[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I will let someone else answer your inane question.  I am afraid if I respond, I will break my self-imposed rule of not throwing an insult or curse word.  [/quote]

sorry - But WE - the US - are protecting Israel, which allows it to safely and effectively bully its "enemy."

Go ahead and fire expletives at me, moron.  Israel is no saint.  And WE'RE paying to keep this entitled country safe.

Why care for our own when we can spend millions to defend Israel?

I am using a pro-Jewish source, btw.  Note the slanted language. love the bolded lines - ". . . preventing an escalation in violence"  lol

[quote]In May 2012, President Obama directed US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to allocate an additional $70 million to pay for more Iron Dome batteries and interceptor missiles in Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak had come to the States during the month to seek further resource allocation and thanked the administration for helping upkeep a system which has [b][b]proven successful in saving lives and preventing an escalation in violence.[/b][/b] The United States has now paid nearly $300 million for the Iron Dome system.[/quote]
