War

President Biden was facing a conundrum with the arms to Israel ship so he reached a compromise. He will send the first billion plus which includes $700 million for tank ammunition, $500 million for tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds. To compromise he will not send 2,000 pound bombs. Setting up procedures not to kill certain groups is the way war has been carried out in recent years. One of the most extreme examples was during the Gulf War when caravans of trucks carrying Iraqi oil to Turkey were not bombed for fear of killing the drivers. Also in that war there was a chance to bomb Saddam in house in a neighborhood so they used a 2,000 pound bomb filled with cement instead of explosives. It turned out that Saddam was not in the house.
