Sounds like money well spent to me. They can make good use of it to kill those who would kill us.

To the extent that Israel can access the equipment, I agree. But I find it highly unlikely we'd ever make use of it if it had not already turned to radioactive slag. Would the US really insert troops into the kill zone if things had deteriorated that much or would be simply be bombing the surrounding countries back into ... well, further back into the stone age?
