Give it to them for free.

[Hazcat]

Clean the windows and check the oil, sir?

Heck yes, sell it to them at a discount!

[Steely Tom]

75MM gallons? They'll go through that pretty fast, I'd guess.

Oh, goody, now we get to see which Congresscritters put foot in mouth every time the doodoo hits the fan.

[Paul Ross]

I have a feeling that aviation fuel could get extremely tight in the near future. For our own military too. Particularly if the Straits of Hormuz becomes a dead-end for Mideast oil shipments...

[JimRed]

A U.S. tanker offloading fuel at an Israeli port would be a prime target, and an attack on it would surely draw us into the fighting.

[griffin]

Yep! We can make a 'drop' shipment over the friendly skys of Iraq directly into F15 tanks....if the Israelis happen to be in the neighborhood!

[ChadGore]

Kuwait told the US way back in 2003 that if we do topple Saddam that our military would be guaranteed free gas, an agreement that is still in place.

I never ran the numbers but, if you add up all of the Tanks, Bombers, Fighters, Humvees, Strikers, for 3 years . . we are talking about a *lot* of fuel.

Now that would be interesting to see some leftist in our Congress try to block this.

$210 million dollars in JP-8 aviation jet fuel...

That's what - about three gallons?

[Snickersnee]

Swap for an equivalent amount of 9mm and 5.56. Good stuff, IDI.

[madison10]

Hmmm...just caught it. Pentagon isn't asking permission, they were just telling Congress that Israel asked. D'oh, I'm slow today.

[UCANSEE2]

Thanks for posting this article.

But everyone is missing the point.

We are supplying them with JP-8.
...(secret info)
...(none of your business)
...(loose lips- you die, she dies, he dies, everybody dies.)
An additive in JP-8 hides the exhaust signature (contrails).

We are not just giving them gas, we are giving them 'the good stuff'.

Party Hardy, IDF!!!

[mware]

I sure wish this sale was not made public.

Might make it difficult for our troops in Iraq.

[MissAmericanPie]

Forget giving them fuel, keep it in our own jets and go bomb Iran, Syria, Lebanon, N. Korea, and the Gaza Strip, back to the stone age, then dare anyone to say anything about it.
