Good news: USAID paid for Palestinian town’s “Saddam Street”

The town in question is Jenin, site of the massacre that wasn’t. The street wasn’t named after Saddam when USAID ponied up for its repaving two years ago, but do you doubt for a moment they’d have hesitated if it was?

Our State Department’s been covering for these fascist, murderous wretches for more than 30 years. Why wouldn’t we lay down some asphalt for them too?

This is not the first time USAID projects to the Palestinians have been connected to support of terrorism and jihad.

WND reported USAID has reconstructed roads and municipalities in areas in the Gaza Strip controlled by Hamas…

According to Palestinian Media Watch translations, after USAID funded road projects in Jenin in 2004, a central street there was named after the first Iraqi suicide bomber, who killed four American soldiers in Fallujah.

The mayor of Jenin reportedly participated in an anti-American dedication ceremony in which speakers blessed the “resistance of the residents of Fallujah”

Also, a USAID-funded Palestinian sports center was named after Salef Khalef, operational head of the Black September terror organization, which was behind the killing of two US diplomats in Sudan in 1973 and the massacre one year earlier of 11 Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich.

Their Holocaust-denying “moderate” president met with the leader of Hamas in Damascus over the weekend to see if they could agree about not killing each other. They couldn’t.

That IS good news, if they can just hold off killing other people until they’re done. We can wish both Palestinian sides victory against each other.

We should have cut off every penny the very second they chose to side with Hammas by electing them into power. That of course, that would have required a spine.

Instead, for reasons I will never understand, we seem to insist on giving millions to people who hate us.

Darn spell checker. My last post should have read Hamas.

The publication of the 1973 CIA summary ends 33 years of public silence on Yasser Arafat’s murder of two high-ranking State Department officers. It is a notable event. The tortured history of the government’s treatment of Arafat’s responsibility warrants much additional investigation.

Right after the Scooter Libby trial……….

We’ve always paid through the nose to our enemies. If we didn’t pay, they wouldn’t be our enemies. What? Duh…

I really believe that US AID should only ship “Real Goods” and not money.

Send them Plumbing pipe, road construction tools, manuals, grain and foodstuffs.

But you can not trust foreign governments with our money.

hell you can’t trust OUR government with our Money and THEY ANSWER TO US.

So of course you can’t trust foreign governments with cash.

It is not news–and shouldn’t be surprising–that USAID money went to that. I wrote in 2005 about this kind of thing. And PMW was not the first to report that the Palestinians named a street after the first Iraqi homicide bomber who killed American soldiers. And in fact it was not a street.

As I first reported:

Among the proposed names [for streets in Gaza] are Yasser Arafat, and HAMAS founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. In the past, Abbas–in his first act as then-Palestinian Prime Minister–named a town square in Ramallah, “Al Alinah Amani Square,” after a homicide bomber in Iraq who murdered American soldiers.
