Major concerns in US, over proposed US aid of $20 billion dollars to "friendly" Arabs

Today, Sunday, On CNN's LateEdition (with Wolf Blitzer), Both Rep. Charlie Rangel & D-New York Rep. Charles Shays, R-Connecticut, were voicing concerns against proposed US aid in $20 bn. to Saudi Artabia.

Charlie Rangel: 'They have no been our friends, it includes Arab nations such as: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, as well, and Israel should be nuts to agree to that "deal"'.

If anyone would have asked my humble opinion, in case I would have to concede to such a deal... I would put the “Stop teaching little kids that non Muslims are Apes and Pigs”, as the first condition.

Does this make me want to pay more in taxes for nutty crap like this? The answer is NO.

“non Muslims are Apes and Pigs””?
I didn’t know that.
Gee I thought Christians and Jews were children of GOD and others were heathens.

Sure you are right, Charlie is still a “nutty-Dem.-prof.”, but it shows us that the concerns are on bileteral.

Sure...we’ll trade the Saudis all that military hardware for oil at $20/bbl. for the next 10 years. Why should we deal with those robbers and brigands who fleece our country and finance our enemies in the Muslim world? Is this administration totally insane or just the most inept bunch to ever hold office?

It was his rare type of statement on the usual typical liberal CNN that caught my attention (man bites dog).

“If anyone would have asked my humble opinion, in case I would have to concede to such a deal... I would put the “Stop teaching little kids that non Muslims are Apes and Pigs”, as the first condition.”

I would insist that 1000 churches be built, the alleged “radical” imams are executed, all laws dealing with women being burqaed be removed and a permanent alliance with Israel is in place BEFORE the first bullet is shipped.

Other conditions would be put into place as a condition of continued supply. Other than that, no deal at all.

You do realize that in this case we are selling and they are buying. It an case like that, they send the money and we receive the money.

Apperently the moron wing of the “Conservative” movement learned absolutly nothing from their utterly stupid behavior over Dubai ports.

Amazing how these Know Nothings think they can spit endlessly in the faces of these people yet expect them to continue doing the bulk of the fighting, and dying, for us in the War.

Frankly I am surprised anyone trusts, or works with, the US Govt on anything given the rabid stupidity and knee jerk xenophobia in the US Junk Media and Congress.

Yeah, I just wanted to gripe about gas. There should be common sense conditions to us supporting them militarily though. My point is that they wont pay more to us, if there is a discrepancy in their budget for this I’d expect another ‘unexplainable’ hike in oil prices to cover it.

Gee I thought Christians and Jews were children of GOD and others were heathens.

Actual Pagans or infidels who need to find there way back into God's family.

The Koran (and hadith) says:

Qur'an 5:59 "Say: ‘People of the Book! Do you disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that has come to us and that which came before?' Say: ‘Shall I point out to you something much worse than this by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom He transformed into apes and swine."

Qur'an 2:64 "But you [Jews] went back on your word and were lost losers. So become apes, despised and hated. We made an example out of you."

Qur'an 33:26 "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before."

Ishaq:250 "The bestial transformation occurred when Allah turned Jews into apes, despised."

Ishaq:254 Qur'an 2:96 "We will not remove a Jew from the punishment. They know the shameful thing that awaits them."

To suggest the bible is the same as the teachings of Islam is ignorance.

Perhaps President Bush and the Federal Government could expleain to WE THE PEOPLE how it is that we can afford to give oil-rich Saudi Arabia $20B, but we can’t afford $3B for securing our Southern Border.
