Good.

 

[Squibbs]

The whining old men and whining Jews are at it again.

It never ceases to amaze me how so many Americans think US foreign policy should be run from Tel Aviv.

 

[blobfish]

I hope that Israel bombs the shit out of Iran, and then they both fall into the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, respectively.

Some of the RW circle jerk are upset because we're down to just one war.

Are those the same "RW circle jerks" that authorized Operation Odyssey Dawn?

“Basically what the Americans are saying is, ‘We don’t trust you,’” a senior Israeli military official tells TIME.

Damned straight.

Obama already sold Israel bunker buster smart bombs that GW Bush refused to.

Now they want even more help?

 

[LinearMan]

It seems to me that the older people get, the more they want to bomb shit. Can't figure that out.

 

[fgarvb1]

Except for his on agenda he is the most two faced person I have ever known of.

 

[ChinaBandit]

Putin has no respect for Obumbler.

Hu Jintao has no repsect for Obumbler..

Bibi not only has no respect, he has genuine dislike for Obumbler too...

These are major problems for US foreign policy.

Bullshit.
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.

"...U.S. and Israeli officials tell Newsweek that the GBU-28 Hard Target Penetrators—potentially useful in any future military strike against Iranian nuclear sites—were delivered to Israel in 2009, just several months after Obama took office."

You dick_daily brother
Next time post more of the article, but then you would go against your self.

In 2007, Bush informed Ehud Olmert, then prime minister, that he would order the bunker busters for delivery in 2009 or 2010. The Israelis wanted them in 2007. Obama finally released the weapons in 2009, according to officials familiar with the still-secret decision.

Did Obama sell Isreal bunker busters, or not?

Bush refused to sell them while he was in office.

No obama didn't and hasn't sold any to Israel
Bush was the one that made deal just happened to fall under obama to release it and later recalled them.
There was some classified stuff that was going on that pushed the deal back to 09-10 release we might have need them.
Obama trying to take credit for something he didn't do.

Back to the original question:

Should the USA back Israel if they decide to strike Iran?

Newsweek, the NY Times, JPost, etc etc disagree with you.


A small amount of research confirms that Israel was concerned the bombs may have had defective fuses:

What makes anybody think Israel can bomb Iran anyway?

This is in your own links

Israel had sought this class of weapons for many years. In 2005, the Bush administration notified Congress of a pending transfer to Israel of bombs designed to destroy buried targets. “This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country,” a news release from the Defense Security Cooperation Agency stated.

Subsequent notifications of plans to sell Israel different models of bunker-busting weapons were sent to Congress by the agency again in 2007 and 2008.

But the weapons were not given to Israel at the time. Pentagon officials were frustrated that Israel had transferred military technology to China. And there were deep concerns that if the United States supplied bunker-busting bombs to Israel, it might be viewed as having tacitly endorsed an attack on Iran.

In the interim, Israel developed its own bunker-busting bomb, officials said, but the American variants were viewed as more cost-effective.
