Newsweek reports on the recent Israeli Military exercises:

(WASHINGTON) A large Israeli military exercise this month may have been aimed at showing Jerusalem's abilities to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.

In a substantial show of force, Israel sent warplanes and other aircraft on a major exercise in the Eastern Mediterranean early this month, Pentagon officials said Friday.

Israel's military refused to confirm or deny that the maneuvers were practice for a strike in Iran.

FoxNews's Jennifer Griffin also reported on this last night. She pointed out the exercises included mid-air refueling and the flights totaled about 900 miles, which is the distance from Tel-Aviv to the most likely target inside Iran.

Griffin also highlighted the fact that the U.S. has recently sold Israel a number of bunker-buster bombs capable of penetrating 20 feet of concrete and 40 feet of earth, which is significant due o Iran's defensive measure of burying their uranium enrichment facilities under ground.

This may be mostly over before 2009, which would be nice just in case Obama wins the election, and the Dems get control of both houses.

The Left seems to think (at least they at like they think) that the dangers our nation faces will dissipate or disappear once they are in power, as if our enemies will see what nice guys they are and suddenly be okay with things like, say, personal freedom, women's rights, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc.

This is why we need adults in Washington.
