Foreign Aid Bill Passes Overwhelmingly

The US Senate overwhelmingly passed the fiscal year 2002 Foreign Operations Appropriations bill by a vote of 96-2. The Senate version of the foreign aid bill, is similar to the version passed earlier this year in the House. It contains $2.04 billion in military aid and $720 million in economic aid for Israel, as well as important provisions which enable Israel to maximize the benefits of the aid such as payment of the money in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year.

$2.7 billion for Israel, and a 96 to 2. And GWB wants to increase foreign aid. It is clearly unpopular.

Now's when you say congress is bought and paid for by AIPAC and the aid to Egypt is to protect Israel.
