UPDATE: US Cancels Munitions Shipment To Israel Via Greece

01.13.2009 | Morningstar.com

WASHINGTON (AFP)--The U.S. military has to had to cancel a planned shipment of munitions from a Greek port to a U.S. warehouse in Israel due to objections from Athens, a Pentagon spokesman said on Tuesday.

"I think the Greek government had some issue with the offloading of some of that shipment in their country and so we are finding alternative means of getting that entire shipment to its proper destination in Israel," spokesman Geoff Morrell told a news conference. "I don't think we've come to a final resolution on how or when that will take place."

Anyone who wondered "why they hate us" simply hadn't been paying attention. Hint: It's not "because we're free."

Still no mention in our newspaper of record that Al Qaeda has issued a statement titled "A Call for Jihad to Stop the Aggression on Gaza".

I only mention it because it sounds like it might be have some bearing on the well-being of the American people.

(Nothing in the message about the Caliphate or a hatred of freedom.)
