Report: Netanyahu to ask Obama for weapons to strike Iran

If Obama refuses then Israel should use some of its many tactical nukes. Let Obama make a choice: State of the Art bunker busters or Israels tactical nukes. I myself much prefer tactical nukes to get the job done right !

...Out the door. It is beyond time for anyone to accept the war mongers and land thieves in Israel. They have become a despicable lot and are unworthy of US and EU support today. People will be in the streets yet over them-- burning their flag and calling for the state to be shut down as a safe haven for no one. Dutch

There is no way our American soildiers are going to be sacrificed to Netanyahu.

Israel has not earned the trust of the USA to act responsibly. Israel's interests are not those of the USA. There is a high risk of unilateral action by Israel that will implode the Middle East. The USA must maintain control over its own weapons and the balance of power. Many Arab nations are strong, reliable allies of the USA. The USA can no longer arm Israel so that it can pose a threat to its neighbors.

Sorry, you don't get to play the game you want.

By all means, PLEASE refuse to accept any more aid, loans, UN vetoes, cover or any other assistance from the US. Because when and if you ever bomb Iran you will do it on your own and you alone will suffer the terrible consequences. Your ONLY hope is Green Line. Yes, the Green Line without further obfuscation, spin, occupation and/or illegal settlements. The US has "helped" you long enough.

not agood idea look what happend in afganistan.stop handing out wepons.

His web is as weak as a real spiders. Free Iran Now!

If Ivar would have been alive in 1938 he would have been one of those ones celebrating Chamberlain for bringing peace in our times. He would have been one of those claiming that Chcoslovaquia is worth the price for world peace. The response of Churchill to persons like Ivar,is You lost your dignity to preserve peace, and you will get war without dignity. Ivar....Israel is not Checoslovaquia, and Israel cannot care less, if you get exploded in a bloody world war. However, you don't have to worry. Iran is not such a match. If United Sates decides that israel will do the job, no world war will follow. Just a few missiloes over Tel Aviv that will be retaliated by Israel and America. Hizbalah wont dare. It is tied and trapped by Lebanese politics.

The United States will do whatever is in it's national interet, no more and no less. Good luck if you think otherwise

Israel will go ahead and build their very own bunker busters in house What the heck, they make tanks and cannon, bomb is just another hunk of metal Israel has the technology and facilities, it may be more difficult to make them, but, supply of bombs will be assured

You may not realize it, but many of us 'anti-Israel' Americans are of German heritage, and even though we have been pummeled for generations with the whole 'nazi' thing, we haven't become any less proud of our German heritage. So when you foolishly try to claim the 'west' was threatened by Germany in WWII, all I can say is "Hahahahaha!!! YOU are an idiot! Germany IS the West!"

Occupied California, occupied Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and occupied Puerto Rico--why not go all the back to occupied Manhattan? And think of the deal we got on that from the Mohicans for 20 bucks! Compare to the usurious prices Rothschild was shelling out to those Shylocks of absentee Syrian landlords in order to build Tel Aviv. David is so right! Let no Texan or Californian living on land stolen from Mexico talk about the sins of "Occupation". The only difference is that Israel's possessions came by pure necessity of defense; America's by aggression, purely for sake of greed and nothing else, not even so much as an ancient claim. -- JM

Rob Edwards' article states the arms shipment was already on its way on March 14, 2009: (Rob Edwards, "Final destination Iran?" heraldscotland.com, March 14, 2010, http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/world-news/final-destination-iran-1.1013151 (accessed March 20, 2010).

N. O.

Using your logic, Hitler invaded Europe to get to your "canary". Liebensraum was the policy, extermination was the byproduct. Ooooh, sounds eerily like Israeli occupational policy, huh? You guys just haven't had the guts to fully implement the second part.

General Petraeus doesn't "tell" Israel ANYTHING. Israel is telling YOU to get your nose out of the defense business of another nation where it does not belong. The security of American soldiers in the field is your business and NONE of Bibi's. Bibi has security concerns of his own for his own. Get that straight, Mr. so-called "American Citizen". Bibi's concern is that madman, Ahmadinutjob getting his grungy finger on the nuke button, which he is clearly crazy enough to push, if he's crazy enough to deny the realities of the Shoah and 9/11. He's a suicide bomber with a nuclear weapon strapped to himself and to the belly of all Iran. And you, buddy, are just as crazy as he is if you can actually suppose the security of American forces in the field holds a greater value in this world than the security of Israel and it's people. Think again! America has turned its back on Israel in every war she has ever fought--bar none. What goes around comes around. -- JM

everybody's day around the world. Better set up a course to teach the homies how to bend over backwards and kiss their own asses goodbye. You folks are truly whacked!!! Iran doesn't need nukes to war with Israel. Start something. Nothing cures a bully like a bloody nose and Israel loves to trounch on the defenseless; Iran is not in that class and that's why Dubya didn't bomb them.

There is no question that we (Israel) with our nuclear stockpile, could wipe out Iran in one fell swoop. However, in order for that to occur militarily, Iran would have to attack us first. Even as crazy as the Iranian leader is, I do not believe that he has a death wish. So, therefore, what is the purpose of having the US on board? Simply, to draw them in and then have them fight in our interest, as we did in Iran and Afgahnistan. Obamas' advisors, especially Rahm Emanuel, are quite familiar with our psyche and will guard Obama against this move. If not, it is only a question of who will leave first, Bibi or Obama. Interesting.

As crazy as Dubbya Bush was, he wasn't nuts enough to give Israel the weapons and a green light.

Which is why the United States will refuse Netanyahu's request. As it to wishes to ensure the long term survival of Israel.

When Biden came to town his first words were we are dedicated to Israels security. Now Obama and Biden are playing games with Israels security. A shipment of weapons that was scheduled for Israel was redirected to Diego Garcia. So much for Obama/ Biden phony support of Israel. All Jewish scientist who care about Israel should consider moving to Israel. It`s time to stop depending on the USA and start building Israels own weapons. With Jewish know how Israel can surpass the USA and build and sell the next generation of weapons. Israel should consider closer ties with China and India. A military partnership between Israel/China and India would free Israel from the games of Obama/Biden and Clinton. Israeli weapons can be produced in India or China and sold to other nations and thus break the stranglehold America has on the arms market. Israeli know how combined with China`s workforce could turn the whole arms industry upside down. China is very likely to be the worlds next superpower.

If Israel used even one nuclear weapon, no matter how small, every country in the world would be horrified. Permanent trade sanctions would be imposed within hours. At least one third of Israeli Jews would begin emigrating. The US would use military means to prevent any further nuclear warfare. The whole Zionist project would soon be over.

Today's Sunday Times revealed that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is training as well as arming Taliban/Al Qaida forces to kill US troops and Afghans in Afghanistan. All sane Americans will support Obama when he gives Israel whatever it needs to put America's enemies out of business for good. The American people and its Congress are watching you, Mr President.

It's amazing how delusional all you anti-Israel nutjobs are. Jews and Israelis have always been the canary in a coalmine. Jews are first and then the rest of the west. I suppose Hitler invaded Europe because of Israel right? Iran is just as much America's problem as it is Israels. Wonder where the US would be if Israel didn't bomb the Iraqi reactor. How happy would the world be with an Iraqi nuclear device in the hands of Saddam Insane. Thank god the vast majority of Americans understand this and except for Obama and Carter, American Presidents have understood this as well. As for me, I'm done with this newspaper and this board. Mark, Chris, Nathalie and all the rest of you haters, keep spewing your malicious hatred. I hope you sleep well with an Iranian bomb. But you're right, the Iranian Hitler has been such a good friend to the US and Obama.

Netanyahu is crazy Yes he is. He does not need peace, he want to build more settlements He wants more weapons to keep doing such things. It is time That Israel wakeup and decides to make peace not war War these days is very expensive for the Israeli people And for the Arabic people. May good save us from people like Netanyahu.

not only do we have the ability to hit iran but we will... however we would prefer not to use a jericho 4 or 5 missle which would kill thousands... you are living in occupied california, yes? when does that got back to mexico... you did steal it in 1848 right? tell me something... do you have a swastika behind you when you type these anti israel messages you love to send? why read an israeli paper?

Diplomacy will fail as this maniacal islamic monster, Ahmadinejad, continues to thumb his nose at all the peace overtures and concessions made by the west and regards US and Israel's threats of retaliation with contempt. Is it fair that Israel should withhold a preemptive strike against Iran just because big brother US said no when the nation is threatened outright with annihilation by Iran year in and year out? God help us all if this rogue state has finally made a nuclear bomb!

Behind every disabled man, there are always able men It?s your own lantern; don?t poke holes in this paper If you can't change your fate, change your attitude Going too slow is losing a cow for the sake of a turtle A job of a thousand posts begins with a single line

Stand by Israel

'If Israel ever launches a nuke attack, she will not survive a week.' What makes you so sure, friend? If Israel carries out a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Iranian nuclear sites, what happens then? The only Muslim country having nukes is Pakistan, and I really doubt, with its own raft of problems it would get involved. The remainder of the nuclear powers - the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, India - aren't going to nuke Tel Aviv. Certainly, there would be a hue and cry raised by Israel's enemies - but it would be little more than hot air. I really don't think, either, that you truly appreciate the Jewish mentality at work here. Israel will not allow another Hitler to arise and threaten the Jewish people, full stop. 'Never again' isn't a slogan -- it's Israel's foreign policy. The Israelis are determined to survive. Obama can do nothing more than influence the instruments of their survival. MV

Stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions is beyond Israel power. Israel cannot do this job; it cannot even get to Iran and back without flying over Iraq, which the Iraqis, and therefore the US will absolutely not allow. Iran is consrtucting multiple Uranium enrichment plants, so that destroying one will not have a very serious effect on the Iran program. So far, the US has sent a number of envoys to Israel (including the military top soldier, trying to dissuade it from acting irresponsibly and irrationally. Obama will certainly not pour oil on this fire of the paranoid Likud by giving them advanced bombs. The way to go is sanctions. So far, China and Russia are balking at really painful sanctions. The US should get what it can from the Security Council, and then let the US and EU impose additional sanctions.

As an American citizen that has seen the US decline over the past 25 years. I support the position that Israel should stop buying American arms. Here are additional actions many American taxpayer's support: 1). Pull out from Iraq and Afghanistan now. 2). Redirect those costs to development of energy sources within US borders. 3). Halt it's liberal entitlement system all Americans that are able to work must work or go without government subsidy. (Work program) 4). Enforce extremely costly penalties so no US employer would dare employ an illegal immigrant. 5). Let Israel defend the Jewish state it insisted upon.

U.S should always stand by Israel.

The U. S. should always stand by Israel.

In this farce of a debate, there is a panel of 4.....2 on the hamas side, and 2 on the PA side... The only discussion taking place, is how best to get rid of ALL of israel...this is not about gaza and WB, it is about israel INSIDE the green line...israel rightly knows what they are facing...the people here on haarets and elsewhere around the world who THINK this code word "occupation" is about gaza and west bank are either delusional, ill informed, ignorant or anti semitic. It IS that simple. All of you who deny this with this excuse or that excuse simply are avoiding the truth, as time and time again is laid bare from the mouths of the PA, HAMAS, the lebanese, the syrians, the iranians, the saudis etc... What a disgrace the arabs are and by defacto, Obama. Obama KNOWS that the arabs at large are not talking about WB and Gaza, nor about golan or shaaba farms...HE KNOWS and yet he won't come out and say to the arabs, until you accept Israel even INSIDE the green line, we will not engage in a false peace process, and not only that, but we will strengthen israel and strengthen her security. Nabil shaath and abdullah abdullah are on the PA side of this farce called a debate in doha..and BOTH of them are for taking down all of israel. This is the so called moderate side of the palestinians....what they want is perfectly crystal clear. It is a complete joke...if you ask me, israel is being pushed into a false peace, KNOWING that this is a trojan horse. Obama is a real disgrace.

Israeli can damn well get their weaponry from anywhere, and pay in shekels. 3B$ IN US tax payer dollars in MOU commitments to Israel would be better spent on business loans, infrastructure, healthcare, etc., right here at home, than to fuel Israeli intransigence.

I don't think Israel is that stupid. If Israel ever launches a nuke attack, she will not survive a week. But, just because I think Israel is not so foolish as to destroy itself does not make it true.

You see,if we used these weapons it would increase our "carbon footprint" and we don't have any way of ensuring that no innocent people (or animals) are injured-so, we'll just keep sending our troops door-to-door (like british redcoats) to hunt down the taliban in their booby-trapped cities because it's better that we sacrafice our soldiers than damage the fragile enviroment.We can't strike iran's reactors because there's a tiny spider found only in persia which loves making its home in poorly constructed nuke reactors. We can't risk losing another species-we're trying to be good stewards of our planet.

bomb.Obama should be concentrating on Iran but instead he is pushing israel listening to Iran backed J street. Obama is placing all the world's children in danger empowering America's and Israel's enemies to push for the bomb and to destroy the US constitution and American influence all over the world. Wake up!!!please read http://www.gloria-center.org/gloria/2010/03/other-than-apartments

You can't actually believe what you're saying, can you?? First of all, it isn't Israeli taxpayer money that buys arms from American companies. It's AMERICAN tax dollars that we give to you!! All the U.S. has to do is take the $3billion that we give to you every year to buy arms and give it to another country to use to buy arms from the same American companies. Nobody will be laid off, someone more friendly to the U.S. than Israel will be able to buy arms, and Israel will be stuck having to figure out what to do without all that money that they use to prop up their military!! Your "Europeans, Russians and Israeli" comment is flawed since without the $3billion, you won't be buying anything from any of them either!! So feel free to ditch the military aid. The only one who would end up being hurt by it is Israel!!

Sure thing Bibi. Anything just ask. Oh please do keep on expanding as you wish. We share the same vision of a greater jew State. And do ratchet up that siege by a few notches. We have to make sure those people learn their lesson. Bwahahahaha.

don't you realize by now that Hussein Obama is an enemy of Israel and has joined his corelgionists in a jihad against Israel,this terorist and jihadist loving muslim will not only refuse to give you any bombs,but will give these same bombs to his arab friends to help them destroy you. WAKE UP ISRAEL before it is too late,if you wait much longer you will wake up one morning and see a mushroom cloud over tel-aviv,the choice is yours,either a mushroom cloud over Teheran NOW or a mushroom cloud over Israel a little later

If you want peace, be ready for self-defence. Israel's weakness under Olmert's government encouraged two Iranian-sponsored attacks, one from Lebanon in 2006 and one from Gaza in 2008. Israel must NOT be caught unprepared for the third time.

... in the likely event Obama tells Netanyahu and Israel to go to hell, during the upcoming meeting. Israeli Dolphin-class subs have been modified to carry Harpoon sea-launched cruise missiles. The missiles have been modified to carry nuclear weapons -- placing most, if not all, of Iran's nuclear sites within target range. The subs would be placed in close proximity to Iran's coast line. Iran would have very little time to react to an Israeli sea-based strike. So I say to those of you opposed to Israel getting US-made, non-nuclear, bunker-busting bombs: I hope you'll enjoy the sight of mushroom clouds over Iran. For Israel will defend itself, by any means possible - with or without Obama's help. MV

Most probably Israel already has got these bombs and this is a political move which is designed to end with US refusal, hence relief at Iranian End from an Israeli attack... which should take place halfway through the Palestenian or Syria peace talks. Thats my bet. Things are never how they look they are.

fighting your wars. Enough Americans have died over Israeli policy.

Have ya heard of the snowballs chance in Hades? You made your bed. You told the US to pound sand and screw off. Well we did. See Ya. Wish ya well Don't call.

Here is a guy who does nothing by foment conflict. Now he wants to start a huge regional war to cover his belligerent theft of East Jerusalem. I think we should recall our ambassador to Israel, not give this insane government weapons. Who needs them? We are not going to get peace in the region by dealing with Israel. The best way to do it is to forget Israel completely and focus on building peaceful institutions with the PA and neighboring states. I would approach it as if Israel were not there and peace had been made. Israelis will fight with each other while we move in a direction favorable to ourselves.

The nuclear arms race is fueled by the US and Israel! If anyone needs bunker busters it is Israels enemies! Israel after all has nukes now! The rhettorical threats from Israel are real and only reinforces Irans want or need for them ......PEACE NEVER?

that it is business as usual and that the close relations tha most Israelis hold as sacrosanct, and the Israeli's Prime Minister primary duty to maintain above everything else. The fact is Netanyahu is going to the White House to ask how high he is required to jump and the sequence of the hoops he will jump through. Netanyahu is certainly not in any position to demand anything from Obama, as the Israeli people will see for themssleves. The shadow of Yitzhak Shamir is stalking Netanyahu. And very entertaining it is to watch to.

"Pravda's" wisdom on the 3d World war. btw ,Ivar ,have your Dad marched with SS-veterans in Tallin ?

and they will not permit a US base on their soil unless it is being used as a means of preventing the Iranian threat. Ironically, their are Arab governments who see eye to eye with Israel on this one (including the folks in Dubai!). In fact this could be a means of bringing them together (in private of course).

This is beyond absurd. After the last couple of weeks when Netanyahu showed just how anti-agreements his government is, he goes asking for weapons from the US. Once again Bibi's timing is perfect, lol.

Mullahs controlling the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia ,fruit of the Peanut Farmer helping their rise then Bambi's help in gaining all the time in the world to develop nukes.

right now a major war in the ME will be a catastrophe for the world economy.Implement better the two state solution and so help moderate the situation.

Simple, he does not trust him, I dont either.

`" If you fool me once, shame on ME... if you fool me twice, shame on you"` (the finished and correct version)... (I'm nearly as bad as the man himself!!)

The US policy is very clear..The President doesn't have to give a speech everytime to establish or communicate policy. In the State of the Union, Obama said that Iran should not have the Bomb, but it's hard to stop a country from acquiring nucler medicine or electricity. Similar comments have been made many times...the policy is to negotiate and apply sanctions. Policy isn't deleiver in a nice speech with a "bow tied around it."

...All weapon salers needs "export control" approval..The White House can easily delay or deney requests at this point. USA gifts money...it comes out of US taxpayer pockets goes into Israel gov't pockets..It happens 'cause the US Gov't approves annual gifts to Israel.

Spider, you are clearly none too wise... Why and how could America engage in another attack when such an attack would surely develop into a war? The tide is turning aka the evidentiary trail emanating from Tel Aviv and provided in complimentary fashion and great drama... To quote the quote of the great GHWB... '" If you fool me once, shame on you... if you fool me twice, shame on you"' (the finished and correct version)... It seems that the US has been discovering a little about the kernel of this 'parable'... albeit a tad late... '"Once bitten, twice shy"'... '"The boy who cried wolf"' also spring to mind...

The United States at this moment in time is run by dewey eyed kids. It is not hard to understand how their electorate was hoodwinked into voting Obama into power with their economy in such a mess. However,we all need to understand that economics is not the be all and end all. The world is facing a crisis with Iran and it needs strong experienced government to prevent another major war. Action against Iran nuclear sites needed to have been taken a while ago. Power in the US has been handed over to children and American adults need to get it back pronto.

I-m astonished to hear that Israel still in the "procurement phase" is for the iranian attack. Don't they have binker-buster bombs already ? Or is this a strategy to make Iran thing that Israel is not ready yet to attack and so make them feel at rest? I'm betting on the secend explanation...

America will not provide these weapons to Israel. If America wanted to attack Iran, they would do this without Israeli help. If America helps Israel to make such an attack, by providing weapons or "right of way", then Iran and the world will rightfully hold America, as well as Israel, responsible for the attack. Israel has neither the capability or the ability to make an attack upon Iran. By announcing his intentions to the press, Netanyahu is simply posturing and saber rattling.

If we say no to Bunker Busters than Israel will hve no choice but to say yes for Low Yield Tactical Nuclear Bunker Busters of which she has plenty. It's just that simple

Spider, you are stuck in an Israeli web here. There are two big differences between Western and Israeli views on the use of force. Israel only knows the preemptive strike, where all is staked on a brief and fleeting moment of national PR glory and hang the longer term consequences. In the West, force is the last resort. Saadam, Milosevic etc all got countless warnings while the diplomatic, economic and military noose tightened. They paid the ultimate price for their intransigence. So too Iran. It is already contained, with NATO Turkey to the West, US-Iraq to the South-West, US-Saudi to the South, US-Afghanistan to the East. It is in line for tightening political and economic sanctions. It will either fold sensibly or pay the price. Two, Israel views life through a VERY anti-Muslim lens. Few others share that view. No one is going to embark on a holy crusade just to shore up Israel's military domination of the region. Bibi has nothing to add in the real corridors of power.

The problem of Iranian compliance with international standards of nuclear proliferation is an international, and not an Israeli issue. Israel has no right to ignite World War III, especially in any preemptive adventures against Iran. Israel must be restrained by International committments to prevent such disastrous Israeli adventurism.

Being a paper tiger is the reason Israel won't attack Iran alone, but we could easily wipe Iran out by ourselves. However Israel cannot, hence the begging for bombs. But like our Joint Chiefs said, Iran is not our concern and after two wars, we're giving diplomacy a chance despite the wishes of your crazy leaders. And besides our interest are not the same as Israel's. Iran threatens Israel's regional nuclear hegemony, not America's super power status.

Your comment is as silly as Bibi's incoherent gibberish of late. The US gives Israel weapons on the cheap. Israel "buys" weapons using military aid and loan guarantees the US gives it annually, which is in the $$$ billions. And there are many countries that want to buy US weapons, and most of Israel's neighbors would gladly pick up the loss "sales" from Israel many times over. So ahead; make our day and refuse all US aid. We could use those billions at home, where they belong.

people have been talking to iran for years. all talk is useless. obama has to decide whether he will let iran go nuclear--as it seems. however, at least he should not embarrass himself and his counrty by groveling. the great power has been humiliated and diminished by its own leader. perception is essential in leadership and power projection. as for russia, nothing would surprise me regarding them. the indian poster, anubhav, had warned me years ago that the russians were involved with nuclear games in the region. i left you a post on the hillary thread, regarding your post on diplomacy. shavua tov.

lol dude! good luck with that--Obama may deliver them directly to you on your noggin.

I remember quite well the press reports that Israel bought from US 5000 anti bunker bombs a few years ago ; So why he fuss now ?

who can only "give speeches and bully whoever opposes him. thus far, the world has seen no real leadership from him. " Unlike Netanyahu, you mean, who indeed does NEVER bully ANYONE opposing him and has shown the world what REAL leadership is? So your idea of "real leadership" is to start a third war in the Middle East, is it?

Israel has the ability and means to complete the job on it's own , she also has G-D and His WORD with her . No one can stand against the creator of the heavens and the earth , The Holy One of Israel , the G-D of Abraham , the G-D of Isaac , the G-D of Jacob , the G-D of Israel . Hallel yah .

Do you honestly think the USA need Israel in this respect? Africa and Asia will only be too happy to oblige.

Mr.Obama, has not yet laid out his policy vis a vis Iran. True enough. How can he.? He cannot even talk to them. He uses intermediaries, emissaries and video broadcasts. Iran is steadfast,resolute and stubborn. Iran is run by a Regime that are not diplomatically inclined to discuss their future plans, neither with Russia, their closest ally. Meanwhile, Russia is producing baby nuclear energy plants, similar to those on their nuclear subs, for sale to the energy hungry highest bidders. Shavua tov.

since a military force is not in its base , and it is in danger when it is in meadle east if petraeus want to avoid a threat to its troops he should withdraw its forces .As they accept to stay they must accept to iran if they have attacked. Easy to attack Iraq but fear to fight Iran !!!it is not an attitude of real superpower!!.Mao was right when he said that us was only a paper tiger

Just like the foxnews said Bibi and Obama were meeting. Times online also owned by murdoch is even worse they are hyping a story on world tribune because they are bunker buster bombs they assume iran but this is for hezbollah bunkers that bush agreed too. Bibi has said he knows not to ask obama for what bush didn't agree too.

Bush rejected the request for iran bombs so israel knows not to ask obama and this has been reported many times. The size of these bombs show it was the request for hezbollah bunker buster bombs that bush agreed to in 2008. These bombs would be worthless against iran's bunkers.

Military aid is a subsidy to the US arms industry and is nothing more than a discount because one of the conditions of this aid is the bulk of Israels annual defense budget ( Israeli taxpayer money ) must be spent in the US on American weapons, Israel does not have the option to shop around see what others are selling. Drop the military aid and the country its going to hurt most is America. How will Americans feel when they are laid off as a result of lost income all because the president placed a virtual arms embargo onto Israel? How will the Europeans, Russians & Israeli firms feel when that Israeli money gets spent on their hardware rather than American? Since Obama came to power he has refused just about every weapons platform Israel has wanted to buy. Bunnker busters Ariel refueling gear Details on the F15E Apache hellicopters - he did sell Apaches to Egypt along with many other weapons including Harpoon Block II and Javalin missies Lets hurt America ditch the military aid

PM Netanyahu is going to Washington. Mainly to see Madame Sec. H.Clinton. He will be diplomatic and freshen the air. Plenty of damage control. He will be accompanied by DM Barak. They will do what is necessary, in order to assure those in AIPAC that they are in control of a leaky ship and probably try and block recent efforts by J Street. Asking the US for advanced bunker busters as reported by the above tabloid may well be true. Then again, I doubt that anybody will be home, even so, these weapons are not what Israel requires. Hurried talks with Mr.Obama may well take place. After all, Mr.Obama believes still in crippling sanctions, somewhere someone, may well be planning an attack from Diego Garcia. Remember the top US General, David P. has stated that Iran will not produce a nuclear device this year. I guess he was also assured by Mr.Ahmadinejad.?? So, Mr Prime Minister, have a safe trip, just be nice to Mizz Clinton. Good day to all, from gorgeous snowy Swiss Alps.

Israel already has 100 GBU-28s. They are not the real Bunker Busters. The real ones can only be carried by big airplanes, anyway. And they won't be in production for another year. We get first dibs. We're building them.

give speeches and bully whoever opposes him. thus far, the world has seen no real leadership from him. who is in charge of national security? is general patraeus in charge, or is obama in charge? when was the last time obama gave a speech setting out his policy on iran? is iran policy being made via video? how pathetic.

Bush agreed to give Olmert this in 2008 when Olmert asked Bush for the Iran bunker buster bombs. What Bibi is asking Obama for is only what Bush agreed to and Obama cancelled when he came into office. This was recent as the scotland herald said the ship itinerary has this going to diego garcia in 2008. Bibi and his advisors it has been reported has said on several occasions he knows not to ask Obama for what Bush didn't agree too.

General Petraeus already told Israel that its attacks on its neighbors endangers American troops in the region and are not in our national interest. If Israel attacks Iran, we'll get blamed and our troops in Iraq would be sitting ducks. AIPAC and its supporters in Congress won't dare challenge the opinion of the Joint Chiefs.

the man is going insane .going all the way to america to get advanced weapons to kill iranians and destroy thier achievements and humiliate the iranian people . supposedly usa gave him what he wants , can he really strike iran and relax at home with family and that,s it ? a job well done ? the man is suicidal and he,s taking down israel and israelis with him .

and how to stand on your own

from my scources i have learned that nutty yahoo and right wing gov has not recieved so much as an apache spare part since obama got in office...i dont exspect that to change...we certainly dont want nutty yahoo or the facsist leiberman to have any weapons

safely and efficiently. Netaneyahoo must be relieved of his duties before sunset. Its enough our 3rd is pushing boots in the Baghdad's sand and we don't know how to pull those boots out of those sands without having to forsake our families because it will take going out on barricades and shooting our misfits living of Iraqies misery. He wants to send in those same sands our entire nation. Send your Einsteins to build bonds with Iran and help them build safe nuclear energy. And make sure that not a hair falls of the Neda's kids head.

to who is attacking Israel now. Maybe he ought to ask Iran for arms against Jihadists. Maybe he ought to ask Iran for advice how they succeed in standing up to the world till now without flinching.
