3 Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran

Now this is interesting.
From Haaretz:

"Three Arab states in the Persian Gulf would be willing to allow the Israel Air force to enter their airspace in order to reach Iran in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyasa reported on Sunday.

According to the report, a diplomat from one of the gulf states visiting Washington on Saturday said the three states, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, have told the United States that they would not object to Israel using their airspace, despite their fear of an Iranian response." "Al-Siyasa further reported that NATO leaders are urging Turkey to open its airspace for an Attack on Iran as well and to also open its airports and borders in case of a ground attack.

According to a British diplomat who spoke to an Al-Siyasa correspondent, Turkey will not repeat the mistake it made in 2003, when it refused to open its airspace to U.S. Air Force overflights en route to attacking Iraq."

2 Although this is encouraging, the location of these countries relative to Israel and Iran makes this more of a symbolic offer. It would be a different story if they were to allow IDF to use their aerodromes not just their airspace.

The three Arab countries which you really want to make such an offer are Jordan, Iraq and possibly Kuwait.

3 By the way is that "Kafir" in the Afrikaans' sense?

4 It's Kafir in the Arabic word for "infidel" sense.

And I view this as slightly more than symbolic, as it becomes increasingly clear that Sunni nations are putting the screws to Tehran.
Any time a gulf nation will cooperate with Israel, even at America's behest, is worth noting.

5 Kafir,
FYI, I believe the Arabic one is "Ka'fer"

9 Kafir,
I'm terribly sorry if I came across as pedantic :-)
It's just that I understand a bit of  Arabic language and phonetics.

Thanks Vinnie :-)

Cheers

10 I do believe the South African sense is "kaffir."

They also like to say "bleck".

11 well that was a very generous offer for those 3 states. Now all israel has to do is find someway to go the 1000km to Kuwait. My guess is that the Saudis will not be permitting any overflight of Mecca.

GO ISRAEL. 

We should at the very least provide them with a fighter escort and refueling.

15 Vicious self interest is enough for even some of the islamopithecines to let the dirty Joos do the heavy lifting for them. It's no accident that these three countries are among the best educated in the wog world. Not that that's saying much. The tards don't want to be dominated by the "ayatollah." That's all.


John Lyin is shitting in his pants right now. His masters will be dead and gone before 2009 rears its head.


I've been predicting this since the invasion of Afghanistan. The wheels are in motion. Even the dullards in Congress, the "news" media and the public at large are starting to realize it. The mullah monkeys know. That's why they're striving in vain to achieve nuclear weapons capability. They STUPIDLY think that a puny Iranain bomb will grant them immunity.



Bwah, Ha, Haa! I've been waiting nearly thirty years for this. Time to pay the piper, mullah bitches.
