PA finance minister: We need 1b. euros in aid
2007-04-12
The new Palestinian Authority government will need 1 billion euros in international aid this year to "get back on our feet," Palestinian Authority Finance Minister Salam Fayyad said Wednesday. "We are looking for donor support to bridge the gap of 1 billion euros for 2007," Fayyad said after meeting with EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner. "This is assistance we need to get back on our feet."

#10  This reminds me very little of a famous ad in the New Yorker magazine.

It shows a bum asking a guy who is getting out of his Rolls Royce; "Could you spare twenty dollars for a fifth of Chivas Regal?"

#3  Glad they are asking for euros instead of dollars. Saves us the trouble of laughing, or worse, the Democrat congress actually giving it to them.

#2  And I, too, need One Billion Euros to regain my own financial stability. I can only hope that all of the above are equally forthcoming. Who are these artless fucks and why do they have an atom's credibility in the real world?
