Shortly after Vice President Joe Biden's Israel visit ended on March 11 in high dudgeon over the approval 1,600 new homes in East Jerusalem, US president Barack Obama ordered a consignment of Joint Direct Attack Munition- JDAM already on its way to Israel to be diverted to the US Air Force base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia. This step, the pointer to a US arms embargo for preventing Israel attacking Iran's nuclear sites, is first revealed here by debkafile's military sources. US military sources describe the consignment as consisting of 387 JDAM kits for attachment to the warheads of 2,000-pound BLU-109/MK-84 or the 1,000-pound BLU-110/MK-83 bunker-busters for their conversion into smart bombs. On March 13, debkafile disclosed that the Obama administration was pondering withholding from Israel military hardware that could be used for an Israeli attack on Iran. In late February, we reported that defense minister Ehud Barak had submitted to defense secretary Robert Gates a list of the items Israel required urgently to stand up to a four-front assault by Iran and its allies - mainly air force ordnance, certain types of missile and advanced electronic devices. Barak made it clear that all these items must be present in Israel before the outbreak of hostilities. The requests were so urgent that the minister proposed that if Washington was reluctant to hand them directly to Israel, they could be stored for the interim in the big American emergency depots in Israel's Negev.
The 387 DJAP kits were due for delivery at one of the Israeli Air Force's Negev bases in March. Because of his concern over the US president's step to divert the shipment, prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu decided to take the defense minister with him to Washington next Monday, March 22 and have him present

Thanks, President Farrakhan
Obama is a Skunk!
The Enemy Within.
78% of American (liberal) Jews voted for Hussein and they still love him. He could fly to Tehran and with CNN/MSNBC in tow, meet with Amenidijad, have toats then O would press a button and nuke Tel Aviv. His Jewish voters in America would cheer. Amazing.
True colors coming out - and Corporate Media reports NOTHING! What we have heres is a MUSLIM-IN-CHIEF, make not mistake!
Our president BLOWS!
Freeing them up to use nukes. Good.
This is Debka...
But they are probably right on this one.
Israel will, do what it has to do to survive. Then watch nobama curse them. nobama is a destroyer...of civilizations. Pox upon all those who voted for him and support him.
John Boehner
Post of the day.
The problem with lefties like President Dipsh!t, is that they can't comprehend focused, serious men, woman and peoples.
Israel has what it needs and will be fine until this current crop of pinheads is voted out of office.
Israel does not need bunker busters. They have other ways and means. These JDAMs were not bound for Israel in any case, they were headed to Iraq, which we are supposedly phasing out. No real bunkers in Afghan. Stratfor has info on this. Debka, not so much accurate.
I am becoming so ashamed of this nation, thanks to the liar in chief.
Israel won't die.
But America...?
The Anointed one, included. Cut-outs could come out of the woodwork.
Neither the US or Iran can defend the Middle Eastern oil fields, and Russia would love to see them all gone.
Israel has the MOST powerful weapon in their arsenal... God Almighty! Read Ezk 38-39. Israel is saved from it’s enemies... Russia (Gog) and Iran don’t fair too well OTOH!!!
We and Israel are in so much danger with this idiot at the helm.
