Worse than we even knew.
Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Islamic terrorist group in control of Lebanon, used to boast that it was unbeatable because of its arsenal of over 100,000 missiles and rockets.
That arsenal, which was severely depleted by Israel before the Biden imposed ceasefire, relied heavily on a large collection of anti-tank missiles that could also be used against civilian targets, shelters and even, in the case of a Hamas attack in 2011 with a Russian Kornet, a school bus.
The TOW missile, originally developed in the 1960s, is a mainstay of the terrorist arsenal.
Hezbollah’s TOW missiles come from a variety of sources. The United States sold TOWs to the old Iranian government and after the Islamic takeover, the new regime cranked out copies called ‘Toophans’ which its Islamic terrorist networks have distributed to Jihadists around the region.
The Obama administration had also handed out TOW missiles like candy to Sunni Jihadists across the border during the Syrian civil war. Some of these were captured by Shiite Jihadists, including Hezbollah, fighting for the Assad regime and then transported to Lebanon.
Russia has been passing along to Iran the captured weapons that the United States had sent to Ukraine. Iran will attempt to reverse engineer our more advanced weaponry, but any TOW missiles will be directed to Hezbollah, the Houthis, Hamas and other allied terror groups.
But there is still yet another troubling question about the source of some of Hezbollah’s TOWs.
In 2015, the Obama administration announced its intention of selling 1,000 TOW 2A anti-armor missiles and 500 bunker buster TOW BGM-71s along with “launchers, containers, spare and repair parts, support equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment” to Lebanon’s military. But whom was Lebanon’s military going to fight?
The only tanks the Lebanese Armed Forces were likely to meet in battle were Israeli ones.
The State Department claimed that sending anti-tank rockets to Lebanon, “will enhance the foreign policy and national security of the United States”, without actually clarifying how sending missiles into a terrorist state and training the locals to use them would enhance American national security. It also argued that the anti-tank missiles would allow Lebanon to “meet current and future threats and provide greater security for its critical infrastructure” without clarifying who besides Israel might be considered as posing a threat to Lebanon’s infrastructure.
The Lebanese Armed Forces are a threadbare operation which made headlines for selling helicopter tours to tourists. Its military has been hardly active and exists as a jobs program, a way to soak up U.S. foreign aid and is functionally little more than a puppet of Hezbollah. The same military that could only afford $90 monthly salaries for its soldiers and was using choppers for tourism tours somehow needed $245 million worth of missiles from the United States.
Much of the LAF’s officer class came out of Hezbollah and top military leaders have been caught coordinating with Hezbollah. Training and arming the LAF is training and arming Hezbollah. And ultimately aiding Iran’s ability to use its proxies to start another war.
After the first delivery of anti-tank missiles, Obama officials claimed that they were needed to help fight Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria. The Obama administration also sent Bradley fighting vehicles, hellfire missiles, howitzers, laser-guided artillery shells, grenade launchers, 1,100 machine guns, including 800 50-caliber machine guns, 4,000 M4 rifles, half a million rounds of ammunition, and other equipment under the guise of helping the LAF fight ISIS.
The LAF however avoided fighting ISIS for years, apart from a few brief clashes, and then stood aside while Hezbollah engaged in a more prolonged engagement that ended in a ceasefire between the two terrorist groups while the LAF fiddled with the equipment we had given them.
The Obama administration had sent a fortune in weaponry to the LAF for a fake war in which Hezbollah and ISIS cut their own deal, while Hezbollah’s puppet army pocketed our weapons. And all of this armament was only a small part of the more than $3 billion in military aid provided by the United States since 2006 to Lebanon’s military which runs tours rather than fight.
But the real question is how much of that armament eventually made its way over to Hezbollah?
When Hezbollah barraged Israeli frontline communities with rockets and missiles in the months after Oct 7, did any of them come from the rockets that Obama sent to Lebanon?
During the 2006 war with Hezbollah, Israeli forces had captured Hezbollah supplies of TOW missiles carrying U.S. markings that had likely been sold to U.S. Muslim ‘allies’ in the region, but by providing TOW missiles directly to Lebanon’s armed forces, Obama may have cut out the middleman and enabled Hezbollah to benefit directly from U.S. weapons and training.
Obama had sent pallets of cash to Iran and provided an even bigger fortune in sanctions relief, but the transfer of anti-tank and bunker busting missiles to a military organization manned by Hezbollah operatives provided the most direct link yet between the administration’s support for Iran’s axis of terror and the carnage that it wrought in Israel.
Hezbollah attacks on Israel caused the deaths of civilians. And the Obama administration knew what would happen because as far back as the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon under the Clinton administration in 1999-2000, the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center described how “using American-made, tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided missiles (TOWs)”, Hezbollah continued its campaign of attacks on Christian Lebanese and Israeli forces.
American weapons were being used by Islamic terrorists to kill Christians in Lebanon.
The Obama administration was staffed by many veterans of the Clinton administration, including Secretary of State Blinken, who surely knew what would happen and did it anyway, and then went on to promote the same policies, providing yet more weapons to Lebanon during the Biden administration. And yet, as documented in a previous Front Page Magazine article, “The U.S. Sent Over $3 Billion to Hezbollah’s ‘Army’”, even at the very end of its time in office, reprogrammed millions in military aid for Israel to the Lebanese Armed Forces.
Rep. Greg Steube introduced the PAGER Act (Preventing Armed Groups from Engaging in Radicalism) to stop “sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to Lebanon.”
“For two years I filed an amendment to the annual State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations bill to eliminate funding to the Lebanese Armed Forces, as the money goes to Hezbollah. Republicans and Democrats continue to vote it down.”
American taxpayer money should not be used to arm Islamic terrorists.

Why would you expect any different behavior from a crypto-Muslim? The same guy who said the USA should support NASA because sending astronauts from Muslim Allie’s of the USA into space would “promote Muslim self-esteem” as if the “best of Allah’s creatures” need more pride and haughtiness?
Rob Porter says
A few things are evident, in recent times the U.S. has produced some treacherous administrations that have aided the country’s enemies and harmed the country’s friends, namely Israelis and Christians in Lebanon.
I regard Barack Obama the worst, Bill Clinton just a stupid ‘smart-ass’, and yet we can expect no punitive action against Obama. Obama’s ‘rules of engagement’ in Afghanistan aided the enemy and cost U.S. lives. After 16 SEALS and their entire helicopter crew were killed, a female crew member on a Hercules gunship flying above revealed that because of Obama’s rules they were not allowed to fire on the gathering Taliban below until they fired on U.S. forces. The Taliban then fired a rocket that brought down the helicopter.
The Jihad Watch news that “Russia has been passing along to Iran the captured weapons that the United States had sent to Ukraine”, raises the question of how hard-pressed Russia is in the war with Ukraine. If supposedly losing this war, why is Russia not using these weapons?

bo …a really, really evil and ugly ghoul. If he had stayed in a mozlum nation….he “visited all 57″…he could have headed one of those terror organizations. But, he landed in the States so he could “fund” the various terror organizations with weapons and money. That was one of his “fund”amental” things he wanted to do with the power he was so stupidly given.
satan is so proud of his son.
Rob Porter says
The fact is, the American people elected the disgusting Barack Obama, some to prove they were not racist, and even after one useless term they returned him to office. He was a mess in regard to Afghanistan, Libya and shameful over his Benghazi debacle. His ‘red line in the sand’ in Syria turned out non-existent, and yet today this miserable liar and failure is able to strut around as if a champion.
I was amazed to read that General Stanley McChrystal who Obama fired for ridiculing him while McChrystal was trying to conduct – through Obama’s obstruction – the Afghanistan campaign, had voted for Obama. What kind of tough, red-blooded, special forces military officer votes for so obvious a fraud, liar and fairy like Obama?
somehistory says
I believe there was a lot of fraud in that “election.” Lots. And Black people voted for him because he presented himself as Black rather than mixed race. Race means more to some people than does honesty, integrity, character, ability.

Did Obama Send Missiles to Hezbollah?
……………………………………….
This would hardly surprise me…
Danh-Vo Mom says
No. There’s no surprise to me, because Husein Obama is a “hidden” jihadi whose job is to destroy America from within “for his Allah!”
Cynthia says
Love it being called the Pager Act considering what the Israelis did recently to Hezbollah.
No one should trust an army that is aligned with terrorist groups.
That was well known, so that could have bee intentional with Obama. He had quite an affinity for Iran.

Obama is a trader an should be executed for his treasonous action while President.

Let us be kind and consider two alternative as not being mutually exclusive: BO TRADED on his position as elected President to BETRAY the very nation over whose Executive he was presiding.

The deceitful Democrats fund, ally, and support Islam’s Muslims against America, Israel, and Non-Muslims to help gain more power and control. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL RELIGION UNDER WESTERN LAWS(Quran 2:216; 4:95; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,29,41,49, 21:921; 88,111,123;21:92; 49:15 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Criminal Enterprise of continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran. Fundamentally, Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah.
The FRUIT of Islam is incessant WAR, terrorism, discrimination, malice, and violence against all Non-Muslims; this FACT must be taught and broadcast to the general public to prohibit Islam, its Mosques, and its Schools. Also, Islam is an Antichrist System terrorizing Israel, Christians, and Non-Muslims. Plus, there is NO EQUALITY UNDER THE LAW in Islam or in Islamic Law(Quran 98:6-7; 9:29 and more). In Sahih Bukhari(V6,B60,N80), Abu Huraira narrates, “‘You(Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised for mankind.’ means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them[Non-Muslims] with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam[see Quran 3:110].” See also Quran 3:22,151; 69:30-32; 98:6.
Non-Muslims CANNOT have peace with Islam and its Muslims because Islam and its murderous god, Allah, demand a continuous, Muslim war against unbelievers where Non-Muslims are CRIMINALS under Islam when Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” HENCE, NON-MUSLIMS MUST MAKE ISLAM, ITS MOSQUES, ITS SCHOOLS, ITS ORGANIZATIONS, ETC. ILLEGAL UNDER THE LAW. Similarly, Islam and its many Organizations must be identified and publicly declared to be MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS for their funding, teaching, and support of terrorism, violence, and discrimination against Non-Muslims(eg. Quran 9:5,29,111 and more).
Western Muslims seek to ensure Islam’s legitimacy against Non-Muslim societies, to impose Islamic Law in Western Legal Systems, and to advance Islam’s totalitarian goals to conquer the West. Consequently, Islam promotes a limitless, terroristic, Muslim war against unbelievers when Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with THEIR MONEY AND THEIR LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”
Deceitful Allah promises Heavenly Paradise to Muslims for acts of Muslim killing in terrorist attacks against Non-Muslims and Muslim hypocrites when Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”

When will it be fully realised Obama is a Russian plant, foretold in Moscow early 1990’s, is a MUSLIM and secretly helps and favours Islam and Muslim nations and their causes. A dangerous person, HIS Agreement with Iran was NOT passed through The Senate,and not even signed by Iran ! Obama is a trojan horse, even the marriage supposed to be a fake, and daughters ” hired in ” and now returned to their REAL parents. Easy to check, where are thy now?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Not Russian, but muslim. He was influenced by jihadist advocates like Rashid Khalidi and others, and that bloc was solidly behind him when he came to power
Inadvertently, one good thing he did was scare Saudi Arabia by sending out feelers to Iran. It has been the Bush policy to shield the Saudis, come hell or high water, but Obama ended that by starting to empower Iran. Yeah, he did stick out for the Saudis as well by concealing that part of the 9/11 report that discussed the role of Saudis, including members of the royal family, in the attack, but his support to Iran really made Riyadh nervous. That partly contributed to MbS being such an enthusiastic compromiser when President Trump, in 2017 asked the muslim leaders meeting him in Riyadh to drive out the jihadis from their mosques and other public places. Had Obama still been strengthening the Saudis, Trump’s appeal might have gone unheeded
Walter Sieruk says
Such an insidious evil of Obama that had sent to Hezbollah is well within his scope treachery.
The many evils that Obama did are most despicable
One of them is exposed in book written by the scholar on Islam and Islamic terrorism Jamie Glazov , which has the title of JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH on page 9, the reader is informed that “America’s suicidal disposition in the terror war reached a crisis level under Obama when American officials actually started seeking advice and direction from precisely those forces seeking to destroy the country” Naturally for them likewise involves destroying the State of Israel.
When Obama was in the White House , therefore ,the enemy was in effect , advising Americans and formulating their policy on how to promote their cause.” Which of course includes antisemitism.
This is an absurdly of madness. This reveals the Obama was, as President, far worse than grossly incompetent, Obama was traitorous to both the American people as well as to the United State of America. Obama was therefore an affront and disgrace to the office of Chief Executive in the White House.
Therefore, the former President Obama in his Islamic subversion of America is not even limited to being a traitor to The USA but in his insidious he way and is dangerous to Israel , America and all the other nations of the West.
