The Martial Plan
« on: February 22, 2003, 08:47:06 PM »
Lets's begin by pointing out that the Bush regime has turned the regular foreign aid budget into a tool of war diplomacy.

Small countries that currently have seats on the U.N. Security Council have suddenly received favorable treatment for aid requests, in an obvious attempt to influence their votes.

Cynics say that the "coalition of the willing" President Bush spoke of turns out to be a "coalition of the bought off" instead.

But it's clear that the generosity will end as soon as Baghdad falls.

After all, look at our behavior in Afghanistan.......

In the beginning, money was no object, victory over the Taliban was as much a matter of bribes to warlords as it was of Special Forces and smart bombs.

But chimpy promised that our interest wouldn't end once the war was won.....this time we wouldn't forget about Afghanistan, we would stay to help rebuild the country and secure the peace.

So how much money for Afghan reconstruction did the administration put in its 2004 budget?

None.

The Bush team forgot about it.



Embarrassed Congressional staff members had to write in $300 million to cover the lapse.

You can see why the Turks, in addition to demanding even more money, want guarantees in writing.



Administration officials are insulted when the Turks say that a personal assurance from Mr. Bush isn't enough.



But the Turks know what happened in Afghanistan, and they also know that fine words about support for New York City, the firefighters and so on didn't translate into actual money once the cameras stopped rolling.

 Promises are irrelevant.

For pointing out the pResident in the White House is a bigger bag of toejam than his predecessor, just making sure you FAUX News viewers get a viewpoint from someone other than Karl Rove or Rupert Murdoch.

And payroll is spelled with two L's ammo.  ;)

"The 2004 Budget proposes several initiatives to advance U.S. national security interests and preserve American leadership. The 2004 Foreign Operations Budget that funds programs for the Department of State, USAID and other foreign affairs agencies is $18.8 billion. Today, our number one priority is to fight and win the global war on terrorism. The budget furthers this goal by providing economic, military and democracy assistance to key foreign partners and allies, including $4.7 billion to countries that have joined us on the front line of the campaign against terrorism.

Of this amount, the President's Budget provides $657 million for Afghanistan, $460 million for Jordan, $395 million for Pakistan, $255 million for Turkey, $136 million for Indonesia, and $87 million for the Philippines"

At the Tokyo Conference over a year ago, the international community pledged $4.5 billion to help rebuild Afghanistan. For its part, the United States pledged nearly $300 million — and has delivered nearly twice that amount. Since October 2001, the United States has provided over $840 million towards Afghanistan's humanitarian aid and reconstruction[/b]

C'mon weaz... you can do better!  And get yer nose outta the Clinton News Network Boob Toob... gonna rot yer teeth suckin down all that BS.

Weazel, President Bush is doing far, far better than Clinton would be doing in these circumstances - just my opinion. There is no one, NO ONE in the Democratic Party today who can provide the leadership that we have gotten from George Bush.

Everything is going to be fine.

Weaz, I'm going to give you the opportunity to put your money where your mouth is. I challange you to support leadership in America by pledging either your upcoming tax rebate, or a straight $500 to:

I love my country

Welcome home, Weazel :)

Excuse me if this sounds rude, but Europeans need to get their heads out of their tulips as their own governments do the exact same thing in their own interests.
