Obama's Foreign Policy and the Future of the Middle East





Obama's Foreign Policy and the Future of the Middle East

A while back, the United States set out to reconfigure the Middle East. The result is that the region and our position in it are both in shambles. Much of what has happened seems irreversible.



"After all that we've had to overcome, our Congress should stop standing in the way of our country's success." —President Obama

There is a BILLION dollar stockpile of US weapons in Israel







U.S. Has Sold Ammunition to Israel Since Start of Gaza Conflict
In the last week the U.S. has provided Israel with tank rounds and illumination rounds for grenade launchers requested as part of a foreign military arms sale.   The weapons came from a $1 billion stockpile of ammunition stored by the U.S. military in Israel for that country’s use if needed for an emergency.



A BILLION dollar stockpile of  US weapons in Israel? Gaza is going to be nothing more than a hole in the ground.
