"You asked where the PLO gets its terror money? Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Syria; Saudi Arabia" Well I did a little more looking around and it seems our government is giving Jordon 428 mil.,Egypt 2 bil. with 2/3 in weapons which I think were a number of F16's. These will most likely be used against us someday, maybe when we go after Iraq. Last but not least 150 mil. to the PLO. Now I see how America can put pressure on who some people say is the #1 terrorist Arafat. Seems funny how the U.S. criticizes Saudi's for paying blood money when it looks like we are doing the same. U.S. seems to be saying, do as I say and not as I do. I do not mind tax dollars going to friendly nations but I surely do not like it going to someone that wants to tear down my house. Maybe somebody else could enlighten me on this. I was watching the Fox channel the other day and they asked the kids in afghanistan what they wanted to be when they growed up. They mentioned engineers and doctors like most good cultures. I then realized that our money will not go to waste on rebuilding their country. This is in stark contrast when they had a special on terrorism and asked the children what they wanted to be when they got older. Get this, they want to be a martyr which I couldn't believe what I just heard. Seems the kid is going to have to change his occupation since his parents that wanted martyrdom, ran like rabbits when they fought against a army that was armed. Unlike the fighting of non-armed women and children. My what a wonderful world we live in today. Anyway I was wathing Netanyahu on an interview the other day and got a good laugh. He said that the terrorist in the world look at america as the big satan and Israel as the little satan. I guess he had met with G.B. the day before and they asked what they were called. He said that they were the midsize satan. hehe I like Netanyahu, I am going to have to buy his book he has out. I think it had something to do with the terrorist mindset.
