#1 Maybe Condoleezza Rice could deliver the Bunker Busters to the Israelis on her next peace mission to the Middle East.

#2 Please redirect ALL US government and commercial flights from Ireland. They can surely replace the traffic with immigrant flights from muzzieland.

The US must learn to differentiate friends, neutrals, rivals and enemies, and treat them accordingly. Let us not waste any more affection or money on Blarney: Since joining the Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations in 2001, Rothman has helped secure $100 million in foreign aid for Ireland.

#3 It's the press making a story and politicians talking out their asses. The SNP are full blown communists for all I can tell and your typical leftist jew haters. The Liberal Democrats follow closely behind.

Someone will take the planes and Prestwick is licensed for hazardous material cargoes. They are happy to have the business if Ireland isn't.

Keep your eye on the jew hate and remember it.

#4 Seems to me that in flight refueling is the logical answer: no bombs on any foreign soil, just some KC-135s or KC-10s topping off and departing for parts unknown. Redevous w/ the cargo jets and all is well.

#5 In '73, no NATO country expect Portugal (I think) would even allow the US planes resupplying Israel in their respective air space.

#6 And the Portuguese space used was the Azores.

#7 The Irish were probably already "bombed" on Guinness.

#8 "Hazardous Material?"
Bullshit, Military Bombs are safer than dirt untill they want them to go boom.

#9 And used it was. Tenfre was the busiest cargo airport in the world during NIckel Grass.
