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.
Looks like Israel will soon have to start purchasing weaponry from India/China/France/Russia again.
Though, France will probably take the money... and then refuse to deliver the goods, just like the last time Israel purchased weaponry from them.
As for China, well... I'm sure that Israel can easily reverse-engineer all their US-made equipment. China would most likely GIVE Israel any quantity of weaponry to get those blueprints? Either that, or their government would finance the construction any number of Israeli-owned, China-based factories used to build those weapons (provided they get some of the weapons, too).
All because the State Department is miffed that Israelis don't want to die at the hands of Palisimians.
(When it become a matter of simply survival as a people, political friendships and loyalty take second place.)
