Stocking Up

It seems that Israel is stocking up [pdf] on gasoline and jet fuel.
WASHINGTON, August 5, 2010 – The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress today of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Israel of unleaded gasoline, JP-8 aviation fuel and diesel fuel for an estimated cost of $2 billion.

The Government of Israel has requested a possible sale of 60,000,000 gallons of unleaded gasoline, 284,000,000 gallons of JP-8 aviation jet fuel, and 100,000,000 gallons of diesel fuel. The estimated cost is $2 billion.
Uh. Oh.

    My guess is they're doing some contingency planning for the Hezbollah, who are starting to look vulnerable.
