More arms for Saudi Arabia and $30B for Israel?!?!?

[prolesunited]

At what point does the insanity of all this become apparent to the majority of Americans and what are they going do to stop it?

I am so tired of being told there is no money for health care, for education, to repair housing, rebuild our infrastructure, etc., while we have spent billions and billions of dollars bombing a country thousands of miles away who posed no threat to us while simultaneously arming "allies" like the Saudis and Pakistan and mandating Israel increase its arsenal, which already is capable of glassing the entire ME.

Peace sounds like a much better deal. ENOUGH!!!

1. Don't worry, I'm sure Congress will find a way to block the Saudi part.

Israel alone will be armed. Just watch.

5. And the Russia and China will sell the Saudis some 'modern stuff'. They will gladly accept the cash

payments, versus the 'handouts' that the US taxpayer will provide to the apartheid state of israel.

9. The Saudis aren't ready to fight no matter whose weapons they have anyway.

It's just a shell game. They can't have a real military because it'd overthrow the House of Saud at the snap of their fingers.

2. I sure this has nothing to with Iran

3. You know, I wouldn't mind arming the world if we didn't have to go back and DISARM them later. n/t

4. Hey, how else would they keep the war machine

humming along?

[Purveyor]

6. Just look at the financial market turmoil. Me thinks the 'war machine' is about to hit a speed-bump

7. it is big business

for both parties.

8. I sometimes worry that what Huey P. Long ...

... once said (I presume in jest) about Louisiana was actually not so far from the truth and applies to our nation as well -- he said: "One of these days the people of Louisiana are going to get good government - and they aren't going to like it."
