Its a joint Israeli-American project. Israel isn't getting U.S dollars as a welfare recipient sucking its thumbs and sitting on its ass. No our dollars come back home and it ends up benefitting the US tremendously. People should look at examples like this before they complain how costly our assistance to Israel is. As far as I'm concerned, its a bargain.

Bargain? I'm guessing neither you nor your loved ones were making a flaming leap from the WTC. In exchange for U.S. taxpayers buying Israel and Egypt military equipment Jimmy Carter gets a Nobel Peace prize and thousands of Americans get killed.

Bargain indeed! I'm sure the U.S. couldn't develop and buy this technology without buying it for Israel too, right?

That's quite a leap in illogic, as well there, Slinger.

I'm guessing you didn't support Lend Lease or D-Day either because those weren't our fights, either?

If the Israeli's are helping in the development (for example, not the least of which providing a test launcher captured with Israeli soldier's blood from Hizbollah) then I welcome their contributuion rather than going it alone.

Time to readjust the tin-foil buddy. I'm guessing that you don't remember that Israel was just about the only country not dancing in the streets on 9/11/01. You tow the leftist line of blame America and Israel first quite well.
