U.S. To "Store" $800 Mil In "Emergency Gear" In Israel

Let's play with words, shall we? No one will notice

"The U.S. Army will double the value of emergency military equipment it stockpiles on Israeli soil, and Israel will be allowed to use the U.S. ordnance in the event of a military emergency, according to a report in Monday’s issue of the U.S. weekly Defense News.
The report, written by Barbara Opall-Rome, the magazine’s Israel correspondent, said that an agreement reached between Washington and Jerusalem last month will bring the value of the military gear to $800 million."


Little too much bad press last time.

flashback 7/22/2006 - US rushes cluster bombs to Israel

"The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon U.S. officials said Friday.
The decision to quickly ship the weapons to Israel was made with relatively little debate within the administration the officials said. Its disclosure threatens to anger Arab governments and others because of the appearance that the United States is actively aiding the Israeli bombing campaign
