Re: Did the US Nuke Syria?
[ QUOTE ]
Why exactly would a US strike require Israeli F-15/F-16 CAP? If you were a USAF officer, why would you put the lives of your men in the hands of the Israeli pilots when US F-22 pilots are more than capable of providing support?

Assuming the commander has the ability to make that kind of call, it is reasonable.
I see a number of possible scenarios:
1- Isreali's act alone and use a nuke.
2 -Isreali's and US act and use a nuke.
3- Isrealis act alone and use a MOAB.
4 - Isrealis act with US and use a MOAB.
5 - US acts alone and uses nuke/MOAB and blame Isreali's
6 - Isrealis have acted unilaterally and are trying to drag the US in through the "leak" story.
I'm really leaning toward an all Isreali action using a small tactical nuke or a MOAB/trying to pull the US into it.
