WASHINGTON — The administration of President Barack Obama is delaying an upgrade project for Israel's military on the grounds that it could be deployed against Palestinian militants.

Industry sources said the Defense Department has taken measures to slow down an upgrade of Israel's AH-64 Apache attack helicopter fleet. The sources said at least three Apache helicopters have been awaiting an upgrade at Boeing, the prime contractor.

"The schedule has been repeatedly delayed because funding from the Pentagon has not arrived," an industry source said.

The true colors of Obama are starting to show.... and they aint red , white and blue! No stars and stripes, just crescents.....

Someone made a huge mistake and it could cost us our lives!

The list, ping

I suspect the Israeli’s can do this themselves. The losers will be Boeing and its workforce.

Any liberal Jewish complaints?? crickets......

DUH, I do not recall the last time the girl scouts launched missiles at Israel. Who does he think that we've been using our helicopter upgrades against? The French...Hmm.

My headline fix:

Obama said to block attack helicopter upgrades for Israel - might be used to kill terrorists

They might use them to deploy sausage pizzas, or even ham and pineapple.

[rahbert]

Yes they could, but they would have to redo a lot of stuff
already done. Electronics already have a lot of Israeli content, and that includes the US birds.

Perhaps I am missing something but what are we buying helo’s for another country? Why not buy more helicopters for ourselves. No wonder our country is so poor.

Without realizing it, Barry is double-dog-daring the Mossad to release his Kenyan BC.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

possible ping for your list.

muslims still live in the Middle East only because of the incredible patience of our Jewish allies.
God Bless Israel...

I certainly hope they do release it.

I have no doubt that the Israelis, as always, will “adapt, improvise and overcome”. The Brits pulled this a few years back over tank parts, and small shops around Israel took up the slack..an 0bamanation will never prevail..
