UK agrees to Israel-arms stopovers

US aircraft carrying weapons to Israel would be allowed to make stopovers at British airports if they observed the correct procedures, Britain said today.

"As long as proper procedures are followed, permission will be granted for such flights," the foreign office said.

It was not clear whether both military and civilian airports were covered by the announcement.

Two US military cargo aircraft had refuelled on Sunday at Mildenhall, a British-US base in eastern England. They had been diverted from Prestwick, a Scottish airport near Glasgow, where there was a demonstration against the conflict.

The previous weekend, the arrival of two US military aircraft at Prestwick caused a minor crisis between London and Washington because the United States had not informed Britain of the hazardous nature of their cargo.

The BBC said the diversion to Mildenhall followed a call to British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett from a minister with responsibility for Scotland who feared political repercussions.

At least six US aircraft are reported to have landed in Britain en route to Israel carrying arms.

The next time Briton's bacon is in the fire we need to let them let them tough it out or perish.
I'm sure they won't be "fighting on the beaches, fighting in the fields and the streets ..." they'll just wimper away and either convert to islime or be beheaded ... I just want some pictures of their faces when in their final moments on this earth they finally realize their folly.

Zec 12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
