You probably even believe ZOGBY polls, too. Remember when the "majority" of Britain was against the Iraq war? Turned out it was pure bullshit cranked out by their intellectually-bankrupt media, after all. BBC's now in a lot of trouble from their captive customers...

Re: Turkey is out of the game. Their people are 90% against us. And we shouldn't be paying them all those billions anyway.

You're damn right! Send your $32 billion boodle to the Israelis instead --they're BROKE:

U.S. likely to okay half of $4 billion in aid sought by Israel

By Nathan Guttman, Moti Bassok and Aluf Benn


Israel will not receive the entire $4 billion in special defense aid it has requested from the United States because of the war in Iraq, according to discussions held this week in Washington by the director-general of the Defense Ministry, Amos Yaron. A U.S. administration source told Israeli officials earlier this week that the aid package was likely to be between $1-2 billion.

The U.S. is expected, on the other hand, to grant Israel the full $8 billion in requested loan guarantees.

Yaron traveled to Washington in midweek for a two-day visit during which he met with senior White House and Pentagon officials.

Newly-appointed Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is likely to send his director-general, Ohad Marani, to Washington next week to move the Israeli aid requests forward.

The U.S. administration has reservations about the sum requested by Israel. America wants the aid request to focus on the costs involved in Israel's preparations for the U.S.-led war in Iraq, and believes it should not include expenses stemming from Israel's fight against Palestinian terror. In its request, however, Israel includes a variety of security needs unrelated to the war in Iraq.
