What have gotten for this "money well spent." Let's put emotion and religious arguments aside for a minute and be hard-headed realists here. U.S. aid to Israel has been the stated rationale for multiple attacks on our forces and has drawn us into two extremely expensive wars. One of the wars brought to power a symathizer with the Taliban, the other made Sadr into a kingmaker.
What have we gotten in exchange for this support which nobody can deny has pissed off every single country in an entire region? I suppose you could argue that Israel is a "reliable ally" but even that is not true. Reliable allies don't spy on each other. Israel, like most other countries, is motived by its own perceived national interest regardless of whether that national interest conflicts with our national interest.
Hey, Pat. How are things on MSNBC?
“. U.S. aid to Israel has been the stated rationale for multiple attacks on our forces”
Cartoons serve as the stated rationale for attacks on our forces.
“and has drawn us into two extremely expensive wars.”
Truther nonsense. Arab muslim terrorists flying into buildings in NYC drew us into two wars.
