Now Jake, certainly you recognize the vast difference between attacking the Osirak reactor and attacking the scud launchers. The Osirak reactor doesn't move, scud launchers do. The Osirak reactor is big, scud launchers are little. The Osirak reactor attack allowed considerable planning time, the scud launcher attacks did not. The Osirak reactor site was infiltrated by Israeli spies, the scud launcher sites probably were not. -- =Jim eggertj@atc.ll.mit.edu (Jim Eggert)
