The international community has provided the Palestinians with a great deal of money over the years, only to see it frittered away through fraud and waste. But with new leadership now in Ramallah, and the chance for peace high, we can afford to risk a little more when so much is at stake. I'm speechless.

BILL FRIST 2008WHAT AMERICA NEEDS IS A GOOD FRISTING!
To: GOPGuide
Ummmm...why should we foot the bill? The islamic world is sitting on hordes of oil reserves (and we all know what oil is selling for these days). Let the "rich" islamic countries foot the bill IF they want to their Pali buddies to live there.
As I've stated in another thread, I've just about had it with these idiots...both in Congress and in islam.
It's time to write our congresscritters and tell them NO financial aid to any islamic country under ANY circumstances....period. To do so will invite the wrath of their constituencis and the American people as a whole in a tax revolt event that will make the Boston Tea Party look like a kindergarden game....
Idiots...all of em.

Me too.
There is still Billions (IMO) in off shore banks and in thousands of pockets which was given to the Palestinians over the years.
Many people are living high off the hog on our money to this day. Let the new government go after it.
Heck, the Widow Arafat's upkeep on her luxurious life style dollars could probably fund what ever the Palestinians need.

Overhaul Palestinian institutions and govern with transparency and accountability.
Good luck!
Show the Palestinian people that their needs are his priority, and that progress will be made through negotiation, not violence.
Good luck!
Disarm and disband militants, because ending terrorism is the prerequisite for peace in the region.
Good luck!
Ensure that arms aren't smuggled into Gaza for terrorist operations against Israel.
Good luck!

Hell, why don't we just nuke Israel for them. What an idiot. This is our "conservative" leadership in the senate...good grief.

Well, it is also the President who has this obsession with the Roadmap thingy poo. We have enough on our plate with Iraq, Afghanstan and the rest. Let the Israelis deal with Abbas and gang as they see fit. The Palestinian Authority really isn't worth going out of one's was for at the moment. Abbas is just another Arafat (not as ugly, though). The question I have to ask ; Is this Frist's own brain fart or was he prompted by the White House?
To: GOPGuide
How about Pres. Abbas acheive the objectives FIRST, then we give him money. Otherwise, we are just funding the problem.

Well now, let's see... Hamas is now a 'political party', so I'm guessing much of any money we provide will go to them, and don't we all know what a friendly bunch they are?
Their stated goal is the destruction of Isreal, do we really think they're going to suddenly change their minds because they were 'voted' into the political process?

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.
It the US is a participant, and buy's into the "progress" the PA is making toware ending incitement, dismantling terror, and becoming a free and democratic state, then we have to be willing to write the check. The problem isn't the aid, but more likely the fact that we're whitewashing the nature of our "palestinian ally".

I don't think Frist has a shot at the presidency. We need a conservative governor to run. Like maybe Jeb Bush. Can you imagine the left wing melt down if another Bush were elected president. It would be hilarious.

Stupid Republicans and their idiot Demorat friends think they can throw the Taxpayer $$'s at anything their STUPID brains can think of and especially if it will buy a vote ...a total moratorium on tax paying is absolutely necessary!
