Apparently Israel is planning on having to spend a long time
defending itself. As
reported
by The Prowler a month ago, shortly before Colin Powell’s recent
trip to the Middle East, Israel in early April ordered more than
forty F-16s from Lockheed/Martin. Now comes word that the Israelis
have doubled the order, at a price tag of about $12 million per
jet. No delivery date has been set for the first jets, but the
order is a big boost for Lockheed/Martin, whose lobbyist in
Washington cleared the logistics of the sale with both the Pentagon
and the White House.

“Everyone is on board this one,” says a White House source. “Israel has to defend itself and this upgrades their air force considerably.”
p> QUEEN SHAHEEN br> Yesterday we saw Cincinnati’s Democratic mayor exhibit disdain for Bill Clinton . Now a top Democrat who would like to have Clinton’s old job isn’t showing him much respect either. /p>
