So we have a guy, on a rooftop, not 1000 yards away from an airstrike, video taping the EXACT AREA of the strike with the CALMNESS and KNOWLEDGE ( of the exact location ) and im supposed to think that he isnt Mossad?

There is no WAY a Lebanese civilian is filming this "because he got lucky"

Dude doesnt even FLINCH when the first two come whistling in. 2 more after and STILL calm.

Nah brah- thats an Israeli agent ( or Lebanese working for Israel )

no im saying the guy on rooftop is there to video the strike for accuracy and bda. That he works for Israeli intelligence.

There is nothing happening in the prior seconds before the strike - why is he filming that specific area? Not scanning horizon- focused on that one area.

Exactly! All he's missing is a tripod for his cam... not a flinch, gasp or any surprised reaction whatsoever... cool as a cucumber..

While we don't "need" them, having access does make a huge difference in terms of logistics and being able to hit Iran if it comes to that.

That said, unless Iran starts launching nukes, or lobbing more of those ballistic missiles into Israeli cities, I don't see us taking direct militaey action on Iran.

Certainly sanctions and other diplomatic avenues are on the table before we engage in a shooting war with Iran proper.

Edit: And it's a lot more than just hitting Iran.

Logistics isn't issue. The B2's and B52's can easily hit Iran from any base in the U.S. with tanker support that can launch with them. We also have 2 Carrier battle groups within range that have 4 squadrons of fighter/bombers and a squadron of electronic attack 18's each. We don't need the bases in Saudi Arabia.
