How then do you explain Israel buying.....
3000 2000-pound laser-guided bombs,
1000 1000-pound laser-guided bombs and
500 500-pound precision-guided bombs.
For $139 Million.
And as the article states...
The most important number noted above is the huge number of 2000-pound PGM’s – these are heavy, penetrating munitions needed to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities.
(Iraqi) WMD storage bunkers in Syria?
I think this move is to deter future threats. Sales of this sort take some time. I think we will have to do it if Iran is to have a bomb by 2005. Israel won't be ready in time to take out the facilities.
