I have no real issue with funding to Egypt or Israel... those are long term, strategically vital, expenditures.
I'll tell you what I am surprised about. The US has just agreed $100m to fund further security for the UN building. No other country is contributing.... just us. Explain that one to me.
Get the hell out of here with that nonsense CG, we've been funding Egypt and Israel for a long, long time now and what do we have to show for it? Two attacks on the WTC, the second of which brough the towers down and even greater spending on two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which has accomplished nothing as far as our nation's security, don't be so damn dense. Our aid to those two countries has reaped us nothing in return.
You clearly have no knowledge of military strategy.
It is quite difficult to be proactive when and if necessary if you do not have access to a target WHEN NECESSARY from a close border.
You obviously have no idea as to how valuable the Suez Canal is to our national needs.
Thats OK. You are an ideologue. You are all about what is best for everyone without considering the consequences. An idealist if you will.
Hey...I agree it is a great idea to give everyone a million bucks......but I also recognize the consequences will be so severe it will prove to be detrimental to all of the people.
I am a realist. You are an idealist.
You'd think, since I mentioned that already, he would know that.
Sadly, Egypt won't be our ally unless we bribe them to be so. Israel would be, so there is no need to send them money.
