In fact, US made every effort not to make public ANY help from Israel

(among other things) by Israeli made air-launched decoys if there wasn't
a small parachute found in Baghdad with "TAAS Jerusalem" printed on it.
Needless to say, this was only briefly mentioned in the news and never
repeated again.


The procurement of TALD by the US is something that has been admitted
openly for some years (IIRC it was acknowledged as far back as Desert
Storm in 1991) so any claims the US was trying to conceal such a thing
is misguided. As for it's brief mention, why would it merit more?
