U.S.
to Sell Precision-Guided Bombs to Israel

"Amid growing concern that Israel might launch a pre-emptive
strike against Iran's budding nuclear program, the United States
is moving ahead with the transfer to Israel of 5,000 heavy,
precision-guided bombs, including 500
"earth-penetrating" 2,000-pound bombs designed for use
against underground facilities.
The $319 million arms transfer, proposed by the Bush
administration June 1, went ahead after Congress took no action
during its 30-day review period, Jose Ibarra, a spokesman for the
Defense Security Cooperation Agency, said Wednesday. The deal is
being financed from this year's $2.16 billion military assistance
grant to Israel.
The transfer also includes 2,500 2,000-pound Mark-84 bombs, 500
1,000-pound Mark-83 bombs, 1,500 500-pound Mark-82 bombs and live
fuses. All the bombs are being fitted with the Joint Direct Air
Munitions (JDAM) kit which uses inertial guidance and beacons from
U.S. military Global Positioning Satellites for deadly accuracy.
"That's an arsenal for war," said Joseph Cirincione,
senior associate for non-proliferation at the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace in Washington..."
