Sometimes you get what you’re paid for…

The Shiites are not going to be taking any unnecessary risks with the stakes being so high: Baghdad/London: Palestinians living in Iraq have been warned that they will be killed by Shiite militias unless they leave the country immediately. Iraqi……

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.

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.

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

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……….

[...] Allahpundit brings up a very good point about a major thoroughfare in the West Bank that was funded by USAID that honors executed Saddam Hussein, to emphasize ‘values of Arabness, Jihad he represented’ 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? 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.

We should have cut off every penny the very second they chose to side with Hamas 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.

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.
