Training for the Next War?
By P. David Hornik
FrontPageMagazine.com | June 13, 2007
The more casual news reports, like those by the Jerusalem Post and
Reuters on Monday, speak of "one-day" joint training exercises between
the Israeli air force and U.S. pilots on Sunday. The Post cites
Israeli-army sources "dismiss[ing] speculation that the drills were
connected to an attack on Iran." Reuters quotes an Israeli military
spokeswoman saying the exercise was "part of a multi-year working plan
involving joint flights for the purpose of mutual learning," as well
as an Israeli military source claiming the exercises were "unconnected
to the current situation in the country."
The exercises, in any case, sparked interest and were reported in Arab
media. They also manifest the fact that, despite reported Bush-
administration disgruntlement with Israeli military capabilities after
the summer 2006 war in Lebanon, U.S.-Israeli military cooperation
continues at a high level.
Also on Monday all the Israeli outlets reported the successful launch
of Israel's Ofek-7 military spy satellite, a relief after its
predecessor, Ofek-6, crashed into the Mediterranean shortly after
launch in September 2004-and with the aging Ofek-5 already circling
the earth for almost five years. The Ofek-7 is said to give Israel
unprecedented capabilities and the Jerusalem Post says its "elliptical
orbit reportedly takes it over Iran, Iraq and Syria every 90 minutes."
One doesn't have to be a conspiracy-monger to wonder if there's some
connection between the U.S.-Israeli air drills and the Ofek-7's
launch. It took, however, the Israeli scoop site DEBKAfile, which
purports to have inside security information and not infrequently
turns out to be right, to connect these dots in a single article.
"DEBKAfile's military sources report," the article says, "that the
[Ofek-7] launching was part of a seven-day US-Israeli air exercise
taking place this week in the Negev [desert] which, though presented
officially as a routine practice, reflects wide expectations of a
Middle East war this summer."
So mainstream outlets have a one-day joint air force exercise on
Sunday, with denials that they meant anything in particular, and an
unconnected satellite launch on Monday. Debka has a seven-day exercise
with the satellite launch not just connected but "part of" it, all
"reflect[ing] wide expectations" of an imminent Middle East war.

I think he was in re-hab for a while.
Drunken late-night, crank calls finally brought him
down.
