The Barack H. Obama (pbuh) administration has held up Israel's request for Apache attack helicopters.
Government sources said the administration has held up Israel's request for the AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter. The sources said the request was undergoing an interagency review to determine whether additional Longbow helicopters would threaten Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip.
"During the recent war, Israel made considerable use of the Longbow, and there were high civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip," a source close to the administration said.

Civilian casualties in Israel as a result of mass rocket attacks from Gaza are, by contrast, to be rewarded with the usual hand-wringing and ineffectual bribery.
In related news, 79 percent of Jews in the United States approved of President Obama after his first hundred days in office, at 85 percent only Muslims gave Obama a higher approval rating.
