Is Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in town to get some Tomahawk cruise missiles to use in a strike against Iran? Dan Williams at Reuters is all over it:

Israel has speeded up efforts to develop long-range cruise missiles of a type that could be used should the Jewish state try to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities, security sources said on Tuesday…. Israeli defence analyst Alon Ben-David suggested the United States might end up supplying the Tomahawks in order to scotch Israel’s rival cruise missile programme.

A confidential source tells Reuters:

It (Tomahawk) was requested in the past. I believe it will be requested again, especially in light of the kind of threats Israel is facing in the future.”
