Syria, Iran arm Hezbollah with improved missiles: US
Two days after Foggy Bottom says that Hezbollah didn't get any Scuds ...
| And last Thursday Hizb'allah said they got the Scuds but they were so old and decrepit as to be useless, so why is Israel fussing? |
28 April 2010 WASHINGTON - US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Tuesday accused Iran and Syria of arming Hezbollah with increasingly sophisticated rockets and missiles, saying the militia's arsenal undermined stability in the region.
"Syria and Iran are providing Hezbollah with rockets and missiles of ever-increasing capability," Gates said at a joint news conference with his Israeli counterpart, Ehud Barak.
| Oh, so Secretary Gates didn't just spontaneously speak out on the subject, he got a show'n'tell from his Israeli counterpart. |
"And we're at a point now, where Hezbollah has far more rockets and missiles than most governments in the world,
and this is obviously destabilizing for the whole region and we're watching it very carefully."
