Haaretz ^ | 16 Sept 2010 | AP

Posted on 09/16/2010 5:14:56 PM PDT by edpc

Senior administration and congressional officials say that the president believes it to be in the security interests of both America and the Mideast to lift holds on $100 million in assistance to Lebanon Army.

The Obama administration wants lawmakers to restore millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Lebanon's army that they suspended over concerns it could be used to target Israel.

And where will we get this money??????

I’m beginning to agree with people who think like this (from a post to a Pravda article)...

The United States has been overthrown by a Muslim usurper - Islamic agent of Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood who has taken every step possible to create an Islamic Caliphate in the United States, notwithstanding the Constitution he was sworn to uphold. He doesn’t care about the voice of the American people; he doesn’t care about the fate of elected Democrats in the House and Senate; he doesn’t care about the state of the economy; and he most assuredly doesn’t care about the rule of law. He is too busy making US into an Islamic nation.

He has no American expectations: he wants British healthcare; British socialism; and he has the same British acquiescence to Islamic fanaticism as seen in Britain. He didn’t even know there were only 50 states in the US. He doesn’t enter Christian graveyards; he gave the Shahadatan (the Islamic statement of faith) to the NY Times in Arabic without accent in 2007; he told the Foreign Minister of Egypt that he was a Muslim; and he abandoned the National Day of Prayer for an Islamic prayer meeting at the White House.

When he preached “hope and change” how often did he tell America that he was a Muslim jihadist/marxist communist who was bent on nationalizing American industry, abolishing the American middle class, and imposing Sharia law on America? Does anybody remember those campaign promises?

He is a bald-faced liar: He promised no lobbyists in the White House (he has hired a record number); he promised at least five days of public review before signing any bill (totally aborted with stimulus and health care - which he never read); he promised transparency, and has spent $2 million obfuscating his personal records. He practices taqiya - lying to infidels in support of jihad. He tells Americans that he is an American and a Christian, and then goes on to support a “victory” mosque at Ground Zero in New York. He is currently demanding that Sharia be imposed in Kenya (his home country), and is also tying funding in Pakistan to the imposition of Sharia through the supreme court.

Does he sound constitutional to you? Americans are now coming to grips with the fact that our presidency has been overthrown by a USURPER. His tenure is about to come to an end, and when it does, all of those who were in conspiracy with him will also be facing criminal charges, and little mercy from a very angy jury - the American people.

Why are we not surprised?

He wants to destroy the US and Israel simultaneously.

Lebanon
March 29, 2010
The Department of State continues to urge U.S. citizens to avoid all travel to Lebanon due to current safety and security concerns. U.S. citizens living and working in Lebanon should understand that they accept risks in remaining and should carefully consider those risks. This supersedes the Travel Warning issued on September 29, 2009 and updates information on security threats in Lebanon.

While Lebanon enjoys periods of relative calm, the potential for a spontaneous upsurge in violence is real. Lebanese government authorities are not able to guarantee protection for citizens or visitors to the country should violence erupt suddenly. Access to borders and ports can be interrupted with little or no warning. Public demonstrations can also occur with little warning. Under such circumstances, the ability of U.S. government personnel to reach travelers or provide emergency services may at times be severely limited.

U.S. citizens have been the targets of numerous terrorist attacks in Lebanon in the past, and the threat of anti-Western terrorist activity continues to exist in Lebanon. On January 15, 2008, a U.S. embassy vehicle was targeted in a bomb attack that killed three Lebanese bystanders. U.S. citizens traveling or residing in Lebanon despite this Travel Warning should keep a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel. U.S. citizens should also pay close attention to their personal security at locations where Westerners are generally known to congregate, and should avoid demonstrations and large gatherings.

Here’s the article in case you haven’t seen it:

http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/feedback/16-09-2010/114949-obama_fans_OMG-0/

Pretty bizarre that we are getting more from Pravda than our own MSM. Maybe it’s because Pravda was forced to live without the truth for so long.

I don’t want our money going to foreign nations until we fix our problems at home! Stop the giveaways. Obama is spending our money to clean African genitals. He needs to spend some money to clean his own African ears and listen to America!

Let’s say this is true. He is unimpeachable.The media gave him a pass; he was not vetted. He cannot be touched because of race baiting,profiling, political correctness.

I believe this is the only reason people like Christine are winning. WE THE PEOPLE are going to stop this in the election booth.

This is what the Marxist/Muslim has done with American tax dollars while Americans lose their jobs and homes:

.
Obama’s 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 http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
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 Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq

• Lebanon: $74 million

• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.

.

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/26990#
According to the Associated Press, the Obama administration will give away nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations. See the State Department document here.
