I have a better idea. Send $230 million in smart bombs and guided missiles to Israel. Round 2 is coming up.

This won't make us any more popular around the planet, since we're 'to blame' in the first place [/Dem b.s.]

You betcha, Little Ray.

Sending dough to Lebanon for any purpose is like taking it out in front of the White House and burning it. No matter how much $ we send, those folks still hate us.

Really. I just dont get this. I dont want them to have one thin dime or penny for that matter. They created the conditions under which the Hezbos attacked.

I am sure the President is way ahead of you on this and had devised ways to prohibit any of this US from ending up in the hands of Hezbollah.

And thus Hezbollah rejoices at the prospect of new American financial support for its effort to rearm for Round Two with the Israelis...

Haha. I am so sure.

Fortunatly, the president can't spend one dime without permission from Congress. So lets make sure that they do not include aid to Lebannon/Hezbo Inc. in any appropriations package this fall.

Yes, let's rearm, house and feed Hezbollah... cheeze whiz???

That's the only thing they like about us is our money.

The Hez's were giving away reams of newly printed $100 bills the other day. Hot off their presses or N. Korea's...
