U.S. to Provide Substantial Aid for Gaza Reconstruction

[JVegas]

Gotta say, Obama and his cronies (Clinton) are smokin the ol' grass Billy boy smoked before he was a draft dodger. These morons are giving a terror organized "country" $ to rebuild...WTF ??? I guess we'll hug it out with IRAN too...nice diplomacy. We dont negotiate with terrorists, we just help them rebuild their country after they launch rockets into an enemy's country (Israel) and then get their ass handed to them with US missiles purchased by Israel and then launched into Gaza in retaliation -- guess we shouldnt make our weapons so effective...

U.S. aid for Gaza reconstruction will be "substantial," a State Department official told FOX News Tuesday after reports that the Obama administration plans to designate at least $900 million to rebuild the war-ravaged strip controlled by the U.S.-designated terror group Hamas.

"Our pledge will be substantial, that it will contain new funding and funding we had planned for 2009," the official said. "As the secretary said, it is not all finished yet, so can't confirm a $900 million package."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday -- as she prepared to make her first Mideast trip as America's top diplomat.-- that details on the package are still being worked out.
"We have made no decisions, and we are working across the government to determine what our approach will be," she said, adding that she's looking forward to attending the international donors conference for Gaza on March 2 in Egypt.
"But you know, there's still a lot of work to do," she said.

Aid money they give countries always has strings attached, which requires the money to be spent with American contractors. The money will not go to Hamas. In fact, the money will never leave Washington. It will simply be transferred from one American bank account to another. It's the same with aid we give Israel, Egypt, Columbia, Iraq, and all others. Look at it as "corporate welfare with an excuse", which is what most government spending is. The corporations don't pay thousands of lobbyists to roam Washington for nothing.

American weapons paid for by American taxpayers destroyed Gaza, and now American contractors paid for by American taxpayers will rebuilt it, until the next time. It worked for Iraq and Afghanistan, so why not Gaza? That's the American way.
