American Congressman Asks French President Not To Give Anti-Tank Missiles To Lebanese Army
December 23, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
Democratic house lawmaker Steve Rothman wrote a letter to the French president:
“As you know, Lebanon is in a precarious situation whereby Hezbollah is in a powerful position to usurp the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF). If this were to occur, Israel would be in grave danger of having your anti-tank missile used against her […] I agree in principle that strengthening the LAF against Hezbollah is an important goal, but I believe that providing the LAF with anti-tank missiles is neither helpful nor necessary in that regard.”
Yes, please Mr. Sarkozy, why don’t you instead sell the Lebanese red carpets and white flags for Israeli tanks that roll into Lebanon?
