Is Israel running out of Bombs?
The Replenishing of Israeli WMD stockpiles points to escalation both within and beyond the borders of Lebanon.
The Israeli air force confirms that it has led 3000 sorties hitting some 1,800 targets since the beginning of the bombing campaign (BBC, 22, July 2006). According to UN sources, close to a million people have been displaced out of a total population of 3.8 million. The country's civilian infrastructure has been destroyed.
The civilian infrastructure has been destroyed: water, telecommunications, bridges, airports, gas stations, power plants, dairy factories, etc. Confirmed by the British press, in towns and villages across Lebanon, schools and hospitals have been targetted with meticulous accuracy. in an utterly twised logic, the Israeli government has casually blamed Hizbollah for using the schools and hospitals as hideouts or launchpads to wage their terrorist activities.
"Pentagon and military officials declined to describe in detail the size and contents of the shipment to Israel, and they would not say whether the munitions were being shipped by cargo aircraft or some other means. But an arms-sale package approved last year provides authority for Israel to purchase from the United States as many as 100 GBU-28’s, which are 5,000-pound laser-guided bombs intended to destroy concrete bunkers. The package also provides for selling satellite-guided munitions.
An announcement in 2005 that Israel was eligible to buy the “bunker buster” weapons described the GBU-28 as “a special weapon that was developed for penetrating hardened command centers located deep underground.” The document added, “The Israeli Air Force will use these GBU-28’s on their F-15 aircraft.”
Moreover, a new draft resolution concerning Tehran's alleged nuclear weapons program, slated to be submitted to the UN Security Council, suggests that military action against Iran is being considered at the highest levls of the military command structure.
Under this plan, the Israeli Air Force would attack Iran's nuclear facility at Bushehr using both US and Israeli produced bunker buster bombs. Bear in mind that the bunker buster bombs can also be used to deliver tactical nuclear bombs. The B61-11 is the "nuclear version" of the "conventional" BLU 113. It can be delivered in much same way as the conventional bunker buster bomb.

As Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, Ms. Cheney's duties will include a focus on U.S. bilateral and multilateral efforts to support freedom, democracy and expanded economic and education opportunities in the Broader Middle East and North Africa.
Ms. Cheney has served previously in government, most recently as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs from 2002 to 2003. Prior to that Ms. Cheney practiced law in the private sector and at the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group.
It looks to me that the IAF have a "Fire at Will" Policy, targetting Schools, Hospitals, Dairy Factories - all of them full of Hizb'Allah members!
And while we are at Hizb'Allah - has ANYBODY SEEN ANY MEMBERS YET?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm....
I just see Dead Civilians - where are Hizb'Allah Soldiers?

Considering the attack on the Liberty, and clear indications that Israeli intellegence had foreknowledge of the 9-11 attacks, we should be expediting deliveries of PGM's to the IDF.
From B-2's at about 40,000 feet
Unfortunately between AIPAC, "Christian Zionists", and Likhudnik neocons in the DoD it's not going to happen.
Israel could set off an h-bomb in downtown Manhattan, and you'd still have people here in the US defending them.

You are such a propagandist...while I know and won't deny lots of Heroin does come through the middle East , Israel is far from the innocent little puppy you try to make it to be. Either you are not aware or you are purposefully claiming ignorance to the large amounts of Extasy as well as other designer drugs that come directly from Israel. They are the #1 suppliers of Extasy in the world. Stop tryin to play us for fools. There are more scammers and schemers there then anyplace else. 1/2 of the worlds spyware problem derives from israel. Stealing our information seems to be a great Israeli hobby. Puhleez innocence doesn't even come close by for a visit there. It just waves and keeps going.

I am just skeptic - since IAF has flown around 3000 sorties, attacking 1500 targets, from Dairy Product Factories to Airports, and everythign in-between, killing around 400+ Lebanese Civilians - where are the numbers of all the Hizb'Allah members killed, against which this Alleged War actually is? Do you have any of those numbers? Frankly, I never saw One Hizb'Allah "Terrorist" on ANY of the Photos from Lebanon. Why is that?

Strange thing. I live in a area where there is a large Arab community and I see flyers for an Israeli moving company posted on the lampposts on an almost weekly basis. From a local moving company (Non-arab) I have found out that they are basically bait and switch firm where they advertise a price for a move but add-on a few more items, but the gist of it is that the Mossad seem to like Moving Companies as fronts. Move their furniture..plant a little somethin-somethin call the feds and Oh look its arab terrorists LOL or maybe just monitoring. Do our authorities monitor these Mossad guys or are they given free reign throughout our country?
Lol, those 5 Million people that happen to live in Israel out of the 6 Billion in the world, are "Gods choosen people"
Biggest Merchants of Death and Destruction; (complaints are in proportion to sales)
".....the 1952 Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement and subsequent arms agreements between Israel and the United States limit the use of American military equipment to defense only.

IDF choppers in service of drug cartel
American officials demand Israel provide explanations for how U.S.-made choppers sold to Israel ended up in service of Columbian drug cartel. Incident may cloud relations between countries
Itamar Eichner
Another diplomatic incident threatens to taint U.S.-Israeli relations: The American government has recently demanded Israel clarify how five U.S.-made helicopters sold to Israel in the mid-70s found their way into the hands of a Columbian drug cartel.
An U.S. embassy official met with an Israeli foreign ministry official in Jerusalem several days ago, where he informed him that the American Foreign Ministry has requested the embassy to launch an investigation into the matter.
According to American sources, the military copters currently serve the drug mafia in the South American country.
Top diplomatic sources fear that this incident will once again heat-up tensions between Israel and the U.S. and cloud the strategic dialogue between the two countries, which is scheduled to renew in November, after talks were suspended for more than a year-and-a-half.

It is obvious that Israeli spies functioned in Israel to spy on extremist Arabs.
...
Mossad agents would not act like idiots in the land they are spying on.
...
They were illegally working in the US (no green-card) making money and saving it up for a trip (as most Israelis do after the Army)

Pieman,
I fail to see the significance in all this. Aside from irrelevance to the subject and systematic mudslinging I do not see what it is you are trying to say.
Is this an act of desperation?
