Arming of Hezbollah Reveals U.S. and Israeli Blind Spots

While Iranian missile supplies to Hezbollah, either by sea or overland
via
Syria, were well known, officials said the current conflict also
indicated
that some of the rockets in Hezbollah's arsenal - including a
220-millimeter
rocket used in a deadly attack on a railway site in Haifa on Sunday -
were
built in Syria.

I'd ask the author of this article, "...and what of it?" The US supplies
the Israel and the IDF with MILLIONS of dollars in weapons and weapons
systems every year.

This article is is designed to pitch a Syria/Iran "axis" to vilify.
Government  Propaganda.

Apparently, the NYT has others like Judith Miller in dual employment.
