U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis
By DAVID S. CLOUD and HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON, July 21 — The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.
The munitions that the United States is sending to Israel are part of a multimillion-dollar arms sale package approved last year that Israel is able to draw on as needed, the officials said. But Israel’s request for expedited delivery of the satellite and laser-guided bombs was described as unusual by some military officers, and as an indication that Israel still had a long list of targets in Lebanon to strike.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that she would head to Israel on Sunday at the beginning of a round of Middle Eastern diplomacy. The original plan was to include a stop to Cairo in her travels, but she did not announce any stops in Arab capitals. ............

Kind of difficult to broker peace when you are handing ammo to one of the sides.
Yeah, I'm beyond too. So frustrated that it's all happening and no one, absolutely no one is speaking for us. It's like being in a nightmare with no way to wake up.
Thanks for posting this, did the same back at home. Not to be impolite, PoP, but no one is EVER going to speak for us--we have to do it ourselves! We're going to have to just to prevent more 911s and worse! And if there's any truth to the "karma" idea, then we've got a lot more in store for us...if we don't shape up.
p o p, i shouldn't have been surprised when i read that story, but i was. who do we think we are? we should be FIGHTING for PEACE not handing weapons out
gitm, oh that is one thing i DO hope for KARMA. in the meantime, i pray for peace AND understanding AND justice
glenda, i keep telling myself november is right around the corner........
rose, I am so sickened by this situation that I am almost speechless ... gotta expedite the delivery of death ... mostly to civilians ... mostly to children ... hey ... there are several murderers hiding in the bronx, I hear ... shouldn't well drop leaflets and then bomb the shit out of the borough ... waste a few kids running away from the "targets" while we're at it ... wtf is going on? bushmerika and israel ... the new nazis
mr shock, i know, i know. well i think the point is people like us DON'T know, we DON'T get it. sure we have it within us to get mad, perhaps even take a swing at someone (or not) BUT to drop bombs on people, to shoot babies? no, i don't think that is us at all
