U.S. Speeds Up Bomb Delivery for the Israelis
By DAVID S. CLOUD and HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON, July 21 — The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the Bush administration, the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign in a way that could be compared to Iran’s efforts to arm and resupply Hezbollah.
The munitions that the United States is sending to Israel are part of a multimillion-dollar arms sale package approved last year that Israel is able to draw on as needed, the officials said. But Israel’s request for expedited delivery of the satellite and laser-guided bombs was described as unusual by some military officers, and as an indication that Israel still had a long list of targets in Lebanon to strike.

Who is paying you? Is your job to drive people insane? Because every time I hear this kind of garbage I feel like slitting my wrists.
And if america did'nt sell/give them any weapons in the first place we would have even fewer deaths.
Its the truth...i support israel and am not ashamed to support them.
Hahahah!! You're a fucking plant for the US Gov't or IDL. Lol I hope so for your sake.
Israelis are just as big of terrorists as the rest of them.
The american bombs are being adressed to that kind of terrorist's bunker.
btw, those 23 bombs were well targeted towards one area. No civilians nor terrorists were hurt as a result of that specific bombing (according to arab & Israeli media). But yes, I think it still means some kind of escalation.
I'm with you Isreal has right to defend itself. Hezbollah is part of the Lebanese government.

Do you have proof of this fact or does it just make it easier for you to sleep at night?
You support yourself and your lame attempts at drawing attention to yourself are really getting old.
do the 23 seats out of 128 in the lebanese parliament your definition of proof that hezbollah is "part of the lebonese gov't"?

Facts!!! we don't need no stinking facts.
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
Israel is looking at a genocide they can't accomplish. Firm negiotation is the only option. Fighting makes more fighting and anger. You just harm the innocent that don't understand, and then they start hating and killing.
I wish I could push a button to selectively vaporize all the Hezzbollah nuts. That's what needs to be done, but can't.
Their brothers and sisters that only know the goodness in them will start to hate.
It's like that serial killer where the parents deny it and the neighbors are quoted as saying "gee I can;t believe it, he was the nicest neighbor".
These hezzy nutters appear normal and dress in civilian clothes. That's the problem. You can't seperate it enough to combat it effectively. It just makes more mess.
One part of me says ya roast em silly, and the other knows that it's wrong.
That I believe is the right way to look at it. Negiotiation is the only way.
how nice of them. :(
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
