Even Obama can't get in the way of this. Israel has strong support in Congress and on both sides of the aisle.
To: Star Traveler
This probably troubles Obama and his administration as they want to be on the side of the terrorists.
To: Star Traveler
He can delay it while he “studies” the request. Kind of like the Keystone pipeline.
To: Star Traveler
Oops, sorry, Israel, but we just ran out of money after giving another billion dollars to Iran.
Thanks for playing, though!

Too late ... already done ...
In a letter to the leaders of both houses of Congress on Wednesday, U. S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hegel wrote that the Department of Defense “has reviewed and supports this urgent request.”

“Missing”
“Hey, which one of you jokers lost the fire control?”

America - the world piggy bank that everyone despises but need. We are the Don Sterling of the world and it is V. Stiviano who will betray us for 30 pieces of silver.
To: Noamie
It’s the “language barrier” ... :-) ...
What that Israeli paper means is a shortage of parts.

Israel has a budget of $400 billion for 2014.
If anything, this should be a loan.

Watch Obama and Kerry try to tightly tie this to accepting a cease-fire/surrender/peace (piece) deal.

We shouldn’t be giving ‘foreign aid’ to ANYBODY.
To: gdani
could be a political ploy against “the won”

I completely support Israel's right to defend themselves... but why are we paying for it? Israel is a first world country with a first world economy and cutting edge tech industry. They used to build their own fighter planes, for cripes' sake. Why are we sending them foreign aid?

But, no. We'll pick up the tab. Again.

Israel has to beg for this even as the US pledges $47 million to Hamas.

I wouldn’t be surprised. They already have made it illegal for US airlines to fly to Israel, probably to last until the Kerry ceasefire is imposed on Israel in the next few weeks.

It didn’t sound like any begging here ... it was IMMEDIATE!
And Israel doesn’t beg in Congress for funds, as there is overwhelming support there.

Because Israel is the epitome of our Western Judeo-Christian heritage and culture, along with the freedoms that we have in our style of government - and the only one like it in the Middle East.
As has been pointed out before by others, Israel is fighting on the borders of the Judeo-Christian West, and HOLDING THE LINE for us in the West against hoards of mongrels in the Middle East.
If we supported my ONE COUNTRY in the entire world, that one country should be ISRAEL!
