Why are we doing this?
They will only buy bullets and bombs to kill us with it.

“Why give them anything?”

Because George Bush is absolutely committed to spending your money and mine to support TROP...and his Wahabbi buddies in Saudi want it that way.

Seriously, isn’t there an end to this? Saying it’s pouring money down a rathole is insulting to ratholes.

Disgusting but not surprising. George Bush is searching for a legacy -- one which will initially be at Israel's expense, but ultimately damage all of us. His prior strong stance against terrorism in any guise has been completely overturned. Remember his "for us or against us" motto? Does he really believe the so-called Palestinians are for us?

The kind boggles, the stomach turns.

There is karma that comes from giving 1/2 a billion dollars to terrorists, murderers, and slavers.

But then America's protected, shielded, leaders really don't give a damn, do they?

We could train just as many terrorists in this country for a fifth of that. We could then sink the whole lot en route for free...

There goes the money for the fence.

There goes the money which could have fought the coming incurable tuberculosis epidemic.

There goes my last femtogram of support for Pres. Bush.

President Bush (2001):
