War "boats" to the Lebanese army

Of course, we all know that the US is behind blocking any serious attempt at arming the Lebanese Army.  On behalf of Israel, the US wants to keep the Lebanese Army weak and to prevent it from possessing missiles and air defenses (and even sea defenses).  Yet, the US embassy in Lebanon makes regular announcements about the delivery of silly versions of weapons: like used vehicles, buses, bullets, etc. The other day, the US embassy announced that the US government provided the Lebanese Army with "war boats"--I am not making this up.  We don't even use that expression in English. These are small dinghy boats equipped with light sub-machine guns.
