US to sell $210m jet fuel to Israel
The Pentagon notified Congress of plans to sell Israel jet fuel valued at up to $US210 million ($A280 million)[.]You don't make this kind of purchase order overnight. More evidence that this assault was planned long before any soldiers were "kidnapped."
"The proposed sale of the JP-8 aviation fuel will enable Israel to maintain the operational capability of its aircraft inventory," the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in notice required by law.
It said Israel had requested the sale, but did not say when the request was made.
"The jet fuel will be consumed while (Israel's) aircraft (are) in use to keep peace and security in the region" . . .. . . by bombing everything in sight.
It said the sale - which Congress may block if both houses were to enact resolutions rejecting it within 30 days - would not affect the basic military balance in the region.Congress will never block this sale - it's a done deal.
But, more importantly, this shows that the criminal assault on Gaza and Lebanon is a joint operation betweent the US and Israel.

qrswave, you said "sell". Or did you mean the USA will "give" $210 million worth of jet fuel to Yisrael?!!
And by the way, ahmedinajad, please, please, or PLEASE don't "market" islam here. Most of us care about this issue, not looking for an alternative lifestyle. Though we respect your personal preferences and life decisions (as long as it harms no one).

anon, yes, I was thinking that too.
But, I figured you guys would pick up on it - you know the gig.

ahmedinejad, I agree with anon. There is nothing wrong with informing others, but it's impossible to win friends and influence people through arrogance.

di, yes. So true.
A quick look at foreign TV news reports of Israel's keeping "peace and security in the region."
Here's what's missing in American TV news, as reported on TV in Cyprus:
"I'm watching Cypriot TV...and here we have refugees fleeing on Cypriot planes via Damascus since early Friday... the first people to leave are of various nationalities...they are being interviewed as they arrive at Larnaca Int. Airport here in Cyprus - the 1st country to get its nationals out - or try to - and they are all terrified and crying and worried about friends and relatives they've left behind in a WAR ZONE...they themselves left everything behind..running for their lives...they say there is no water ..there is NO FOOD...innocent people have been killed including Jewish and Christian children and no one has any idea WHY THEY are being targeted! Coaches have to fly the flags of Greece and Cyprus so they won't be ambushed on the road to Damascus but now it is too treacherous and some families have been split up... the country is in half...this doean't appear to have anything to do with 'tit for tat' shelling because soldiers were kidnapped... WHY is the western media not reporting this thing accurately??? Even the British Military radio here has sent out warnings to personnel not to travel to Lebanon,Israel and Syria...what is being planned? Why are innocent people who are not linked to any government, and the tourists and businessmen being killed in Lebanon? This is what everyone should be asking today! What is behind this tragedy?"
Here's what's being reported by Australia's TV news:
Australian TV is speaking with the first Australians to arrive home from Lebanon just now .
One woman told of Israeli aircraft strafing refugees on the road to the Syrian border,and of bombs being dropped on a border post as people we attempting to cross to Syria.
She said the Syrians has been wonderful.They were helped to Damascus,from where they had a long wait for a plane,as all were crowded.
The Syrians provided food and other medical assistance to the Australians waiting at Damascus airport.She also spoke of the terrible damage done in the Lebanese countryside,where the Israeli have bombed most towms and destroyed facilities,such as water and power and even local farmers markets.
There is also a food shortage as all road bridges are down.
She said the Lebanese are determined not to be beaten and their morale is high,though all blame the US as much as they blame Israel. Over 150,000 people are thought to have crossed to Syria,she said,which may need aid to feed and clothe many of the refugee,as many have children who are in a pitiful state.
