"Pentagon representatives also were present"
WAR COMING SOON, readers. I'm sure the plans are well along and have been for a long time.
"Israel tests system to stop attack by missiles" by Matti Friedman, Associated Press | April 8, 2009
JERUSALEM - Israel successfully tested an antimissile system designed to protect the country against Iranian attack, the Defense Ministry said, perfecting technology developed in response to failures of similar systems during the 1991 Gulf War.
Of course, YOU PAID FOR IT ALL, American taxpayer!
The intercept of a dummy missile was the 17th test of the Arrow system, a US-Israeli joint venture. Israeli defense officials said the interceptor was an upgraded Arrow II, designed to counter Iran's Shahab ballistic missile.
Israel has identified Iran as its biggest threat, citing the country's nuclear program and its development of long-range ballistic missiles. Those fears have been compounded by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's repeated calls for the destruction of the Jewish state.
Yeah, except HE DIDN'T SAY THAT!!!!
Given that the Zionist AmeriKan MSM PERSISTS in its DISTORTIONS, MISTRANSLATIONS, and LIES, I can NO LONGER BELIEVE THEM about ANYTHING regarding Iran because I know they are simply PROMOTING the NEXT USraeli WAR!!!!!!
Israel believes Iran is developing nuclear weapons that could pose a threat to its existence. Iran denies that and says its nuclear work is for peaceful purposes such as energy production. Israel has threatened military action, and Iran has said it would strike back, warning last month that Israel's own nuclear facilities were within missile range.
Iran's Shahab-3 missiles have a range of up to 1,250 miles, putting Israel well within striking distance. Iranian officials were not available for comment on the Israeli test.
In a statement, the Defense Ministry said the interceptor shot down "a missile simulating a ballistic threat in especially challenging conditions." It called the test "an important step in the development program and the development of operational abilities to counter the growing threat of ballistic missiles in the region."
Defense Minister Ehud Barak watched yesterday's intercept from a military helicopter, the ministry said. According to the Israeli Embassy in Washington, Pentagon representatives also were present. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has made the Iranian threat a top priority of his administration, congratulated defense officials for the successful test. "While we are for peace, we will know how to defend ourselves," he said.
That LAST STATEMENT MAKES me SO ILL!!!!
Bibi, you are about anything but!!!!!

In an interview yesterday with CNN, Vice President Joe Biden was asked how worried he is that Israel, under Netanyahu, would launch a strike to take out Iran's nuclear facilities.
"I don't believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu would do that," Biden said. "I think he would be ill-advised to do that. And so my level of concern is no different than it was a year ago."
What makes you so sure, Joe, because I'm not buying it!
So WE GONNA DO IT FOR 'EM because they are BLACKMAILING the WEST?
The Arrow project is being developed by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. and Chicago-based
How much more and why the vagueness?
Oh, yeah, ALL YOUR TAX DOLLARS, America (plus your kids will also die for Israel's wars)!
It was spurred largely by the failure of the US military's Patriot missiles to intercept Iraqi Scud rockets that struck Israel in the 1991 Gulf War. Several batteries of Arrow missiles are already operational. But Israel has been working to perfect the system to deal with increasingly complicated threats, such as missiles that strike at extremely high speeds from high altitudes and could split apart as they approach their targets.
In November, Iran successfully test-fired the Sajjil, a solid fuel, high-speed missile with a range of 1,250 miles. Solid fuel is considered a significant breakthrough because it increases accuracy.

Message to Israel: QUIT F***ING with and WARRING ON other people and you WON'T HAVE TO WORRY!!!!
Iran is NOT ATTACKING ANYONE, and if they are so accused I will be SMELLING a HUGE FALSE-FLAG OP because ONE QUESTION will be paramount:
CUI BONO!?
It WON'T be the IRANIANS; however, as we saw with 9/11....
On the day of the 9-11 attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked what the attacks would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was:
"It's very good…….Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)."
"Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel"
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
CUI BONO again, readers?
