| Greece is barring any shipments using their ports to deliver weapons to Israel? |
| 2009-01-13 |
| In thinking about it, we just got done moving an incredible amount of ammunition to Israel back in December that was recently delivered, and yet Israel is already looking for two more shipments of more ammunition? In terms of weight, at least according to the Reuters article, the amount of ammunition needed to be shipped is enormous. That kind of gives the impression Israel is stocking up for the long haul. But that isn't where this story ends, unconfirmed reports as of a few hours ago suggest Greece is barring any shipments using their ports to deliver weapons to Israel. Should get interesting. |

| #2 The thing is, none of that shipment is earmarked to go to the Israeli military. Those are US arms and ammunition that are going into a US strategic Middle East stockpile. In case the crap hits the fan someplace, we wouldn't have to ship weapons/ammunition all the way from the US or Europe. Those are US stocks for US use. |

| #1 the amount of ammunition needed to be shipped is enormous. Wasn't the number around 3,000 tons? Not all that much really. The InfoDesim fella seems to be fading out somehow. |
