Any one listening to Issa on CSPAN now? Opportunities from this war |
|
He's calling on the US government to rebuild the infrastructure of Lebanon. Sees it as a way to win hearts and minds and to establish good relations with its government. Now do you suppose the majority of the people there don't recall who sold those weapons to Israel? Sounds as though he doesn't see the need for Israel to contribute at all.

I wonder how many more Israelis and Americans had stock deals benefiting from the assaults on Lebanon like that Israeli general they caught?

7. Not to mention that he funded the recall that brought us in California |

Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor. I will never forgive that dispicable excuse for a human being for doing that.

8. Sure. They won't pass up an opportunity to cash in at the |
|
expense of the American taxpayer (which means the money won't come from the upper 10% of the population. You know, they only make the money. They don't pay.)

11. So he is talking about giving Halliburton and the rest |
|
of the corrupt contractors that are "rebuilding" Iraq a shot of the billions needed to rebuild Lebanon. Sounds like a typical repub solution to the problem.
