Ted rE....She's right. Its too bad, Fudd, your unable to see the implications of what the Senator is saying but instead have to put her down because she isn't politically correct by your standards
Here is what she said.
"We haven't done that," Murray said. "How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?"
She is flat out wrong. The US is the biggest giver of aid to Afghanistan, and has been long before the war. How many children would there be left, for those alledged schools, if the US didn't bring in food aid. Why not point out that the US also brings in aid, but different types. Isn't it quite possible the difference is how you give something. The US gives money to different aid organizations, such as charities and food banks, who then use the money to buy needed items. Thus the people connect the food with those charities, rather than the US; while OBL goes around personally sometimes and make a big deal about the pittance he gives them.. Sort of like some of the drug dealers did in Harlem so no one reported them to the police. And many of the Arab charitiies are run by OBL so he can skim off money to buy arms. Say, for every $1000 given to the charity, $200 might go to buying aid, and the rest for expenses and buying arms. OBL, just as many charities here do, have a big reason to advertize about their good deeds, so they can get even more donations and OBL can fund more arms. The fact that this woman is too dense to know these things is the problem. She is praising OBL use of charities to fund arms as a good thing for the people of Afghanistan; when in fact it was that type of funding which allowed OBL to destroy TWC, which led to Afghanistan being partially destroyed. |
