US tries to get its money back
After the departure of all those petrodollars you sent to the Bush family buddies over there in the Middle East so you drive down the block in your Hummer for a quart of milk, Our Dear Embattled Leader has divined a method to to call them home.
The Bush administration has decided to supply billions of dollars in advanced new weapons to Saudi Arabia, other Arab allies of the United States and to Israel, senior State Department officials and congressional aides said Friday.So by pretending that we give a shit about them, we get them to give us our dollars back. And isn't it nice to see ODEL implement his No Country Left Behind policy? Why does Israel always have to whine about not getting the biggest piece?
The arms and aid package, which the officials said is to be announced on Monday, is part of a U.S. initiative to reassure worried allies in the Middle East that despite its troubles in Iraq, the United States remains committed to the region. It also is meant to send a signal of resolve to Iran's increasingly confident leaders.
