Obama Reportedly Blocks Israel Missile Shipment
Israel National News ^ | 8-14-2014 | Ari Yashar

Posted on 08/14/2014 12:22:43 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

A new report reveals that US President Barack Obama's administration stopped a shipment of missiles to Israel late last month and tightened weapons shipment procedures to Israel, as tensions between the two nations grow amid Operation Protective Edge.

The report in the Wall Street Journal, released Wednesday night, cites US officials in Obama's administration, who say they discovered Israel had requested a large number of Hellfire missiles directly through military-to-military channels. An initial batch of the missiles was about to be shipped, according to sources in Israel and the US Congress.

At that point, the Pentagon stepped in and put the transfer on hold. Further, top White House officials instructed various US military agencies to consult with the US State Department before approving any additional requests from Israel.

A senior Obama administration official was quoted in the report as saying the transfer shouldn't have been a routine "check-the-box approval," given Israel's defensive operation in Gaza against Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the US.

civilized world?

It's hard to call, but I am definitely in the camp that Putin could be more a friend than a foe to this nation.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all
peoples on earth will be blessed through you.

Obama beware, you are playing with fire...

Yeah, but not by Obama and Jarrett.

They have to help out Hamas being as it was started by The Muslim Brotherhood which is calling the shots for this administration via ValJar who is a high up member of the MB.

Is anyone surprised? I know where Obama’s loyalties lie.

I know we all deplored Obama for apologizing to the world for past USA behavior, but the next president of the USA is absolutely going to have to apologize for the piece of filth that resided in the White House for 8 years.

Funny thing is Russia as a nation is spent as its demographics are shrinking it as a country, and its economics are the worst sort of corporatism one can imagine.It’s only bright spot is it is run by a very capable meglomaniac taking advantage of Obama in power.

The US is still a great, an innovative country - but represented by a child President.

He’s hostile toward Israel. But consider all the people who agree with him.

Bibi is no fool. His budget priorities have Defense at the top of the list. Not 27th. Watch that SOB in DC deny him more funding for Iron Dome next time the contract is up.

Now that Col. West,a brave man indeed, has let the “well known cat out of the bag” so to speak....labeling the adult Obama a Muslim as he was in his youth, explains so much about his indesivness in reining in the waring Islamists....We have a Muslin leaning person as POTUS.
