Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (11)
Chapter 3 Another enemy of the pilot (2/3)
The
mission of sortie by jet fighters has decreased gradually. They have bombed the
domestic Gaza Strip only. A rare chance to bomb outside Israel was the Iraq War
in 2003. The Israeli government and its military have asked the United States
to participate in the war. The then-Bush Republican government was a strong
pro-Israel. But the President indirectly declined Israel's offer taking world
public opinion into consideration. Shortly after the war began, Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein provoked Israel. He shot a Scud missile into Israel. Iraqi
missiles landed on the occupied West Bank without remarkable damage. But tiny
damage had nothing to do with Israel. The way of Israeli is to hit the enemy
thoroughly as long as there is an excuse. The Air Force was immediately ready
for a counter attack. Fighter pilots stood by to attack Baghdad.
But
again, the United States did not allow Israel to counterattack. If Israel had participated
in the war, U.S. would receive a backlash from Islamic countries. Pakistan have
joined the alliance forces under the justice of liberation of Iraq from a dictator.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have allowed alliance force to pass through their own soil
in the same reason.
Israeli
Air Force pilots watched the live broadcast of the air raid at Baghdad by CNN
television. CNN repeatedly aired the scene that fighter jets slammed straight
into the target and launched missiles. Missiles bombed the target exactly. That
was a real war but looked like a video game. No TV audience felt pain at all
except the citizens in Baghdad.
