Subject: U.S. Will Sell Israel Smart Bombs
If the United States really wanted to go after those who planned the attack on September 11th, the best place to start is in their own backyard. Our founding fathers would never tolerate the heavy handed influence of the Israeli lobby. This is why our government has only itself to blame for the mess this world sees today.
Report: U.S. Will Sell Israel Smart Bombs
.c The Associated Press
JERUSALEM (AP) - The United States will sell Israel nearly 5,000 smart bombs in one of the largest weapons deals between the allies in years, the Haaretz newspaper reported Tuesday.
The deal could face political controversy since Israel has used such bombs in fighting with the Palestinians, the daily said. In one such instance in July 2002, a one-ton bomb meant for a senior Palestinian militant also killed 15 civilians in an attack in the Gaza Strip.
The deal is worth $319 million and was revealed in a Pentagon report made to the U.S. Congress a few weeks ago, Haaretz said. Funding for the sale will come from the U.S. military aid to Israel.
The bombs include airborne versions, guidance units, training bombs and detonators. The bombs are guided by an existing Israeli satellite used by the military.
As part of the deal, Israel will receive 500 one-ton bombs that can destroy two-yard concrete walls, 2,500 one-ton bombs, 1,000 half-ton bombs and 500 quarter-ton bombs, the daily said.
The Pentagon wants through the deal to maintain Israel's military advantages and ensure U.S. strategic and tactical interests, Haaretz said.
In addition to American bombs, Israel has used U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets in several killings of senior Palestinian militants whom Israel accused of overseeing attacks in the four years of fighting.

| US states are going broke and the US ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government) continues to send millions/BILLIONS (see the link at www.wrmea.com ) of US taxpayer dollars to Israel which are used to brutally oppress the Palestinian people as such is the root of the US terror problem (to include why the US had the World Trade Center attacked in 1993 and on September 11th, 2001 - 9/11 as also conveyed by James Bamford in his new book ('A Pretext for War') as well). CIA agent 'Anonymous' conveys similar in his 'Imperial Hubris' book...

An Israeli strike, and the wider war it might touch off, also could send oil prices skyrocketing and jeopardize the global economy, analysts say.
Jay Greer, an official at the State Department's political-military bureau, which oversees arms sales and transfers, said giving the weapons to Israel "will in our view enhance U.S. national security and foreign policy interests and help maintain Israel's qualitative military edge in the region."
Asked whether the transfer makes sense amid the growing confrontation over Iran's nuclear program, Greer said, "I can't talk about that."
