#1 Wasn't our 2 billion in support of Israel balanced with 2.5 billion in support of Egypt to prevent a war?

#2 Actually it's been $2 billion a year since 1978. Thanks Jimmy Carter!

#3 Another distinction between Carter's (Dems) economics and Bush's (Reps). Bush makes a one time $70 mil payment for Afghan peace and Carter decides on a $88 billion program that hasn't resulted in anything except Cairo now has a Metro built by the French and Israel has to build a wall around their country to keep safe.

#4 The other day I heard pn the news that Egypt(We gypt the Americans)had denied the use of thier territory by U.S. forces.Well now it seems we have a 2-3 billion dollar carrot/stick we can use.No baseing rights,no money.Egypt can eat camel dung+sand stew.I am reasonabley sure the Yeminies and Djoubuties would just love a 2 billion dollar infusion of cash.I realize the pc liberials might object to this but they can take a handfull of Egytian sand and pound it.Same goes for the rest of the world if you want our help and support we demand yours.
(bunch of damned ingrates)
