Daschle Says U.S. Must Support Israel
New York Times ^

Posted on 04/22/2002 4:18:23 PM PDT by hawaiian

Get a load of this article with Dash-hole, severely in 'moonwalk' mode, trying to tell pro-Israel groups that he and the Dems will support Israel. After all the pro-Palestinian rallies and rabble-rousing, he's making himself look like an ass, just like Gore did today.

You're point is well made, I find the arguments here that since Israel spends much of the $4Billion aid for US goods we somehow "get it back" to be plain silly. We're still giving that much away. However, I also think janetgreen's post #35 is well made.

In general, I am opposed to all foreign aid. I will, however, point this out: Isreal is the only country to which we have given foreign aid that shows any appreciation for it, or which can be counted on as an ally. At this point I am ready to strip Egypt, Jordan, the Palis and any other nation/group who has not stepped up the plate and strip them of their aid for the sole purpose of giving it to the Isrealis. IMHO!

Tom and the Daschle Democrats are holding Americans hostage to Middle Eastern oil cartel. How can anyone possibly believe that this man and his gang of liberal, and socialist sympathizers have America's best interest at heart. It appears that all this group of malcontents have on their to do list is to destroy Republicans with lies that go unfortunately mostly unanswered or unchallenged.

In the meantime, our President appears to be leaning leftwards for whatever reason which is such a bummer because I have been supporting and cheering for him but lately truly it has become quite confusing. Sort of feel a like door mat getting walked all over by my political party as they all are looking like a bunch of RINO's.

The DemonRats will pander to the pro-Israel people, get their votes, then throw them to the wolves. Always happens.

Yes. When will the American Jews wake up. Come to think of its, when will American blacks wake up. The DemonRats need VICTIMS, not problems solved. Makes one wonder why they insist on being referred to as "progressives". What progress? No major social problem to which they have attached themselves over the past 30+ years has been solved by their efforts! Improved race relations in the USA has mostly come from a combination of the Republican-sponsored equal rights initiatives of the 1960's, natural social evolutionin a civilized society, and economic self-interest (e.g. excluding productive citizenry from productive enterprises is bad for business).

Yah, I know but I did not want to make a big deal out of it. Economics does not seem to be a strong point on FR!:-)

I have in the past earned a baccalaureate in electrical engineering with a minor in economics (magna cum laude), and a master's in business administration (with honors). However, I am seriously HTML challenged :>)

I tend to agree with you about foreign aid, because I think the countries receiving it get "addicted" to it, and I sometimes wonder how many of the leaders have Swiss bank accounts. How much of our foreign aid really goes to the purpose for which it was intended? If it did, why are the third world countries struggling more now than they have in the past?

After zillions of our dollars, which of these countries are any better off? Now America is the "bad guy" because according to Klintoon and Elton John and who knows who else, we're not digging in our pockets enough. I think it's a big scam to eliminate the middle class in this country. Smells like globalism and socialism to me. I guess I'm getting old and cranky.

The annual donation is nearly 4 billion.

Of which $3.3 billion goes towards creating jobs for Americans at Lockheed MArtin, McDonnell, Boeing, etc.

And it fills me with pride every time I see the splendidly-trained IDF pilots flying our awesome American hardware into battle against the evil Arab terrorists. It's like the pride one would feel in giving the finest cello in the world to Yo-Yo Ma and listening to the brilliant result.

All Americans should be proud of every plane, copter, tank, missile and bullet we send to the blessed Israeli Army.

"I heard - on Rush I think and other media - that the Israelies are required BY LAW that they have to use a great deal of that $$ to buy goods etc., from the USA. Not a bad deal for us I'd say."

I'm sorry, but that is an incredibly moronic statement. Say you give me a ten dollar bill, with the requirement that I must buy your watch with it, would you feel like an idiot at the end of that transaction? Or would you feel like a moron?


Hint: it's a trick question.

Never said I was not! But, I will admit that it is a lot of money. It is also one of many reasons to bring this un-ending debacle to a end. Military or otherwise.

More Bravo Sierra from Mullah Shorty Das$$hole.

By blocking drilling at ANWR and other sites in American, Da$$hole paid back the Opecker Princes for all the under the table money that he and the enviralists get from the Opecker Princes to keep us dependent on OPEC Oil. The Opecker Princes have been funding all of the envirals and their Rat/Rino senators for decades to make us more dependent on Opecker Oil.

Every petro $ that we send over to the Opecker Princes has a certain % of each dollar going to financeD al Qeada, al Fuqra, and of course the PA militant groups trying to kill every Israeli for the last 4 decades.

Mullah Shorty Da$$hole is the most dangerous man in America to the safety of any Israeli. He keeps us dependent on Opecker Oil by lying and saying he does it for the environment. Then our petro $'s flow back to the Opecker Princes, who have financed al Qeada for 10 years and the PA terrorists since the 1970's and late 1960's.

The moment we become independent from Opecker Oil and our petro $'s stop going back to the Opecker Princes, you will see terrorism and the growth the Islamic Fanatics drop as fast as the petro $'s drop.

Arafatty has been approving the financing of every terrorist bomber for decades, every act of terrorism and other actions to kill Israelis. A large portion of his funds come from the Opecker Princes and Saddam.

DASSHOLE = REAL AND PRESENT DANGER TO EVERY ISRAELI!

If the title alone is to be judged, it is the most nefarious tripe I have heard spewed from the mans mouth. I smell a trial balloon here. Everything else seems to be failing for the left for "something" to run with. However, this trial balloon, IMO, will turn out to be another led balloon (I know, led is lead...but I digress..).

These idle statements come too little too late. This to me is nothing more than a search for a "base" for November and '04. Something to garner some dense population city votes.

I am so angry with Rush I`m about to rediscover country music. Today he said Powell was a coward and that is just wrong. I was a big Rush supporter but that was just too much. Forget Powell`s Vietnam service, how about last week when he went into a war zone twice? Collin Powell works for GWB who is trying to end world wide terrorism. The Israeli`s, and their press is full of reports about this, are screwing up America`s war and Powell and GWB are trying to get things back on track. Rush seems to not care about that. The Israeli P/R machine is very powerful and Rush seems to be a useful idiot.
