And This Makes Us Safer How?
Well, this should improve our image in the Arab world. Not.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration has authorized the sale of as many as 100 large bunker-buster bombs to Israel. One expert said the move should serve as a warning to Iranians with nuclear ambitions.

I wonder if that's because the Iranians have made it clear they are not afraid of US sanctions? And, because your day wouldn't be complete without some Newspeak:

"This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for economic progress in the Middle East," the Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a press release.

Although the proposed sale will give Israel a significant new capability to attack underground targets, the agency said the move would not upset the balance of military power in the region.

And the war in Iraq is going swimmingly, our skies are cleaner, the economy is great. Whatever.
