Israel 'request' for US arms, air corridor to attack Iran ... is turned down

Pat Lang comments:
"Needless to say, this reponse came from the military and Gates. Cheney must be enraged by his lack of control over this.
Until the Russian intervention in Gerogia, the Israelis had been trying to devise an alternative to an Iraq route. The alternative was to use Georgian airfields as staging points. They were undeterred in this scheme by the prospect of overflying SE Turkey to get to Georgia. The Russians have frightened them out of that idea. Even the Likud knows that Russia is more important than Georgia, or Iran..."
