#2 I'm very suspicious of the $20 million handout too Jules. I don't favor $.02 of taxpayer monies going to anyone in this country. They voted these crappers into control. Let them deal with it without our monies. Let the EU step forth and put its treasure where its loose lips are.

#3 Agreed, why does not spending money cost so much?
Reminds me of the lovely Spousal Unit: yesterday, she informed me that we saved $30 on this purchase that until she did it, neither of us knew we needed.........

#4 I gather the 20 million is to act as seed money for several non-terrorist groups in the Gaza and West Bank, that are working for true accounting and transparency in the PA's budget. Also, some of the groups mentioned have been stressing the idea of real negotiations with the Israelis, instead of the PC hudnas we have been seeing.

#5 #5 I feel sad about it too. But maybe, just maybe, $$$ will actually for worthwhile cause e.g. ammo for force 17.
