Israel Matzav: Why the Israeli foreign ministry called an American blogger

Why the Israeli foreign ministry called an American blogger

At Pajamas Media, Connecticut Yankee's Bob Owens explains why he got a call on Monday from the Israeli foreign ministry:

This morning, I was contacted by the Israeli Foreign Ministry about a photo I had blogged about on July 15, 2007, regarding a Shiite rocket attack on U.S. forces in Iraq.

The rockets recovered by the Israeli Navy last week, bound for terrorists in Lebanon, are identical to those Iran provided to Shiite militias targeting American soldiers in Iraq. There are numerous similar reports of Iranian weapons being shipped to the Taliban in Afghanistan, including one cache uncovered just two months ago.

The top photo is one of the rockets recovered in Iraq in 2007. The bottom photo is one of the rockets recovered from the ammunition ship that was headed for Hezbullah that Israel intercepted last week.

On October 4, 2001, then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon tried to convince the world that the same people who pulled off 9/11 were also attempting to destroy Israel. Those people were and are Iran and the Islamist terror groups it supports. Then-President Bush rejected Sharon's efforts. President Obama is continuing with the Bush policy of ignoring the fact that Iran is arming America's and Israel's enemies.

Does anyone other than Obama and the American Left believe that Bush was right and Sharon was wrong?
