| U.S. Congress takes on cheerleader role for Israel |
|
The U.S. House of Representatives, in a 98% vote in favor, has dramatically thrown its weight behind Israel in its conflict with Lebanon
snip...
A resolution solidy backing Israel was passed 410 votes to 8
snip...
According to The Associated Press, an AIPAC spokeswoman said Congress's overwhelming support for Israel reflects the support of U.S. voters and not any pressure applied by lobbyists. 'The American people overwhelmingly support Israel's war on terrorism and understand that we must stand by our closest ally in this time of crisis,' said Jennifer Cannata.

I hope Americans are ready to pay the bill for this... Its a bunch of money...We are running record deficits... thats my worry
