US to Hook Up the Saudi's With Warplanes

Hmm, I wonder if these planes will eventually go up against the Iranian Air Force sometime in the near future.

But the scope and size of the Saudi deal has unnerved Israel and its allies in Congress at a time when U.S.-Israeli relations are particularly unsteady.

Under the proposed sale, the 84 Boeing Co. F-15s for Saudi Arabia will have onboard targeting systems similar to those offered to other foreign governments, officials say. They aren't as technologically advanced as F-15s flown by the U.S. military.

I have a feeling that Israel has nothing to fear from these planes. This is all about a detente with Iran in the fight for Middle East hegemony. Could we see a reprise of an Iran/Russia axis (The Russians sold them advanced anti-aircraft missiles) and a Saudi/US access just like the Cold War?
