IMRA ^ | 6/1/2009 | staff

WASHINGTON - The Obama administration has blocked Israel's request for advanced U.S.-origin attack helicopters.

Government sources said the administration has held up Israel's request for the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter. The sources said the request was undergoing an interagency review to determine whether additional Longbow helicopters would threaten Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.

No, I went away for a while in ~2001. Some all-consuming difficulties took over. Things have been quieter of late.

Actually they don’t. They don’t even need us.

After spending 3 months in Israel living and working with Israelis, I'd disagree with this statement. And no I'm not Jewish.

Half of American voters decided to cut their own throats in November, 2008. Turning against Israel will be the final slice.

All that I can say about this traitorous pretender is “FUBO!”

He fawns on and lends support to our enemies, while dissing and hurting our friends and allies. Carter revisited, but worse and with higher stakes (i.e. we’re more vulnerable).

To demand a halt to ANY construction in Jewish towns located on land that was acquired in a defensive war, including construction related to natural population growth is positively pharaoh-like; to deny Israel the ability to buy 6 more helicopters of a type they already own (and from which our economy would benefit) on the basis that they would be used against civilians is quite simply a load of crap. When has Israel EVER done so?

Keep going, Maobama, keep helping our enemies and hurting our friends - it’ll help with your lifelong dream of destroying the US. Just don’t be surprised when the American public kicks your lying arse out of DC in 3 years.

God is on the side of those who obey his word.

Well, given present realities, in the overall scheme of things how do you think this thing will play itself out?

It’s gonna be LOADS of fun when Israel replaces its American alliance with India and China. People simply have no idea how much Israeli intelligence has helped us nab Islamic terrorists who were planning attacks on American soil (including the attack on the Brooklyn subway station that was stopped only an hour beforehand). Obama is going to get thousands killed in his quest to submit to Islam.

If Israel is so bad-ass, why do they need our hardware?

Israel has developed, on its own, perhaps the finest missile defense technology in the world. they just sold $5 billion worth of it to India.

He’s a Muslim and anyone that hasn’t figured that out yet needs to get a brain.

I’d suggest they throw their own rocks and not rely on American ones.
