Israel's Role in Toppling Saddam
(National Post - Canada) Neill Lochery - Now is not the time to isolate Israel in order to appease the Arab world. On the contrary, as Israeli involvement in any conflict is inevitable, it makes sense for U.S. planners to coordinate planning activities with their Israeli counterparts. The most obvious use of Israel would be in the intelligence field. U.S. over-reliance on intelligence gathered from technical sources such as spy satellites over hard intelligence gathered by agents on the ground remains a key problem. In terms of military operations, Israel could contribute to the widely expected air campaign, and by employing its special forces to destroy Iraqi mobile missile sites on the ground.
