JIM YOUNG/REUTERS - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry jokingly checks his height compared to a student, who was used as his stand-in for rehearsals, before the start of a town hall meeting with students in Addis Ababa, Ethi*o*pia on May 26, 2013.

DEAD SEA, Jordan — Hoping to use economic promise as a bridge to a peace deal between Palestinians and Israel, Secretary of State John F. Kerry announced an estimated $4 billion economic development proposal for the West Bank on Sunday that he said could cut the 21 percent unemployment rate by two-thirds.

How about using this to build some bridges here at home?

 

[S.J.]

How about using it to cut the deficit?

 

[Lipush]

Hope they use it for something normal and not for terror.

Economic development won't succeed there unless Israel allows it. Which it probably won't. The US might be better off donating that money elsewhere until things improve.

We are all for economic development in the WB, why should we be against this?

Because America is broke. Remember the sequester? We cant afford to give little kids a tour of the whitehouse.

Be patient. Kerry is always for things before he is against them.

 

[RoadVirus]

A bridge collapsed in a US State last week, but oh well! We need more "economic development" in the West Bank! Priorities, people!!

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Just another example of say one thing and do another by our government.
Obama, the campaigner in chief and chief spokesperson for the administration, has been touting about "rebuilding our infrastructure" from day one - and the sheep clap their hands and cheer everytime he says it.
But in reality.........

Is this what you Libs meant by spending money on infrastructure?

 

[freedombecki]

Be patient. Kerry is always for things before he is against them.

Yep. He's for spending but against paying it back.

 

[dilloduck]

He needs Jewish support to run for pres.

Horrible thought

 

[Katzndogz]

Kerry is a major failure. He can promise anything he wants to, but since he's pretty much a liar anyway his words should be taken with a grain of sand.

My Way News - FACT CHECK: Kerry dishes some iffy claims abroad

He lied in Africa and is lying in palestine too.

Did any of you actually read the article?

International business leaders rallied by former British prime minister Tony Blair will propose new agricultural, construction and other investment to the Palestinian Authority that could increase the Palestinian gross domestic product by 50 percent over three years, Kerry said.

The State Department would not identify participating companies or provide other details about the content or timing of individual proposed investments. The money would come from the private sector, not U.S. taxpayers.

Right.

Why blame Israel for what these savages won't do for themselves? The savages need to wake up and become non-savages to do such things.

 

[Rozman]

Are the poor and downtrodden here OK with this.
This means less Obama Bucks for them...

 

[Rozman]

Aw who am I kidding...

This is walking around money to this Obama regime.

 

[Rozman]

I'm sure before he left Obama pulled Kerry aside and asked him if he knew how to make it rain?

 

[Rozman]

To which Michelle quickly replied she knew how....I'm not quite sure how she knew...
