U.S. Weaponry Facilitates Killings In Gaza

The devastating Israeli firepower, unleashed largely on Palestinian civilians in Gaza during two weeks of fighting, is the product of advanced U.S. military technology. The U.S. weapons systems used by the Israelis -- including F-16 fighter planes, Apache helicopters, tactical missiles and a wide array of munitions -- have been provided by Washington mostly as outright military grants.

'US delivers advanced high- powered radar system to Israel'

The United States has transferred to Israel a new and advanced high-powered radar system that will improve Israel's reaction time to an Iranian missile strike, the Defense News Magazine reported over the weekend.

One would think, with all of the supposedly brilliant minds in the US and Israel, that someone would figure out that if Israel is attacked, it won't be with 2 or 3 missiles. Any attack will entail the simultaneous launch of multiple missiles from multiple launch pads in multiple locations. Unless the US can give Israel something that can track and knock down 20-30 or more missiles all at once, whatever they give them is like pissing in the ocean - it won't make no difference.

DoD approves sale of bunker buster missiles to Israel

The US Department of Defense has notified Congress of a potential sale of 1,000 small diameter bunker-buster missiles to Israel, which would likely be used in the event of a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities.

There is still a chance for sanity to prevail - Congress still has to approve the deal but I'm not holding my breathe...

Israel attempting scuttle $400 million U.S.-Lebanon arms deal

"Israeli authorities have stated that recent events in Lebanon, including Hezbollah's resurgence in the south, have led them to believe that the arms transfer could pose a security threat, namely if future clashes cause government forces to splinter, possibly causing the arms to fall into the hands of the Lebanese Shi'ite militia Hezbollah."

Judging from the 2006 As* whipping Israel took, I can't say I blame them. But, I seriously doubt Hezbollah need US made weapons - they seem to be doing just fine the way things are...
