The end result. if we pass this continuing resolution. is that we are sending marines in to defend the camps. yet we are continuing to increase the military arms supply which. to the rest of the world. is deemed to make us partly responsible for the massacre that has occurred. I think marines can die in Lebanon if Lebanese choose to exercise their anger against the continuing flow of American arms to Israel by taking action against the marines that are there. As a former marine. I think the Commander in Chief is right in sending the marines to Lebanon to seek to reestablish our credibility in our promise to protect the Palestinian refugees. However. I also believe that it would be deadly wrong for the Congress. immediately before the marines go in. to increase the free delivery of arms to Israel. as this bill does.
