Obama sending light attack aircraft to Lebanon/Hezbollah
The Obama Report ^ | 2/12/10

Posted on 02/13/2010 11:56:28 PM PST by Frankusa

The United States expressed readiness to provide Lebanon by 2013 with aircraft designed for light attack, the local daily As Safir reported Friday.

The report said the Pentagon has proposed to provide Lebanon with Hawker-Beechcraft AT-6 or Embraer (NYSE:ERJ) Super Tucano planes to improve its capabilities in reconnaissance missions and counter- insurgency operations.

Reconnaissance missions and counter- insurgency operations? Hmmm, what kind of counter insurgency operations are they referring to? Lebanon doesn't need weapons to defend itself against Syria. Lebanon and Syria have been on good terms with each other ever since Barack Obama became President. Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, realized he had no choice but to reconcile with Syria after George W. Bush left the White House and Barack Obama, the new US President, began to forge a new relationship with Syria [Obama is preparing to send an ambassador to Syria for the first time since 2005, when the US withdrew its envoy from Syria following the assassination of Rafic Hariri].

Hezbollah is now officially part of the Lebanese government, and the Lebanese/Hezbollah alliance couldn't be any tighter than it is at the moment. So clearly, these attack aircraft were not intended to be used against Hezbollah.

But of course, Hezbollah could use these aircraft to strengthen its own military/terrorist operations... Hmmm...

Murr met with several U.S. officials including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday, according to As Safir.
Give President Obama credit where credit is due. He is taking full precautionary measures and doing everything within his power to make sure Hezbollah is safe and secure.

Anyone doubt any longer where his sympathies and loyalties lie?

Did you ever read something so incredibly cognitive dissonant that your brain simply refused to accept that it exists, and so you stare at it - literally - unbelievingly?

That happened to me when I read this headline/article.

Do you think American Jews will understand finally that this guy is not a friend of Israel?

Yeah, that is what Hezbollah needs; some spotter aircraft to help in the aiming of their “dumb” rockets...

Those of us with common sense knew from the beginning that Obama was not a friend of Israel, but the far left of the Jewish community gets all the press and is delusional about him

And the vast combat experience of Hezbollah's well-trained corps of pilots combined with the unmatched air-superiority and strike capabilities of the Super Tuacano have will give Lebanon air dominance over the entire Middle East and render Israel's rag-tag air force impotent.

Be afraid, Zionists! Be very afraid.

It's like the Obama Admin. has a big wheel,similar to the TV Show’s The Price is Right,with all negative USA proposals on each number of the wheel.An Obama czar spins the wheel and wherever it lands the Pres. Obama Admin. says lets do it?

When I read some of the Pres. Obama’s decisions I feel like I'm in a dream world that's void of logic!?
