Rice goes to the Arabs for requests such as not to fund Hamas and gets her head handed to her. If Israel can't be bullied, the foreign policy establishment would have no success at all.

US wants a veto on Israel arms sales for 98% reasons of competition.

"US wants a veto on Israel arms sales for 98% reasons of competition."

How can you be taken seriously with that comment? I support Israel just as most freepers do but that doesn't excuse some of their decisions with respect to arms sales. Competition? They are reselling our technology. If we wanted to end the competition we could be much more direct. Like it or not we supply Israel so the idea that they have a right to compete falls on deaf ears.
