The exercise was tailored to prepare for long-range strikes and focused on air-to-air refuelling and target assessment, Pentagon officials told The New York Times.

The paper reported that more than 100 Israeli jets staged the manoeuvre. It said the aircraft flew more than 1440km, roughly the distance from Israel to Iran's Natanz nuclear-enrichment facility.

No I don't, I just think the Olympics would be a total mess. I wouldn't go near China during the games.

think china would back Iran?

Yes. And the U.S. will back Iraq.
With China and the U.S.'s help, they can have a war until there's nothing left above ground,
while they've pumped out everything in-ground to pay for it.

here's how it'll all go down.
1. Israel will attack Iran because they are paranoid
2. us will help
3. Iran will be sent back to the stone age
4. china gets pissed because they have oil interests in Iran
5. china cancels Olympics
6. us and EU put embargo's on china until they stop being a-holes
7. china gets even more mad, take Alaska by force.
8. china has woken up the giant, there last big mistake as a country
9. US and EU simultaneously invade china, using non nuclear force
10. china fights back with nukes (which are of course blow out of the sky by the us' air born laser), all china's nuclear facilities cease to exist
11. since north Korea hates china and the us, they take the chance to get in on all the fun.
12. bush is elected to a 3rd term because of the crisis
13. North Korea is taken over, all its nuclear facilities destroyed with conventional force
14. We give north Korea to the south Koreans
15. china loses, despite heavy allied casualties
16. we give china to the Tibetans, for payback
17. The world is once again saved by America and the other anglo-saxan beacons of light in a dark and troubled world (yes i stole that from the Sean hanity show, so what ) cue Team America: World Police theme song
