I don't think Congress still understands that "WE" can't afford our own country, let alone someone else's.
It's not like this money appropriation is for humanitarian aid, it's for more "WAR TOYS".
While Haiti is now being ravaged by Cholera, (which the humanitarian aid that the the US as well as the rest of the world pledged but reneged on giving could have helped to prevent)Congress has no problem wasting money to further stockpile Israels assurances of Middle East domination.
Israels priorities and problems should not be the American taxpayers concern or debt!
In 1947 they were given their own country, isn't it about time they started footing their own bills?
This is what allowing dual citizenship in political positions get you, the priority of paying someone elses bills.
The United States has planned to expand its military aid to the Israeli regime over the next two years, adding smart bombs to the new supply list.
US Congress approved a boost of $400 million worth of additional military equipment for Tel Aviv last month, Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported on Thursday.
The fresh aid package will bring the value of American military equipment stockpiled in Israel to $1.2 billion by 2012.
The type of equipment stockpiled in Israel is determined through dialogue between the Israeli military and the US Army's European Command.
It is believed that a great deal of the equipment will include “precision weapons” launched from air, according to the Israeli papaer.
Israeli Army Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said earlier this week that Tel Aviv would need 'much more precision weaponry' for future wars.
The agreement between Washington and Tel Aviv includes conditions under which the Israeli military may use what is officially labeled as US equipment. This has led to speculations as to whether the US military stockpiles in Israel are in fact meant for the Israeli regime.
