I just thought this article was interesting, but I do not believe we would dare shoot down Israeli bombers. also

If a Russian jet is shot down because of these idiots I'm going to be fucking pissed, especially if it is shot down by the US. Given the recent activity over restricted airspace I wonder when Israel is planning to strike.

Well Israel is known to disguise , strike and blame other countries...they did it to the USS Liberty and also another time..blamed it on Egypt to get us to strike Egypt. the Mossad's motto "Through Deception we shall Wage War". Tones

Yeah they did it to the Liberty at the command of the U.S. president.

p.s., this above link has some rather nasty ads (beware)

but this snippet I don't understand:

The crucial question emerges from the geography. It will be a stretch for Israeli warplanes to reach the putative targets in Iran. And they will almost certainly have to fly through U.S.-controlled airspace over Iraq to do so, and may even have to rescue pilots from damaged planes who parachute down into Iraq.

Given the risks and likely consequences of an Israel strike, would the United States warn Israel to abort the mission? If the Israelis called the American bluff and went ahead, would Gates and Mullen order U.S. warplanes to shoot them down, knowing that failure to do so would make the United States in the eyes of the world an accessory of the attack?

An irresistible force seems to be building in Israel. The question is whether the United States is prepared to be the immovable object.

Anyone able to explain it in clearer terms?

I believe they are talking about this

One of the first puzzles that new students of philosophy at Oxford University were posed by their tutors was to say what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? The answer, of course, is that the words are wrong. The definitions make no sense. If something is irresistible, then it can move any object. If something is immoveable, then the force can be resisted. But there appears to be a growing prospect of such a contradictory experiment being carried out over the skies of the Middle East in the five dangerous months that remain of the U.S. administration of George W. Bush. Crazy rant B/C the US won't do shit about it and will let them bomb Iran. Refer to my link above.

Yeah right. All evidence points to Israel and not a sap like LBJ; though he did give the order to recall air cover.

Why should we stop Israel?

Let them do whatever the hell they want to. We'll just stay out of it.
