Last night Mrs Beckett said she had protested to the American government after it emerged that two cargo planes loaded with 5,000lb " bunker-buster" bombs bound for Israel had stopped over at Prestwick airport near Glasgow.
She told Channel Four News: "I am not happy about it. Not least because it appears that in so far as there are procedures for handling of that kind of cargo * hazardous cargoes irrespective of what they are * it does appear that they were not followed. I have already let the United States know that this is an issue that appears to be seriously at fault: that we will be making a formal protest if it appears that that is what has happened."
But she faced criticism over officials' monitoring of British military components exported to Israel. Under strict British rules governing arms exports, military equipment should not be used for internal oppression or external aggression. According to BBC2's Newsnight, the United States has lodged requests for two planes carrying missiles to make stop-overs in the UK in the coming fortnight.
The Foreign Office insisted it had "no reports that UK-supplied equipment is being deployed by Israel in Gaza" in a way inconsistent with controls on international arms sales.
why are the US still supplying Israel with bombs... they may as well be printing t-shirts for Condi and Bush with the slogan "we support killing people"
and then to allegedly use Scottish airports, without permission, to transport yet more weapons to the Israeli forces... :eek:

oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

The U.S may aswell send it's own troops into the middle east to kill all the brown people.
Oh wait, it already has!
Yeah, it already has, just like the UK has sent it's own troops & weapons to Iraq to kill all the "brown people", and it keeps on doing so. No hypocrisy for me, please.
Hey man, you must not have heard that Britain is the 51st state of America now. Of course our government and military are on their coat-tails as always. I thought it went without saying.
he wasnt being hypocritical... the thread is about the US supplying Israel weapons via illicit means... no one mentioned UK in Iraq.. and as Byrnzie has just said... its a given that we are on the coat-tails of the US... although i hope Blair is away to Washington today to tell Bush he supports a ceasefire and the US should as well!!
but i doubt it.. more likely they'll be eating ribs and talking about Putin's wife's arse
The fact that USA are still supplying Israel with killing machines shows how much of a joke the "aid pledge" is.
Condi Rice to the people of Lebanon: "We want to help you, but we're still going to make sure you get slaughtered!!"
I'm shocked! I thought we were the 51st state of America! Those treacherous bastards... (:
Sorry, it really looked like you're adressing your criticism towards US only.
Scratchin a Letter: I don't think for a minute the UK / US govt = UK / US people. If only others would think the same about Israeli people (like you said you're doing)...
Kinda missing the point of the thread there!

How do you think this will go?:
BUSH: Yo, Blair. Watcha here for. Wanna snort?
BLAIR: No thank you, Mr President. Do the underpants I knitted you fit?
BUSH: What underpants. Now. Watcha want?
BLAIR: Well, it's about you using a Scottish airport to send bunker busters to Israel --
BUSH: Uh, huh. Gotta get dem Syrian mofos.
BLAIR: I beg your pardon?
BUSH: Syria. Hezzybull. Syria. Hezzybull. Terrurrrr. Hezzybull. Syria. Syria. Hezzybull. Lebanon. You are feeling sleepy. Hezzybull. Syria. 9/11. Saddam. Freedom. Turrrrr. You will awake to the sound of my voice --
BLAIR: Gosh, so Syria's in on it?
BUSH: Yep. They're up in Scotlandland, in Englandland, right now, trying to steal the North Sea Oil. Gotta free the Scots.
BLAIR: I see. And how do you know all this?
BUSH: Intelligence. One of your guys in Downing Street sent me a memo.
BLAIR: Gosh. Well, Mr President. I'm glad that's all sorted out. I'll - er, I'll do a press conference right now and tell them we're a strong front in the war against terror.
BUSH: Turrrrrrurrrr --
BLAIR: That's it.
BUSH: Syria --
BLAIR: Yes, Syria --
BUSH: When I count to three you will awake --
BLAIR: I will awake.
BUSH: Okay, Blair. Catch ya later.
BLAIR: Gee, you're so clever, Mr President. Bye!
(exit Blair)
BUSH: Dumbass.
(Snort.)
Quality!
Although you missed out the scene where Blair drops to his knees and takes Bush in his mouth as 'The Star Spangled Banner' plays in the background and Bush recites the Lords Prayer,saying "amen" just as he fills Blairs servile little mouth with patriotic pecker porridge.
Yeah, we need that blowjob, to get him impeached.
As long as they incorporate the glorified Arabs south of Lebanon the process will go a lot smoother than expected.
BLAIR: Hi, Hi there George
BUSH: Yo, Tonester.. hows it hanging... Pretzel?
BLAIR: Erm, no thanks... so George, i think we should call for a ceasefire, lets get the international community to become one again... lets not politically alienate ourselves
BUSH: Tony...
BLAIR: Yes George..
BUSH: Fuck off back to Englandshire and take that thing back with you!
BLAIR: What thing?
BUSH: The thing that looks like a bulldog licking piss of a cactus
BLAIR: Cherie?
BUSH: Dont you be coming on to me boy, less of that French shit around here... that talk may be fine and dandy back home in Englishlandshire, but in the US of A that kinda talk will get you arrestified!
BLAIR: You are a moron arent you George?
BUSH: I'm a moron? I'm a moron? this coming from the man whose police force shoot innocent Argentians...
BLAIR: Brasilian, George
BUSH: Whattsatt Tony?
BLAIR: a Brasilian was shot dead
BUSH: (in horror) A fuckin Brasilian Tony... Jesus H Mother of Luke from Genesis... (whispers to Condi) how many is in a Brasilian again? You still here then Tonester... you have to go, I have a special 3pm meeting with, erm, important... things
BLAIR: The Care Bears Movie is on isnt it?
BUSH: Yes, do you want to be Share-A-Lot
*blow job ensues*
You know, she does.
Perhaps you'd then like to see the process incorporate the brown people of New Orleans once the Middle East problem has been nullified? Or is it only certain types of brown people that you'd like to see exterminated?

It was more a kick at the fact that they are the same people just divided by religion and a line in the sand. You know the old "they look the same to me" routine without taking the relgion or that line into fact. Sort of like the comment I quoted was in jest. I think??????
Yeah....sure.....whatever...
I'm sure that "unknowingly" claim would go over real well if it was an American airport.

O.k. You are forgiven! I think????
so wait a minute.... you guys are making the weapons, you are selling them to the country that has every other nation in the world calling for it to halt... your planes land in our country, without the recognised legal authority... and yet we are aiding and abetting.. :rolleyes:
fucking hell!!
I suppose it's the equivalent of accusing an eyeglasses manufacturer of being complicit in someones murder, because when some dude shot another dude, who happened to be wearing spectacles, in the face, some of the glass from his specs went into his skull along with the bullet. I think???
YEs!!!! its just like that.....i think
Ahh...hypocrisy at it's finest.
You know without a doubt that if some other country was supplying the bombs and using American airports for transportation that you would be screaming bloody murder at the U.S. just like you always do.

Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
i wouldnt if the US didnt know the planes were landing there... you forget that i am not anti-US... i'm maybe anti-religious, anti-war, anti-pasti and anti-sally... but i'm only anti US policies, well ones that contradict my thoughts at least!
its not so much that they are landing here anyway, its more that they are STILL supplying the forces with arms and at the same time are organising aid for the lebanese... thats hypocrisy
BS. Many of you would just claim that the U.S. was lying when it said it didn't know the planes were landing there. And in my opinion, you'd be correct. You can't tell me the governmnent doesn't know what's going on at it's airports.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
That is their way. For most, you have to actually be outside their border to get a grip of it though.
To quote Homer Simpson and I think it rings quite true. "How could anybody notice Canada tucked away down there".
Hypocrits...listen up. While that doesn't make it right...the global fight for oil is what is taking place. Criticizing one side shows your ignorance.
But I guess ignorance is bliss....

The British government is rife with bureaucracy and civil servants doing things behind ministers' backs. It's not organised and homogenous. Margaret Beckett is foreign secretary, and she's supposed to briefed by MI6 about everything. But it seems she didn't hear about this business. The Foreign Office is huge, and it could be quite easy for information to get "lost" in a big department like that.
