Under Sequester, U.S. Giving Islamists $500 Million
Posted 07/29/2013 06:49 PM ET
Mideast: The sequester has "cost jobs," says President Obama, and "gutted investments in education and science and medical research." But somehow he's earmarked $500 million for Hamas terrorists.
Circumventing Congress and with no fanfare, President Obama last week issued an executive order enabling him to send an additional $500 million directly to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank much of which you can bet will wind up going to the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist organization.
According to Obama, "it is important to the national security interests of the United States to waive the provisions of" Congress' legislative restrictions "in order to provide funds . .. to the Palestinian Authority."
At the beginning of his first term, Obama promised close to $1 billion in aid to the Palestinian Authority, with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledging none of it would reach Hamas.
But the Hebrew-language newspaper Yediot Acharonot has documented that tens of millions of dollars in aid for the PA from Israel ended up being used by Hamas for weapons. If Israel can't guarantee its own aid is safe, how can we?

How much of this is hush money to keep terrorism in America low? What happens if he wants to let them loose?
When do get to the “Guns Prevent Tyranny” parts.

What country is this of which the Current Occupant of the White Hut speaks? The territory of the nation once known as “the United States of America” has been taken over by an alien ideology, and the rule of law has been replaced by the rule of men. Whatever legal code that had once been the standard for determining civil and lawful conduct has been largely discarded, and new determinations are based on the expedient outcome and the greatest benefit to a particular chosen few.
When laws are passed, they are both largely unread by the legislators, and when it comes to executing the letter of these new laws, the person who took a large part in writing of the law airily dismisses those portions that prove too difficult to impose, while claiming benefits for this new body of law it cannot possibly deliver.
Disagreements are silenced, not by a convincing line of argument, but by devious and probably what once would have been illegal measures, demonizing and destroying opposition.
Fear and intimidation seem to be pretty powerful tools in the hands of the Current Regime.
$500 mil? Have we forgotten he already gave them $500 mil on the day he signed the sequester? That’s right... Cut US military benefits, furlough DoD employees, and cancel White House tours but give Hamas $1 billion.
