I agree, and that's just the technical aspects. What, are we going to just ignore the heavily-laden Israeli bombers coming across denied airspace, right over the top of our guys? Doubt it.
Diplomatically, this is about as tough a problem as even getting the ordnance to the right spot and dealing an effective hit. As a matter o fact, given the diplomat's job and the mission planner's, I think I'd rather have the latter; not nearly as much overtime involved.
