Sorry about the triple post ... FR issues, I guess. I agree with you that funding, indeed all aid, should be cut until order is restored - and that’s what GOV Palin is saying. We are all in agreement!
Actually I wasnt quite clear. I dont think it SHOULD be restored. The Saudis and Russia quickly relieved us of that burden so let them continue.
Egypt is lost. Obama screwed them twice and that will never be bought back regardless of how much we give them to use against us.
IMO Israel is the one and only country we should fund or arm (HEAVILY). Yes WW2, I know. But since then they have been the scapegoat muzzies and the rest use to attack us by proxy. I believe we owe them for that. We held them back do many times it’s the least we can do.
As for the rest of the ME, Abandon it, drill here, Done. Let Europe deal with it and it it comes home to get us, then destroy it utterly.
