[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]

It's not just Iron Dome.  
[quote]According to the network, Pentagon officials have confirmed that the US will honor a request from Israel for several types of ammunition, including 120mm mortar rounds and 40mm ammunition for grenade launchers. The exchange will not be an emergency sale, the unnamed officials said, and is coming from a stockpile of weapons maintained by the US in Israel worth more than $1 billion.
