| Israeli minister insists $4.5 billion water canal will help region |
| 2008-12-23 |
| A planned $4.5 billion "Peace Canal" to bring water from the Red Sea to the fast evaporating Dead Sea could benefit the entire Middle East, an Israeli minister said in Jordan on Monday. "I think that all the region will benefit from the project," Israeli Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told reporters. |

| #2 "I believe 60 percent of desalinated water will go to Jordan," he said, noting that the project's environmental studies will take "about a year and a half." The rest of the water would presumably go to Israel. Presumably... if the Israeli government doesn't give the rest away in a misguided attempt to buy peace. Liberals are insane. |
