What's going on here?! $86 million in military aid to the Palestinians? What happened to the President who said this:

"You're either with us or against us in the fight against terror." ~President Bush, Nov 6th, 2001.

The Palestinians are for damned sure not 'with us' in the fight against terror.

More money down the rathole that is the Palestinian terror-tories. Money can not fix the problems that exist in the region. Most of these people have never experienced and/or known peace and have no concept of what they should be fighting for. What to do?

Well now I know where the Palestinians are getting the M16's they use to attack thes Isreali's with. The Palistinians don't need more weapons they need less.

Not a chance. This money is going into foreign banks for expensive hookers, gourmet western food, porn and coke.

Pure play money for the Pallie elite.

A couple of years ago, Bush/Rice were demanding that Israel help arm the Palis.


The Bush/Rice Roadmap to Peace will go down in history as one of the worst policies ever devised.

The same folks who were dancing in the streets after September 11th? Sometime I have a very hard time trying to understand George Bush.

That makes me sick. Bush needs a brain transplant.
Between the illegals and the terrorist.
He has lost his marbles. Who's side is he on?
I would write my senators and rep, but everytime I do they send me back the same letter in response.
Where do I go to start throwing tea off a ship?
