The United States expressed readiness to provide Lebanon by 2013 with aircraft designed for light attack, the local daily As Safir reported Friday.Reconnaissance missions and counter- insurgency operations? Hmmm, what kind of counter insurgency operations are they referring to? Lebanon doesn't need weapons to defend itself against Syria. Lebanon and Syria have been on good terms with each other ever since Barack Obama became President. Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, realized he had no choice but to reconcile with Syria after George W. Bush left the White House and Barack Obama, the new US President, began to forge a new relationship with Syria [Obama is preparing to send an ambassador to Syria for the first time since 2005, when the US withdrew its envoy from Syria following the assassination of Rafic Hariri].The report said the Pentagon has proposed to provide Lebanon with Hawker-Beechcraft AT-6 or Embraer (NYSE:ERJ) Super Tucano planes to improve its capabilities in reconnaissance missions and counter- insurgency operations.
Hezbollah is now officially part of the Lebanese government, and the Lebanese/Hezbollah alliance couldn't be any tighter than it is at the moment. So clearly, these attack aircraft were not intended to be used against Hezbollah.
But of course, Hezbollah could use these aircraft to strengthen its own military/terrorist operations... Hmmm...
Murr met with several U.S. officials including U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday, according to As Safir.Give President Obama credit where credit is due. He is taking full precautionary measures and doing everything within his power to make sure Hezbollah is safe and secure.
Anyone doubt any longer where his sympathies and loyalties lie?
Cheers!
Did you ever read something so incredibly cognitive dissonant that your brain simply refused to accept that it exists, and so you stare at it - literally - unbelievingly?
That happened to me when I read this headline/article.
Israeli target practice. As soon as they are delivered.
Do you think American Jews will understand finally that this guy is not a friend of Israel?
Yeah, that is what Hezbollah needs; some spotter aircraft to help in the aiming of their “dumb” rockets...
This will give the Israeli’s something to target practice at...
Those of us with common sense knew from the beginning that Obama was not a friend of Israel, but the far left of the Jewish community gets all the press and is delusional about him
“I have seen the enemy, and he is us!”
The Jewish community would vote for Hitler if he was a Democrat!
why doesn’t nobama admit it: he hates non-mooslim civilization? it must be hell for him to realize what he is.
Be afraid, Zionists! Be very afraid.
Liberal American Jews won’t care because liberal American Jews aren’t a friend of Israel!

I thought he was Anti-war? Geez, I must have misunderstood what he said during the campaign.
The American jews dont seem to care about Israel. They keep voting for pro islamic lefties who hate Israel more than the damn muzzies do.
When I read some of the Pres. Obama’s decisions I feel like I'm in a dream world that's void of logic!?
The list, ping
