A round of applause to the Greek
Washington - The US military has to had to cancel a planned shipment of munitions from a Greek port to a US warehouse in Israel due to objections from Athens, a Pentagon spokesperson 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," 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."
The shipment had been agreed last summer before the current Israeli offensive in Gaza, he said.
He said the United States had operated the munitions stockpile for nearly 20 years and that Israel "can ask for permission to access" the munitions.
He said he did not know the nature of Greece's objection and whether it was related to security or political concerns.
1. This is another reason to boycott american goods.
2. It seems other countries are doing more for the palastinian cause than the Aram Countries
3. Shame to the Arab countries
Eve, basically yes. Hamas people are not terrorists hiding in the mountains, they are normal people living with their families.
They are all Hamas eh? All the women and children are Hamas as well, Israel will face a future of hell for their actions.
hiding behind civilians?? They are civilians themselves, living with their families.
To me anyone that is not part of the solution is part of the problem. Its funny everyone keeps saying the Hamas is hiding behind civilians, THEN WHY WON'T THEY LET THE CIVILIANS LEAVE? Its too funny the current controversy in the US, Rice made a resolution and then had to abstain from voting for her own resolution as Israel told America not to abstain. The US is saying this is a lie but she did abstain the vote!! Its too funny, the US doesn't want the world to know how much power Israel has over the US. To think most of the death and destruction of Palestine is merely a Political ploy for the players in election in Israel to get elected! Wow I thought American politics were dirty but this is unbelievable.
"final resolution"?? is that something like "final solution"??
Apparently, this has been going on for a while. However, recently, the oopposition PASOK took up this matter in parliament asking whether the shipments had been approved by the government.
This caused the government to take the action..
