US troops are helping Egypt prevent "arms smuggling" from tunnels in the Rafah border-crossing, as Israel continues its attacks on Gaza.

NBC anchorwoman and chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell said Sunday that US military officers from the Corps of Engineers had been stationed on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing in order to prevent "arms smuggling from illegal tunnels" by Palestinian fighters.

“ And there are US Army Corps of Engineer personnel on the ground right now on the Egypt side looking at the tunnels to see how Egypt could be reassured that there won't be continued smuggling through on that," she said on Meet the Press.

The US and Israel say the tunnels are used for smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip. Israeli warplanes have bombing the Rafah border to destroy the tunnels.

Tunnels between the two sides of the Rafah border crossing have been almost the only way for Gazans to obtain food and medicine after Israel besieged the costal strip in mid-2007, after Hamas took control of the region.

Meanwhile, Israel pushes forward with its offensive on the Gaza Strip.

At least 551 Palestinians have lost their lives, and some 2,790 others are reported wounded -- most of whom are civilians.

Despite international calls for an immediate halt to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said earlier Monday that the ground incursion would be continued until the objectives are reached.

Someone needs to get Gaza some anti-aircraft missles.

Gaza does not need Egypt's help. The people are united and will fight to the death, compared to their enemies (israeli soliders) whom fear for their life, dont have a connection to the land of gaza and are not motivated to the level of the Gazans. Hamas has invited Israel to send its best troops to fight them, Israel must be stupid if it thinks they can invade the main city streets, they are not fighting a few hundred they are fighting tens of thousands who are hidden around each alley and corner. All these cowards can do is drop white phosphorus, depleted uranium and 4000 pound cluster bombs
Israeli soldiers have proved time and time again what cowards they are. The cowardice of the jewish armies goes back thousands of years. The army of Taloot (david (as) was in his army) before they even got to face goliath, most of the army had been sent home after being put through specific tests. All Israel can do now is destroy mosques, school, hospitals , homes and civilians

Holy shit, this is horrible news.

I remember when I first started posting here I had treated American troops on a case-by-case basis, since I had some friends who had signed up pre-9/11 and were stop-lossed and didn;t like being over there, etc, etc

Not anymore. I have nothing but contempt for the US Military. This is disgusting.



I hope you're right. And I agree with Tim, that's a fantastic avatar.
