| Obama Reportedly Blocks Israel Missile Shipment |
| 2014-08-15 |
[ISRAELNATIONALNEWS] A new report reveals that US President Barack ObamaIf you have a small business, you didn't build that... 's administration stopped a shipment of missiles to Israel late last month and tightened weapons shipment procedures to Israel, as tensions between the two nations grow amid Operation Protective Edge. The report in the Wall Street Journal, released Wednesday night, cites US officials in Obama's administration, who say they discovered Israel had requested a large number of Hellfire missiles directly through military-to-military channels. An initial batch of the missiles was about to be shipped, according to sources in Israel and the US Congress. At that point, the Pentagon stepped in and put the transfer on hold. Further, top White House officials instructed various US military agencies to consult with the US State Department before approving any additional requests from Israel. A senior B.O. regime official was quoted in the report as saying the transfer shouldn't have been a routine "check-the-box approval," given Israel's defensive operation in Gazoo against Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the US. The decision to clamp down on future transfers was the equivalent of "the United States saying 'the buck stops here. Wait a second…It's not OK anymore,'" said the official. A Israeli defense official confirmed the reports to Walla! on Thursday, saying "the US delayed a shipment of Hellfire missiles to the Israeli airforce." He added "apparently it was (done) on the background of national tension" with Israel. Obama has been at odds with Israel over the defensive operation in Gazoo, making various attempts to press Israel into accepting a truce with the adamant terrorist organization of Hamas. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu reportedly responded to the pressure by telling the administration "not to ever second guess me again," after Hamas committed one of its many ceasefire violations. |

| #6 I don't think they would cap the President, but they may certainly dig up enough dirt on him, and see it's available to everyone, everywhere, to destroy him. They may even already have it. Oh, I'd love that. |

| #4 The Mossad has been known to make hits in other countries. I don't think they would cap the President, but they may certainly dig up enough dirt on him, and see it's available to everyone, everywhere, to destroy him. They may even already have it. Obama is digging really, REALLY deep holes for himself. |
