U.S. Blocks Arms, Technology to Israel

The Bush administration has blocked arms and technology transfers to Israel.

Israeli and U.S. sources said the State Department has blocked the transfer of weapons and technology to the Jewish state over the last three months. The sources said the halt reflected deteriorating relations between the two countries since the end of the war in Lebanon in August 2006.

Unless I get more information and confirmation on it I call it BS.

[Enosh]

Agreed. This is hard to believe.

How long ago was it when it was announced that the US was pouring arms into storage in Israel for US use in future actions?

No more than 2 months ago.

How long would it take for the US to transfer ownership/use of this inventory to Israel if need be?

30 seconds or less.

I call BS as well. LOL, we will probably depend on Israeli technology for OUR next generation weapons.

[jankp]

My first thoughts on reading were also BS but with what I've seen Condi getting away with lately...well...I think it needs to be looked into.

[SIRTRIS]

Al-Takeyya after considering the source!

In the last day before its recess Friday, the US House of Representatives and Senate approved loan guarantees to Israel and the doubling of US arms stored in Israel for emergency use.

I personally do NOT find it hard to believe.
The U.S. understands that the Olmert/Peretz/Livni(Kadima Party)is highly UN-reliable and not to be trusted with anything the U.S.does NOT want to see sold to China for the personal enrichment of the above named polititurds.

It is NOT Israel that the Bush administration has a beef with, but it's incompetent and personally corrupt leadership.

[Jedi Master Pikachu]

Not all weapons and technology transfer?

Well, since we are blocking arms and tech to Israel, we should deliver some arms and tech to Iran now.

You're right.

Think of Loral etc. during the Clinton Years.

By not transferring technology to Israel, Bush is just eliminating the middleman.

Bush 43 will serve the Clintons, like his father before him. (Star Wars quote).

Cheers!

...oh, and Merry Christmas!

Olmert is an idiot.
