B with machetes in the Congo isn't ours

[workinclasszero]

20. We haven't even fired off our tomahawks yet

and its already escalating!

Hey what could possibly go wrong eh?

The MIC is salivating over the billions(trillions?) of dollars its about to make as the whole middle east goes to hell.

[Junkdrawer]

21. So, during a tense armed confrontation, someone who wants to see gunfire...

"innocently" tosses in a few fire crackers.

And you have a problem with that?
