[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 72 hours the amount of time it will take to rearm the Israelis?  I heard we have to send them more ammo.[/quote]

Cite your source.  From what I have heard, funding they need is not for “more ammo” but for their [b]Iron Dome Defense.  [/b]You do understand the difference, right?

[quote]Last week, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sent a letter to congressional leadership requesting $225 million in additional US funding for Israel’s Iron Dome, which is a short-range rocket defense system designed to intercept rockets and artillery shells fired from a range of between four and 70 kilometers.

The money would be in addition to the $351 million that’s already under discussion for Iron Dome in fiscal 2015. It would bring total funding to $576 million, compared with the $176 million requested by the Pentagon for the year that begins on October 1.[/quote]

What's the difference btw arming the "offense" as opposed to the "defense?"

It's still US money going to Israel.  I love working to fund a war I don't believe in.[/quote]
