He is nothing if not stupid. It stands to reason that whatever aid you give them frees up other resources to buy weapons and ammo. This is basic logic.
Time to layoff 25 million worth of policemen and teachers.
If we have to borrow the money from China to give to them, let China give it to them.
Does anyone think this “nonlethal aid” will not be used for lethal purposes?
What a waste of tax money.
Nice. But we’re broke.
As John Adams said, we hope for liberty for all peoples, but we are custodians only of our own.
Maybe when Iraq repays us for ousting Sadaam, we can
afford to help out another rebel movement.
I heard today that some are calling for Kadafffi to be charged with war crimes.
how can people be accused of “war crimes” when there’s no “war” going on?
Apparently the CIA was in Libya and signed off on this. In a related development, the head of Yeman complained that women participating in demonstrations was unIslamic. The next demonstration there were large quantities of women taking part. Perhaps women (empowered by Facebook, Twitter, etc.) will keep the men from highjacking these movements for fundamentalism.
The commies always claimed that we’d sell them they rope they’d use to hang us. Now were giving it away!
the undocumented pRes_ _ent Obama:
"They will invest in nukes and shoulder missiles against American civilians."
They gave an extra $100+ million to Egypt and its going Sharia...
do you think their massive foreign aid will be stopped??
The MB must be short on cash.
This is wonderful! First we spend billions trying to kill al Qaeda, now we’re giving them $25 million in personal payoffs.
Shaazam! Al Qaeda is our friends! It’s magical that way.
Here’s an idea for obama - you can raise the 25 mil by selling arms to Iran. Whatever is left over maybe you can free some terrorists somewhere. It’s like I am in an alternate reality under an anti-Reagan.
Can you imagine Obama’s response if this was 1941 and the Japanese just bombed Pearl Harbor.
“Uhhhhh....we are officially going to send 25 million in “non-lethal” aid to the Philippines and uhhhhhh we will be initiating a uhhhhh military kenetic action in the south pacific, but only after we put it to a vote at the League of Nations first.”
Where on earth did Obama come up with this money?
Where is congress? We are creating another fiscal sink hole.
My new proposal:
F**k ‘em all. All of them. Drill for our own damn oil (or get it from Canada, etc), and tell them to go screw a camel somewhere.
Barry is a Clear & Present Danger to America!
When things like this go on, the entitlement crowd can rightly say “Hey, you’re blowing 25 mil over this so don’t tell me I can’t have mine”.
Regardless of whether they deserve taxpayer money or not, at least they’re Americans. This, like giving money to the Pali’s, is just madness.
Where’s the GOP outrage?
