Sadly I may have been several weeks out because of the US administration's cowardice in supporting Israel. The use of B2 launched (from the US) WILL happen in the next few weeks, followed by immediate Israeli air strikes using Iraqi airspace after the US has officially withdrawn by Xmas 2011.
The only part of that post that makes any sense is the IAF abilit to fly through Iraqi airspace with relative impunity once the USAF withdraws from its control of Iraqi air space.

Not sure what US and Iraqi accords has been agreed regarding sharing info on airspace monitoring.

I am not party to the signed agreement, nor the details staffed out, but I have my doubts that, since a few thousand "advisors" remain to "help" in a diplomatic role, the airspace monitoring functions will go completely black.

That said, the IAF can probably blaze through Iraqi airspace if they'd like to, in January. That does not mean they will.

The rest of your estimation doesn't fit very well, however ...
