This is a significant increase in the IMET program..it budgets for training foreign soldiers in the US in our military and civilian schools..in some cases civilians are sent to courses in work in the government.

This includes the Command and General Staff College; the War College;..West Point;..Infantry Officer; Training;..Ranger Training.

English Language Training is the first step. Some of the foreign students are authorized to bring their families..and we pay for it.

Worked IMET and Foreign Military Sales for 6 years.

There was a famous IMET student..few know about..a young officer named Muammar Gaddafi.

Some of these military students will be Muslims.

Djibouti, Ethiopia

I'm as skeptical, and maybe more so, than your average citizen as to the foreign relation of this administration, but I am aware that the Horn of Africa (HOA,) is less than 20 miles from Yemen - a radical Islamic bridge into Africa, and one with which our military has strategically place itself.

same as the money going to the Palestinians which means to hamas increase immigration form the middle east too. we know damn well that he cares nothing for the white man or white countries by now *his comment saying he want blacks hispanics and women to come and vote)plus he did say he will transform this country if he cares so much about Africa then help those white farmers being killed every day and bring them here. After all we need good workers, English speakers and good farmers to do their new energy corn programme. nah course not never in my life I would have thought I would have seen a president playing racial politics while in the white house the media disgust me as they cover nothing and twist the facts for their messiah even if he slaps them in the face

We have to worry and be cncerned about Obama feeding the radicals in various African nations , designed to usurp stable goverments, just like Obama did in Kenya by campaigning for the orange party. His involvement and council, running a neo colonial black power campaign, resulted in inter tribal genocide in Kenya.

Obama is a nasty fascist, and he will promote that black power nationalist view in Africa, we have to be very concerned should Obama start supplying the orange Party in Kenya with tanks, armored vehicles and crew served weapons.That is likely altready being secretly planned, so that Kneya can put to death its democracy and abandon itself to the left and Muslim tyranny.

Most of them will probably be Muslims, and many of them will be supporters of whatever hideous regime is in place in their countries. But why should we expect otherwise from Barry, who said he would “stand with the Muslims.” Using our dollars to lean against, of course.

Well, whoops! there goes the rest of Africa...50% muslim already, and bye bye Kenya. Arabs back in their element.

Read ‘Dark Star Safari’ by Paul Theroux. Many South African blacks are already saying; ‘wish the white man would come back’.

Gee! Who knew Obama approved of fratricide! Now even more civil wars can be conducted, and even more African dictators can enrich themselves on our dime.

I think our Pres may admire Robert Mugabe. After all dear Robert came to power in Rhodesia, spouting conciliatory platitudes and only gradually turned the one African country with good schools and hospitals, well run agriculture, and splendid resources, into today's third world cesspool called Zimbabwe--and, incidentally, himself as permanent dictator.

But...but...we don’t have any money. Remember, medicare is breaking us! Just who are we borrowing all this money from to turn around and hand it over to another country?!?!?!?

Thanks for the ping, mojitojoe:)
