Like Billions for jihad?
Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

The mainstream media remains silent on this but the www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164”>International News has now picked up the story — and then there is Obamas $108 billion IMF bailout scheme in addition to the Supplemental.
We also give billions to China. Why?
The aid we send Jihadis if far greater than what we send Israel, especially since the jihadis leverage cheap, imprecise weapons like suicide belts and car bombs. Israel must use surgical precision for counter attacks.
Israel would come out ahead if we cut off all foreign aid.
