With friends like Obama, does Israel stand alone?.

Were The Munitions Delivered To Diego Garcia Meant For Israel All Along?

In a story yesterday titled United States readies attack on Iran, there has been speculation in some quarters that deliveries of bunker buster bombs to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean have been to prepare the United States for an attack on the nuclear facilities infrastructure in Iran.

It now appears that these munitions may have been meant for delivery to Israel and were instead diverted by the Obama administration as punishment for the Israeli plan to build settlement houses in Jerusalem.

This is consistent with Obama administration treatment of all Israeli requests for military aid. Since President Obama entered the White House, most if not all Israeli requests for advanced weapons systems have been denied.

According to a congressional source, “This is really an embargo, but nobody talks about it publicly.”

Punishment For Settlement Houses Compromises The Security Of Our One True Friend In The Middle East

The Obama administration, unhappy over the announced plan to build settlement houses in East Jerusalem, is taking a wrong turn in the method of punishment. Denying Israel the ability to defend itself would be like dropping your child off in gang territory, wearing the colors of a rival gang, as punishment for staying out past curfew.

Given the speculation during the presidential campaign that now President Obama might not be the best friend of Israel, his actions, or lack thereof, speak volumes more than any words ever could.
