Obama: "look no further than what I have done — to stand up for Israel." - I"m Looking.


Obama: "look no further than what I have done — to stand up for Israel." - I"m Looking.

Obama: "But I’m also mindful of the proverb, “A man is judged by his deeds, not his words.” So if you want to know where my heart lies, look no further than what I have done — to stand up for Israel." 

The administration of President Barack Obama seeks to cut the amount of money Israel receives for its missile defense systems in 2013 by $6.3 million relative to the 2012 budget proposal, according to a report in the Washington Free Beacon.
According to the report, the administration requested $121.7 million in military aid for Israel’s missile defense programs in 2011. That number dropped to $106.1 million in the 2012 budget proposal, and is down to $99.8 million in Obama’s newly released 2013 proposal.

"Israel's staunchest Ally" - Obama admin sells one of the most advanced anti-ship cruise missiles to Egypt
The administration of President Barack Obama has approved the delivery of the Harpoon Block 2 missile to Egypt. Industry sources said Egypt would receive the advanced Harpoon over the next few months under the Foreign Military Sales program.“This will significantly enhance Egypt’s offensive naval capability,” a source said. On June 29, the Defense Department awarded Boeing a $145.1 million contract for nearly 90 Harpoon missiles, one of the most advanced anti-ship cruise missiles in the world. The order was meant for the U.S. Navy as well as four foreign militaries. “The first missile deliveries are scheduled for this August and contract work is expected to run through December 2013,” Boeing said on July 19. The sources said Egypt was slated to receive the Block 2 missile, which contains land-attack capability. They said Harpoon would be equipped on the new fleet of at least four U.S.-origin fast missile craft for the Egyptian Navy. The vessels were identified as the Ambassador Mk-3, produced by VT Halter Marine. In October 2011, VT dedicated the first FMC for the Egyptian Navy. Executives said the 62-meter vessel had been scheduled for delivery in mid-2012. The Harpoon project for Egypt has been delayed for more than five years amid the suspension of FAC production. The sources said Israel raised concern that the Block 2 Harpoon would change the military balance with Egypt.


Obama Admin planning to sell 200 Abrams M1A1 SA to Islamist Justice And Development Party Led Moroccan Government.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress today of a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco for enhancement and refurbishment of 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks and associated parts, equipment, logistical support and training for an estimated cost of $1.015 billion. The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco has requested a possible enhancement and refurbishment of 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks, provided as part of a grant Excess Defense Article (EDA) transfer notified to Congress on 27 April 2011, to the M1A1 Special Armor (SA) configuration.
The possible sale will also provide 150 AN/VRC-87E and 50 AN/VRC-89E Exportable Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio Systems (SINCGARS), 200 M2 Chrysler Mount Machine Guns, and 400 7.62MM M240 Machine Guns. The possible sale also includes 12,049,842 Ammunition Rounds (including 1400 C785 SABOT, 1800 CA31 HEAT, and 5400 AA38 SLAP-T), 200 M250 Smoke Grenade Launchers, support equipment, spare and repair parts, personnel training and training equipment, publications and technical data, communication support, U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance, and other related logistics support. The estimated cost is $1.015 billion. This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major Non-NATO ally that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in Africa.

Obama administration approves sale of tanks to Egypt. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has informed Congress that it has approved the sale of 125 M1A1 Abrams Tanks to the government of Egypt. According to the DSCA website.Something smells fishy. Selling tanks to Egypt at this moment in time is not unlike pouring gasoline on a forest fire. Is there any reason to believe that the present Egyptian government can be relied upon? Is there any reason to believe that the future government of Egypt can be trusted? On Friday there was yet another round of anti-government protests in Egypt. Earlier this week Ahmed Ezz al-Arab who leads Wafd (Egypt's largest secular party) revealed his full-on hatred for Israel and the Jewish people. Al-Arab sounded like an Ahmadinejad clone as he spewed his Holocaust denial rhetoric and claimed that 9-11 was made in the U.S.A. The most likely party to gain control of Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and has the objective of ending the peace treaty with Israel. This all begs the question of why Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton would be interested in selling tanks to such an unstable nation which is a powder keg of anti-Israeli ambitions. The Jerusalem Post reports: The Pentagon told Congress - which has 30 days to object to the deal - that the sale of tanks would "contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been and continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East."
The Pentagon further stated that the new tanks would "provide Egypt with a modern tank fleet, enhancing its capacity to meet current and future threats." With mountains of evidence all pointing towards the victory of forces that are openly hostile to our most valued Israeli allies, it would appear that Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton and the DOD are either blind to the situation in the Middle East or are intentionally threatening Israel. 
How much influence does Huma Abedin have with Mrs. Clinton? Ms. Adedin's (aka Mrs. Weiner) mother and brother have been linked to the Muslim Brotherhood in an American Thinker article last month. Will Congress step up to the plate and stop this sale? Mr. Boehner where do you stand? The $1.32bn foreign military sale of an additional 125 M1A1 tanks, which would bring the country's fleet to 1,005 M1A1 tanks.

And last : US reduces participation level in military exercise with Israel.The Pentagon has decided to reduce the number of US troops taking part in a joint military exercise with Israel planned for this month, Time magazine reported on Friday. The number of the troops expected to take part in the manoeuvres, which were postponed seven months ago, has been reduced by 60 per cent. Instead of around 5,000 troops originally assigned to "Austere Challenge 12", Washington will send just 1,500 soldiers and perhaps as few as 1,200, the magazine claimed. Troops aren't the only US participation being reduced: Patriot anti-missile systems will arrive in Israel as planned, but the crews to operate them will not, added the report. Instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships being dispatched to Israeli waters, the new plan is to send one, though even the remaining vessel is listed as a "maybe," officials in both militaries told the magazine.Meanwhile, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a senior member of the Israeli political-security cabinet said of the Pentagon's decision, "This is the Obama administration's response to the dinner party Netanyahu held in (Mitt) Romney's honour."
