Israel does not have a monopoly on insanity. America gaining ground.

(1/1)

zachor_ve_kavod:
I would say that Israel is still the largest producer of domestic insanity globally.  But America is quickly gaining ground.  Read this article and you will be amazed at just how much progress America has made in this area.  Israel is not the only country to need a national couch.

The Bush administration proposed increasing aid to Jordan by about 50 percent.

The memorandum of understanding signed Monday would increase assistance to $660 million a year over the next five years: $360 million in economic assistance and $300 million in military aid. Those amounts last year were $263 million and $200 million respectively, for a total of $463 million.

The proposal is non-binding and is seen as more of a guiding principal for the next administration, based in part on Jordan's role in nurturing the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, particularly through training of Palestinian security forces.

It was signed in New York by Condoleezza Rice, the United States secretary of state, and Salah al-Bashir, the Jordanian foreign minister, during the launch of the United Nations General Assembly.

The agreement "reinforces our commitment to work together on a range of important issues – including advancing security and stability in the region, and encouraging economic development and political reform," a statement from the U.S. State Department said.

       My guess is Foreign Aid is unconstitutional.     Especially of the variety that the country that receives the aid,   isn't obligated to pay the money back.   


      Aiding a country like Jordan,   that would love to destroy the United States,   is nothing short of insane.      This is bad from both an economic and national security standpoint.     This doesn't even touch on the most important implication of this decision,   the biblical implication.     Though the Democrats are much worse,    G.W. Bush continues to act like a Liberal.
