#1 I'm confused. Why do we keep training Palestinians?

#2 Because the non-elected US officialdom (and a large part of the elected one) is just as much an enemy of the Israeli People as they are of their own, TW?

#3 Smells like a Congolisa Rice and King Ab deal. Common sense and a bit of history would tell one to stay the hell away from that part of the world, save Israel. Have we not shed enough blood and treasury for those backward bastards? The Iraqi government is wasting no time in flipping us off. Like the most in that region, they are nothing more than currs that possess the amazing ability bite you as you feed them.

#4 Note that the base is 'large', is 'already built' , is in the western Jordanian desert near Iraq and will train Palestinians to deal with Jenin when Israel turns over security there.

Jenin is where the Israelis disrupted both Hizb'allah plots to attack Israeli cities and Al Qaeda plots to attack American cities.

#5 I didn't know you could train Palestinians. Other than to seethe and explode, I mean.

I saw that, lotp. It goes nicely with the training we've started with the Lebanese army, I suspect. November 5th would be a nice day for something to happen... if anybody in a decision-making capacity happens to want to consult my wishes.

#7 "I didn't know you could train Palestinians. Other than to seethe and explode, I mean."

No training needed for that, Steve.

It's genetic.
