Israel conducts “historical” parachute operation
Sareena sends us a link to a report from Israel Defense which describes an Israeli parachute exercise as an historical event;
The Paratroop brigade carried out one of the largest exercises in the unit’s history last night. All the unit’s department and squadron commanders took part in the exercise in Israel’s south.
During the exercise, the forces simulated the massive parachuting of nearly a thousand soldiers—one of the largest exercises in the brigade’s history.
Last month, Col. Amir Baram, the Paratroop brigade commander, told newspaper “Israel Hayom” that “From our perspective, this is the last training before war. This is our premise given the situation in the region, and particularly given the situation in the Gaza Strip.”
I guess one could reasonably assume this is a threat to Palestinians living in Gaza, or an attempt to get them to look up for a threat that won’t actually come from the sky.

Honestly, I wouldn’t count this out as a threat to Iran as well, given how they have threated military action as an intervention if Iran doesn’t halt it’s nuclear missle program.
not to put too fine a point on it but Airborne ops are purely offensive. Israel has, for the majority of its existence been primarily defensive.
The time is near. Israel speaks plainly and Iran speaks in terms of rhetoric. Iran is about to recieve a well deserved good ole’ Israel style beatdown (with the support of other like minded nations). It is time to assist the good Persian people of Iran in order to preserve peace in the Middle East.
Problem is, Master Chief, shit like that would 1–play into the Iranian’s hands, 2–only lead to world wide condemnation of Israel (and us), 3–no way in fucking hell this SCOAMF is going to stick his head out one micrometer for an ally, but he’ll bend over and spread his ass cheeks wide for every two-bit tyrant on the planet.
Yeah, and a little question to my liberal “friends”–how much are we liked and respected these days, fuckers? Seems to me that’s what you told me would happen when Teh Wun ascended the throne.
Hey Sparky, don’t sugarcoat it. I am with you on this one but SCOAMF??? Maybe Socialist, Communist, Opportunistic, Ass-wipe MoFo?
I see Sparky is also an Ace of Spades reader. SCOAMF: Stuttering Clusterfuck Of A Miserable Failure.
CS–I’m seeing bumper stickers up here with SCOAMF and the O is the Obama logo.
This in a state where Obumbles won by 15 points. Ain’t gonna happen this time.
Sparky, I haven’t seen those yet, I’ll have to look for them…I first ran across the acronym over at Ace’s blog.
CS, thanks for the illumination. Gotta remember that one.
Iran Threatens U.S., Persian Gulf Cities with Missile Attacks

Back in ’03ish, I went to Israel to help train them up on M4s and American tactics. It was the best program I ever volunteered for. I can’t talk about most of what happened in the training field, but I can say that a group of twenty women (and one American trainer) can kick some serious ass and have better marksmanship than most American Infantry platoons.
People don’t realize exactly how blood thirsty their soldiers can be. There was a nineteen year old girl, a sniper, who told me she had a confirmed kill count of over seventy.
How many of our snipers can claim that at nineteen years old?
Sparky, you forgot one thing: the typical Dummocrat voter doesn’t read bumper stickers, because he or she is either fictional or dead.
Some of my favorite bumper stickers:
Tea Parties are for little girls with imaginary friends.
2012 My President Killed Osama Bin Laden. How about yours?
Voting is like driving a car.
Choose (R) to move backwards.
Choose (D) to move forwards.

I’d vote for a Republican, but I’m allergic to nuts.

“I’d vote for a Republican, but I’m allergic to nuts.”
That explains why you don’t have any.
