U.S. House Approves Enhanced Cooperation with Israelby dailyalert |
By
a vote of 411-2, the U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday
approved the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of
2012, sponsored by Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Minority
Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). In addition to expanding military
cooperation between the two countries, the legislation states that it
will be U.S. policy to provide Israel with essential military
capabilities to preserve its qualitative military edge in the region.
With an eye toward a possible confrontation with Iran, the legislation recommends that the U.S. provide Israel with "air refueling tankers, missile defense capabilities, and specialized munitions" that could include bunker-busting bombs. (Zach Silberman - JTA)

My novel Rebirth, shows how Israel didn't have America's backing like they do today. American support was there, but is was "under the wire". Peek at the reviews on amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Rebirth-Dave-Longeuay/dp/0983905800/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336686889&sr=8-1
