From the article-
“The White House and State Department have sought to regain greater control over U.S.-Israeli policy. They decided to require White House and State Department approval for even routine munitions requests by Israel, officials say.
Instead of being handled as a military-to-military matter, each case is now subject to review—slowing the approval process and signaling to Israel that military assistance once taken for granted is now under closer scrutiny.”
A senior U.S. official said the U.S. and Israel clashed mainly because the U.S. wanted a cease-fire before Mr. Netanyahu was ready to accept one. “Now we both want one,” one of the officials said.
Yes,and we know why the WH wanted a cease-fire don’t we?The best comment under that article reads-
“One only has to look at the sheer amount of appearances that Netanyahu has made on the Sunday shows and FOX to realize that he long ago dispensed with dealing with President Obama and has chosen to take his plea directly to the American people for support.”
Spot on I would say and further proof that Netanyahu is a skilled leader with a firm grasp of the situation he and his people face
FUCKING OBAMA PROGRESSIVE SCUM
We patriots will have our day – AND WE WILL FORGET NOTHING
further proof that Netanyahu is a skilled leader with a firm grasp of the situation
Gaza and the West Bank are still populated by sworn enemies of Eretz Yisrael. Until they are gone there can be no peace. Netanyahu could have solved the Gaza problem permanently – but then he stopped fighting. Whether that is Cowardice, or Treason, it is not the action of a skilled leader with even a basic grasp of the situation.
“Whether that is Cowardice, or Treason,”
It’s neither,it’s called munitions inventory,the US as predicted under Obama is not reliable for resupply.Israel’s supporters in Europe are also unreliable due to their muslim problem.While I am sure the IDF are capable in hand to hand combat I’m also sure they prefer to fight at a distance.
Israel doesn’t depend on the Yanqui for Jerichos or Popeye Turbos.
Hmm. So, just wondering….
if Israel has problems getting munitions from the US, which other countries could they get them from?
Agreed that Europe is out because of its muslim problems.
India comes to mind but the quality of their munitions (if they even produce any) may be dodgy.
I would like to think Australia would,I know mil spec Aussie rifle ammo is primo stuff
Out of Europe Germany oddly enough or not seems to be Israel’s best supplier.Recently they have collaborated on a few new weapons systems and they recently sold Israel some Submarines which were rumored to be Trident capable.
Plus there is that whole national guilt thing
“A managed democracy is a wonderful thing, Manuel, for the managers…and its greatest strength lies in a free press, where ‘free’ is defined as ‘responsible’ and the managers decide what is irresponsible.” — Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress
Is there any wonder why Obama despises Fox News?
Obama despises everyone in the world including his useful idiot lackeys.
This is part of the psychopathic traits displayed on numerous occasions by The Magic Negro and marks Obama as a subhuman; a wolf in human form.
Treasonous bastard.
I wish we had a leader like Netanyahu here in the US. Obama is a real downer.
Never mind.
The Golfer-in-Chief is practising his putting.
One day, historians will write, “as the world slid into post-Cold War chaos, he discarded suit and tie for the golf course.”
All a question of priorities, right?
It’s a message that Israel and the rest of the world needs to understand very clearly, none of us should tie our national security to the whims of an American president and his even more flaky voting base. You can get the most supportive president possible from America at times, but never forget it can and has changed in a matter of years leaving you literally swinging in the wind.
Perhaps someone else can step into help Israel out with their ammo needs, and make a healthy profit off course.

Great blog Robert! I would add it to the blog roll if I knew how
Anybody heard from KG and Gecko lately?
I mailed them today; no reply yet.
Hope all’s ok.
The gantt guy, I expect they are OK. They came from a brown, swelteringly hot, arid backwater where life itself is probably precarious, where the poor folk have to drink rabbit’s blood to survive in the dry season. The South Island is tough at this time of year for a warmie, but I reckon that they will survive. They are probably too busy buying thermal underwear in an actual shop to respond to your anxiety.
Yeah, but you know how sensitive KG is to the cold. Anything less than 30 Celsius and he needs to travel with his own private nurse!
Maybe frozen battery problems.

One of my uncles lived in Rotorua before he went back to Netherlands.

Meanwhile, in the Banana Republic of America, the Ferguson riots continue and “Big Mike” the alleged black victim of police violence was clearly at fault in his death, as the “smoking gun” tape testifies:
http://www.ijreview.com/2014/08/168698-eyewitness-recalls-important-detail-background-video-mins-ferguson-shooting/
…not that facts means anything in a Obama’ Banana Republic where governors are indicted for doing their jobs and corrupt traitor presidents get golfing holidays at taxpayer expense.
The irony here is that the missiles in question are those used in the iron dome system. If you think about it, those missiles protect the Palestinians every bit as much as the Israelis. If Israel didn’t have the iron dome system to stop the Hamas missile barrage, those Hamas missiles would be causing devastation in Israel, leaving the Israeli’s with only one option – a scorched earth, truly bloody devastation of Gaza (something I think they should do anyway). Effing Obama and his band of clueless minions are idiots.
Israel isn’t finished with Gaza yet and it may be reduced to a pile of rubble in the coming months.
Also, an Israeli re-occupation of the ruins of Gaza is looking good.
QUESTION? Why does Homeland Security think white militias, who have yet to fire a shot at the police, are a threat to the government, but rioting, looting and shooting black mobs are not

Not to mention the Hamas rockets the Iron Dome intercepts that otherwise would have fallen short and fell on Palestinian’s homes.
